Snacks:
•Quaker Chewy Smore's Bars (90 cals per bar)
They're good, filling and pretty low cal! Good for sweet cravings.
•VGM Spinach Egg White Fritata (70 cals)
They're honestly great, they're small and extremely low cal for all the protein and nutrients in them. One of these plus a drink lasts me almost 4/5 of a day. (Not as big as on the box lol) They also have a lot of varients around the same amount of cals!
Meals:
• Plain English Muffin (150 cals for a whole)
These are amazing for the base of a breakfast/meal! It's 150 cals for a whole and 75 for half of one, pretty good. One of these with some scrambled/fried eggs in it is delicious and very filling. Some of the best carbs i could ever eat. (lots of variations too + a thinner lower cal version)
• Simply Fresh Premade Salads (260-300 cals)
I love these salads! So much food for so low cals and extremely filling!!! No joke. I like the Sante Fe Salad (lowest cal) and so yummy. Definitely recommend.
Drinks:
• V8 Energy (50-60 cals)
Oh my god. Literally so yummy and contain 80 mg of caffeine. They are delicious, my favorite flavor is the orange pineapple. There's more flavors than the ones i showed but!!
•Bai Antioxident Drink (5 Cals)
Once again there's more flavors for these drinks but, this is a photo of a few of my favorites. I like the blueberry one a lot. These drinks are so good and only 5 cals + lots of vitamins!! Another great drink.
HIIII IM BACK AFTE A YEAR TO ADD MORE!
The classic: Fiber one (60-140 cals)
so many options, they also have their own cereal
Light Yogurt: (80-150 cals)
Any light yogurt is so good, they're usually very filling. I like the light + fit brand but yoplait always has my heart for their fruit chunks.
Almond Milk: (30-80 cals)
literally in every food i make
Egg Whites: (25 cals per 3 tbsp)
Eggs whites and spinach are my staple meal for under 50 calorie meals!

Unveiling the Secrets of Your Gut Microbiome: A Journey into the Hidden Garden Within Shaina Tranquilino May 1, 2024
In the vast ecosystem of our bodies, there lies a secret garden teeming with life and vitality—the gut microbiome. Much like a hidden sanctuary waiting to be discovered, the intricacies of this microbial community have long fascinated scientists and health enthusiasts alike. As we delve deeper into the mysteries of our inner world, we uncover parallels between the gut microbiome and a flourishing garden, both nurturing and complex in their own right.
The Seeds of Diversity
Every garden begins with a single seed, and so does the gut microbiome. At birth, our gut is a blank canvas, awaiting the seeds of microbial life to take root. As we journey through life, our microbiome flourishes, shaped by various factors such as diet, environment, and genetics. Just as a diverse array of flora enriches a garden, a diverse microbiome fosters resilience and balance within our bodies.
Tending to the Soil: Nutrient Richness
The soil of a garden serves as the foundation for growth, providing essential nutrients for plants to thrive. Similarly, the gut environment plays a crucial role in nurturing microbial life. A balanced diet abundant in fibers, prebiotics, and probiotics acts as fertile soil, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while keeping harmful pathogens at bay. Just as a gardener tends to the soil with care, we too can cultivate a healthy gut environment through mindful dietary choices.
The Symphony of Interactions
Within the confines of a garden, a symphony of interactions unfolds—bees pollinate flowers, earthworms aerate the soil, and plants compete for sunlight and space. Similarly, the gut microbiome orchestrates a complex dance of interactions, influencing everything from digestion to immune function. Bacteria communicate with host cells, metabolize nutrients, and even produce essential vitamins, underscoring the interconnectedness of our inner ecosystem.
Weeding Out the Unwanted
In every garden, weeds pose a threat to the vitality of surrounding plants, competing for resources and space. Likewise, the gut microbiome must contend with invasive species that disrupt its delicate balance. Antibiotics, stress, and poor dietary choices can perturb the microbiome, leading to dysbiosis—a state characterized by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Just as a vigilant gardener weeds out unwanted intruders, we too can support our microbiome by fostering a healthy lifestyle and avoiding practices that disrupt its equilibrium.
