In this class I&#8217;ll be diving into the nitty gritty of getting healthy and getting macho about your blood sugar.<\/p>\n<h3>Mark Your Calendar Now!<\/h3>\n<p>Even Keel: 3 Keys to Sustainable Blood Sugar Balance<br \/>\nClass #1 of the BOSS Detox<br \/>\nSaturday, April 8th at 9am PT\/ 12pm ET<br \/>\nclick here to register (it&#8217;s free!)<br \/>\nYou probably know that blood sugar imbalance plays a role in diabetes. But do you know that it\u2019s also a major trigger in heart disease, cancer, candida, adrenal fatigue, and autoimmunity?<br \/>\nPersonally, I&#8217;m pretty macho about my own blood sugar balance.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s one thing in my health routine that I tend to like a hawk to keep me fueled for my busy life and to help me to manage my autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto&#8217;s).<br \/>\n<strong>Blood sugar balance is a key step to sustainable health for every one of us!<\/strong><br \/>\nStill, you may be wondering why the focus on blood sugar.<br \/>\nWell, <strong>blood sugar affects your mood, your weight, your mechanisms of hunger, your hormone balance and your immune system.<\/strong><br \/>\nBlood sugar affects every single chronic condition you&#8217;re looking for help with \u2014 from migraines to irritable bowel troubles to brain fog to joint pain.<br \/>\nWhen blood sugar is out of whack for too long it can lead to disease states like hypertension, Candida and persistent internal inflammation (all underlying factors for the things that ail us).<br \/>\n<strong>Managing blood sugar is a BIG DEAL!<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom a functional nutrition perspective, it\u2019s one of the \u2018core basics\u2019 for good health.<br \/>\n<em>But just what is blood sugar?<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Blood sugar is basically the sugar\u2014or glucose\u2014in the blood. And glucose is the elemental factor of every single carbohydrate you eat.<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce the carbohydrate has worked its way through your digestive system, been reduced to a simple sugar such as glucose, and reached the bloodstream through the processes of absorption, it&#8217;s taken to the liver where it&#8217;s either distributed to the cells for energy, or stored for later use.<br \/>\nBecause of the liver&#8217;s limited storage capacity, any excess carbohydrates are converted to and stored as fat. (Yeah, no thank you!)<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s your sweet liver that helps regulate your blood sugar levels.<br \/>\nThe more complex the carbohydrate, the slower the food moves into the bloodstream, allowing the liver to take up its sugar-load without becoming overwhelmed.<br \/>\nAnd this is what brings me to the <strong>glycemic quotient<\/strong> that you may have heard about.<br \/>\nThe Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load are something I&#8217;ll be talking more about in the coming weeks so stay tuned!<br \/>\n<strong>Now you&#8217;re probably wondering what this has to do with plantains, which is the food I want to talk to you about today\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re tapped into the Paleo craze, then plantains are not new to you.<br \/>\n<strong>Blend &#8217;em. Chip &#8217;em. Bake &#8217;em. Stew &#8217;em.<\/strong><br \/>\nPlantains are a perfect example of how carbohydrates differ.<br \/>\nThe plantain may be a starchy <em>item<\/em>, but it won&#8217;t spike your blood sugar as long as you eat the green ones, and let whatever you make with them cool a bit before eating.<br \/>\nPair your plantains with some other fat and fiber, as we&#8217;re doing in our <em>Macho Bread<\/em> (recipe below), and you&#8217;ve swapped the high-sugar carb-laden bread for a nutrient-dense delicacy.<br \/>\nSo here&#8217;s a secret that I want to share about myself\u2026<br \/>\n<em>I love toast!<\/em><br \/>\nIt\u2019s true.<br \/>\nBut since I do not eat grains and I <em>do<\/em> get macho about my blood sugar, I prefer low glycemic breads like the <em>Macho Bread<\/em> that has become a favorite among many on the Replenish team and our extended community (which certainly includes you)!<br \/>\nJoin me on April 8th for Even Keel\u2014the first free class in the BOSS Detox (which I\u2019m making free for you through this weekend only!)\u2014and let&#8217;s find out why blood sugar balance (and balance in general), can sometimes seem so elusive. Then we can talk about why it&#8217;s time to get macho, which you can certainly start to do with the Macho Bread recipe below.<br \/>\nWarmly,<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/signature.png\" alt=\"Andrea Nakayama\" width=\"192\" height=\"63\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9811\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>P.S. Your simple To-Do list this week includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>hunting for green plantains<\/li>\n<li>trying the Macho Bread recipe below<\/li>\n<li>signing up for the free Even Keel class!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>MACHO MACHO BREAD<\/h2>\n<p><em>I do confess. I like my &#8220;bread&#8221;, even though I haven&#8217;t eaten any real bread in years and don&#8217;t even eat grains. So what&#8217;s a girl who wants a morning piece of toast to do? (Especially on an egg-free, sometimes nut-free protocol?)