Little hint then: White potatoes have lots of carbs and cause a significant rise in your blood sugar. Clicking now? Is option D starting to ding ding ding? Yep…you’re right…what occurs is a serious case of tandem fueling. Your body will have to first burn through all that glucose from the potatoes before it gets around to burning any of the fat in the steak. One thing you can bank on: No body-fat burning will occur. Potatoes can be a bit rough on blood sugar so we want you to give them a little rest for a while. You’ll be busy using all these other delightful veggies, so you won’t feel deprived. You can eat a white potato here and there once you’re at Crossover stage.
2.Nuts
Nuts are predominantly made of protein and fat with just a few carbs, so they fit into the S fuel. Unlike non-starchy veggies, however, they don’t need to be used as frequently on the S meal plate. We do want you to enjoy them but we can’t give license to go crazywith nuts since, unlike non-starchy veggies, they are very high in calories. Remember, while we don’t count calories we don’t abuse them, either, so don’t make a meal out of nuts alone! Moderation is a good idea; a handful or two for a snack can be a good S option.
Got apeanut butter addiction? Don’t worry. We’re not going to take that good stuff away from you. Natural peanut butter without sugar is fine. Slather some on your celery or put a tablespoon or so in an S smoothie, but don’t be like Little Jack Horner sitting in the corner eating it out of the jar by the spoonful! That could be in the abuse category. If you want more peanut flavor without going crazy, try pressedpeanut flour. Our Trim Healthy Mama Pressed Peanut Flour is high in protein and has simply been pressed (to extract a lot of the oil). The result is a nice flour/meal texture that has less fat and fewer calories but heaps of peanutty flavor. It is awesome in smoothies or shakes, baked goods, and savory Thai sauces. Check out the recipe for Peanut Junkie Butter in our “Condiments and Extras” chapter in the

Speaking ofnut flours—welcome to the world of Trim Healthy Baking! Nut flours will enable you to have moist muffins, cookies, and cakes that are kind to your blood sugar—even for breakfast if you want! Who makes all those rules, anyway? If we want frosted chocolate cake for breakfast or a big ol’ muffin slathered with buttah—we have it! Trim Healthy Mama baked goods are high in protein, full of superfoods, topped up with chocolaty or cinnamony goodness, and keep us happy. Pressedcoconut flour is another great flour option for baking, but we’re most excited about ourGluten-Free Trim Healthy Mama baking flour blend. It is a combination of various pressed seed flours and other superfood goodies. The result is a wonderful texture and taste for baking. We designed theTHM Baking Blend to have a lighter caloric load so you can add wonderful superfood fats like coconut oil and whole eggs to it and not abuse calories. It’s a jack-of-all-trades: pancakes, muffins, cookies, brownies, cakes, biscuits, sandwich breads, and even breading for chicken and fish—it has you covered. But since we have a “no special ingredients required” policy, you can also bake with golden flax meal, which is blessedly inexpensive and easily found at almost all grocery stores.Almond flour is easy to find in stores, too, but sadly it is not so inexpensive. You can make wonderful muffins and other baked goodies with either or both of thoseS-friendly flours. Check out many free Trim Healthy Mama recipes using those two flours on Pinterest or make our tried-and-tested favorites from the
