Does the thought of eating liberal amounts of fats and oils in your THM S meals make you feel anxious? Join me for the S for Success Challenge and learn to embrace healthy, nourishing fats!
I’ll be the first to admit that S meals are not a challenge for me. I naturally gravitate toward butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and cheese. It’s not problem at all to throw together a satisfying S meal!
Some of my favorite healthy fats (pictured above) include coconut oil, olive oil, red palm oil, raw cacao butter, and buttah.
What I can relate to, though, is feeling apprehensive about eating something that does not line up with what you’ve always believed to be true.
Such as the THM E meals – higher in healthy carbs. I really thought I didn’t need that many carbs and really struggled with “carbophobia.” Carbs are evil. Carbs make you fat.
But taking a week to focus on getting those E meals in daily helped me (and others) conquer those fears – because it showed me that I really do need more healthy carbs in my diet. I felt better and even lost a few pounds!
The same thing often happens to people coming in to the Trim Healthy Mama plan from a low-fat mindset. Fat is evil. Fat makes you fat.
This challenge is designed in a similar fashion to my An E-a-Day Challenge (I’m working on putting a page together complete with links to the Daily Check Ins on Facebook, but it’s not complete yet). It’s designed to help you practice planning and doing those S meals while juggling your fuels throughout the course of a week.
We’ll focus on Chapter 3 The Satisfying Meal (S for Short) in the updated plan book. We’ll take a look at the different types of S meals and how to put them together. And we’ll learn about why it’s important to include the right types of fats in your diet.
The THM plan is a wonderfully balanced way to approach nutrition. Nothing is excluded (except things that aren’t good for you anyway).