Cultivating Harmony: The Mind-Body Connection
In the serene ambiance of a well-tended garden, there lies a sense of harmony and tranquility. Similarly, research suggests a profound connection between the gut microbiome and our mental and emotional well-being. The gut-brain axis—a bidirectional communication network linking the gut and the brain—underscores the profound influence of gut health on mood, cognition, and stress resilience. By nurturing our inner garden, we cultivate not only physical health but also emotional resilience and mental clarity.
Nurturing the Garden Within
As stewards of our inner ecosystem, we possess the power to cultivate a thriving garden within. By nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, fostering a diverse microbial community, and tending to our mental and emotional well-being, we lay the foundation for vibrant health and vitality. Just as a garden flourishes under the care of a devoted gardener, so too does our gut microbiome thrive under the guidance of mindful stewardship.
In the tapestry of life, the gut microbiome emerges as a testament to the intricate interplay between human health and the natural world. As we unlock the secrets of our inner garden, we embark on a journey of discovery, forging a deeper connection with the hidden forces that shape our well-being. So, let us tend to our inner sanctuary with reverence and care, nurturing the delicate ecosystem that sustains us from within.
I got my first Covid-19 vaccination (Pfizer) two weeks ago and going for the second shot soon. As a consummate hypochondriac who has never had a flu shot or taken any medication for 11 years now, I don’t leave anything to chance. First, I exercised to get my body in supreme form but stopped a few days before the vaccine. This ensured the body was calm and not distracted rebuilding muscle tissue when the vaccine entered the body. Alcohol and OTC pain medication dulls the immune response system. This can result in antibodies that are not as strong. My fasting diet was halted and replaced with three full meals days prior to the vaccine including a nice breakfast a few hours before the vaccine. While fasting is good, when we begin to fast, the body initially breaks down a number of immune fighting white blood cells. I was building reserve fuel so my body had all the resources to build the best possible antibodies as soon the vaccine entered by body. The vaccine process was pretty simple. I was out of there in all of ten minutes. Wow. Did I tell you I hate needles? Of course, I took the opportunity to do some binge eating. I got myself a nice steak, a generous helping of vegetables, fries and bread. Got a large chocolate cake too. Yes, sugar is the fastest energy source. Admittedly it is a dirty fuel but, in this case, it gets the job done. It was only for a few days. I really was tempted to pour myself a nice brandy to get the arm pain to go away. It would have gone down well with the steak. The next day the arm pain was a little worse. More irritating than painful. Again, I resisted the temptation to take some Ibuprofen or Advil. You see pain killers tell the body it’s not that serious. The higher the pain the better your body is triggered to mount a robust immune response and build antibodies that can machine gun any Covid-19 vermin that come its way in the wild. Get plenty of sleep. I took the opportunity to binge watch some movies and eat like a pig. It was rather fun. Anyway, that is the story of a hypochondriac getting a vaccine. But I am looking forward to another round of binge eating for the second shot. Apparently, you get the chills for 24 hours so the thermal blanket is ready. Besides I have my Cinnamon ginger tea which we know warms the body. So, all set.

This is why it's so important to be
INTENTIONAL with yourself and your life.
You are the one consistently creating the quality of both yourself and your external reality whether you are aware of it or not.
This is why healing, integration, transcending as well as managing your perspective and developing your character is so important.
Your internal vibration that you emit is affected by your internal world. That vibration is then radiating from you to the external and based on your vibration, then attracts people, things and experiences that match that vibration into your personal reality.
You are LITERALLY creating the quality of your life.
The things you want to change about your life or could be better needs to be addressed starting within yourself
You are in control. You create your reality... whether aware or unaware. It's better to be aware and practice and learn the processes that affects these things and master it so you can master yourself. Your cells are listening to your thoughts and emotions and perspectives. Make these things WORK FOR YOU.
Protein shakes are my salvation. 🙌
