Crustless Quiche

Dr Sloane — Fri, 27 May 2011 20:05:43 +0000

Hi True Health Wellness Class:
This week I want to share a fairly healthy,
very easy recipe. It can be used to take to a picnic/pot-luck, to serve guests
for breakfast or a ladies lunch, or just to keep in the fridge at home for a
quick, high-protein snack. It can be prepared in advance and cooked when
needed. It will keep in the fridge for at least a week. This time of year is
filled with starchy salads and chips, and while this recipe does contain wheat
and dairy, it also contains eggs and veggies. REmember, the goal of this
program is not to eat like a robot, but to learn to make better choices that can
fit into your lifestyle. It is still low-glycemic, can be all organic if you so
choose, and has vegetables too. AND, it is satisfying and delicious!! Feel
free to experiment with whatever veggies you choose.

Mix
together:
5 Whisked Eggs, 3 T. panko bread crumbs, 3 T. parmesan cheese, 1/2
c. cheddar cheese (leave some out to sprinkle on top), 8 oz. cottage cheese,
uncooked veggies without moisture of your choice (try spinach, red peppers,
mushrooms, & scallions). I have even used left-over cooked veggies from
another meal.
Put in a greased pie plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
remaining cheddar cheese, and bake 350 degrees for 45 mins.

Toxins you may not think about

In keeping with the theme of being aware of toxins in our lives, beware of spraying personal care products around pets and children. That means hairspray and perfume! Always spray in well-ventilated areas. Put perfume on your clothing instead of on your skin. Do not spray kitchen counters if the spray can make its way... Click to Continue Reading

A Salty, Crunchy Snack

Dr Sloane — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:36:53 +0000

Try organic popcorn without butter! Hannaford’s Nature’s Place Brand sells an organic version of microwave popcorn with just salt. The bag does not seem to have a heavy plastic lining, which should cut down on toxins leaching into the food. Do not get the butter….it is chemicals. Be sure to buy organic…it is the only...

Assignment to Prepare for Nutrition 2 Class

Dr Sloane — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:11:00 +0000

Be sure to do your journal this week….reflect on where you have improved your health and where you want to go. What are some specific goals?

Also, I am thinking of changing the class schedule a bit to reduce the gaps between classes. Think about that so we can discuss it and agree as a group to change or keep things the same.

Assignment: Take a photo of your cupboard and fridge today. No need to share with me unless you want to. Just take the photo for now. This picture reflects the reality of what you are buying for your home, which is more important that what you may eat when eating out. Keep this to compare to a second photo in a month or so from now.

Moderate Exercise

Dr Sloane — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 21:53:10 +0000

Research indicates that people who exercise moderately have stronger immune systems than people who are sedentary or intense exercisers. Start to park farther away, stretch in your car or at your desk, take the stairs, tighten your stomach and gluteal muscles while waiting in line, or find other ways to get more exercise even if you...

In order to set yourself up for fitness success, set exercise goals that are realistic for YOU. Every Sunday, sit down with your calendar and actually schedule your exercise session as if it were a very important Dr. appointment. Do not let anything get in the way! Remember….at least 30 days of moderate aerobic activity... Click to Continue Reading

How Are You Feeling?

Dr Sloane — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:53:50 +0000

No one can make you feel bad about yourself without your consent.

Not sure if something you plan to do/say is the right thing to do/say? Need help making a decision? Ask yourself this: Does that decision or that thing I plan to do/say make me feel at peace? If no, then do not do it! If yes, than proceed! This is a great litmus test on so many levels…

Next week (2/17) is the exercise 2 class which will be taught by Melissa Grattan of Make It Fit. I have to be at a chiropractic legislative event that night. Melissa asked that you wear comfy clothes and bring 2-5 lb weights if you have them. Also bring an exercise mat if you have one. If you have any extra of the above, please bring those to share.