<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Get macho in the kitchen, that&#8217;s what!<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 (15oz) chilled can of full-fat coconut milk<\/li>\n<li>2 green plantains (&#8220;macho&#8221; bananas)<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbspn coconut flour<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbspn psyllium husks (ground)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tspn aluminum-free baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tspn ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 tspn sea salt<\/li>\n<li>optional: coconut sugar and cinnamon for topping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Preparation<\/strong><br \/>\nPreheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.<br \/>\nScoop out the coconut cream from the top of the canned coconut milk after it has been chilled (the clear liquid can be saved for smoothies). You should have about 3\/4 of a cup of coconut cream but no need to measure.<br \/>\nChop up the peeled plantains and place in the food processor. (Note: You may need to slice the green skin off with a knife instead of peeling back the layer, like you might a banana.)<br \/>\nGive the processor a whirl.<br \/>\nAdd the other ingredients. Process until a smooth batter forms.<br \/>\nScoop the batter from the processor onto the parchment lined baking sheet and spread to about 1\/4 inch thickness. It&#8217;s easy to form as the psyllium will make the dough quite springy. (If using the cinnamon sugar, sprinkle this onto your liking before baking.)<br \/>\nBake for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool before slicing. The cooled bread has more resistant starch to feed your good bacteria.<br \/>\nThis recipe also makes a good grain-free pizza crust. Just omit the cinnamon (and coconut sugar, of course).<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s Get Macho!<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fxnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/plantain2.jpg\" alt=\"plantain macho bread \" width=\"186\" height=\"270\" class=\" wp-image-14733 alignright\" \/>Plantains look like a larger, more angular version of a banana and are, indeed, a member<br \/>\nof the banana family. They&#8217;re also known as \u201ccooking bananas\u201d because they&#8217;re used more often in savory dishes than their super-sweet cousins.<br \/>\nPlantains are starchier and are lower in sugar than regular bananas. They&#8217;re typically consumed cooked, due to their high starch content, and are ripe when they are still green.<br \/>\nAs a plantain matures, the sugar content will increase (and starch content decrease) and the color will change to yellow, start to gather dark spots, and then turn black. They can be eaten raw at these later stages of ripeness, but are not as tasty as regular bananas, and their sugar content will increase at this later stage (ie. not in our blood sugar balancing favor).<br \/>\nFor the purposes of maintaining even blood sugar, plantains should be used while still green. This is when their sugar content is low. Green plantains can be a little tricky to peel. Use a sharp knife to cut off both ends and then cut a slit down the length of the peel. You can then remove the peel in sections.<\/p>\n<h3>Nutrition &amp; Health Benefits of Plantains:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>rich source of vitamins A and C as well as potassium<\/li>\n<li>good source of dietary fiber and resistant starch<\/li>\n<li>they soothe the intestines and are easy to digest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Mark Your Calendar Now!<\/strong><br \/>\nEven Keel: 3 Keys to Sustainable Blood Sugar Balance<br \/>\nClass #1 of the BOSS Detox<br \/>\nSaturday, April 8th at 9am PT\/ 12pm ET<br \/>\nclick here to register (it&#8217;s free!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re keen on tapping into your body&#8217;s wisdom and uncovering your best self.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re not ready to put your health completely into anyone else&#8217;s hands, as you&#8217;ve not found that approach to be very successful in the past.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re ready for the insights that will guide you in your everyday self-care, from your personal-best breakfast choice to your &#8220;baddest&#8221; beauty rest.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s face it, you&#8217;re a bit macho in your know-how about your body!<br \/>\nAnd you deserve to be!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5929,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[181,190],"class_list":["post-5872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-negotiables","tag-blood-sugar","tag-recipes"],"_yoast_wpseo_sitemap-include":null,"_yoast_wpseo_canonical":null,"_yoast_wpseo_redirect":null,"_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":null,"_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":null,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":null,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":null,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":null,"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Let&#x27;s Get &quot;Macho&quot; - Functional Nutrition Alliance","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Join our free class, \"Even Keel: 3 Keys to Sustainable Blood Sugar Balance,\" on April 8th!
