43. How to eat healthy without giving up sweets

Where are my fellow sweet-tooth people at?!
🍪 I am a bonafide pastry and baked goods gal, so if eating healthy meant completely giving up all desserts and sweet treats...I probably wouldn't do it to be totally honest!
That's why coming up with strategies to "have your cake and eat it too" has been one of my favorite parts of coaching nutrition.
So, if you're like me and you crave a little treat after a meal, or can't stand the thought of having your coffee black, this episode is for YOU!

42. The Shocking TRUTH about GLUTTONY

Did you know that God takes gluttony way more seriously than simply "don't eat too much"?
😰 Yeah, me neither! In fact, the more I learned, the more compelled I felt to write my book, "The Guide to Eating Biblically in a Modern World." 
Not only does God have a lot to say about it in Scripture, but the enemy looooves to use it against us, causing sin.
Tune in so you don't fall into the same trap I did for so many years...
