Come with me to find healthy snacks at Costco! - Comment below with your food review requests! - When it comes to snacks at Costco, they have the BEST, but there’s a few ingredients we want to look out for. - Added sugars is one of them. The lower the added sugar the better - especially for snacks! - If there’s a hard outer coating on your snack bar, it’s most likely made with seed oils (see my dedicated video on seed oils with cited studies). - Finding the win at the end was an awesome surprise. Sweetened with dates rather than refined sugars and free from seed oils and artificial sweeteners was so refreshing to see! - Remember, life is about balance and I never judge 😊 - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

3 fails and 1 win at the end! Is it Coconut Cult Yogurt? - Yogurt has been touted as a healthy food by many doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, and the fineness industry. - BUT most of them are loaded in added sugars. While we may think 5 or 6g of added sugars in yogurt isn’t a lot, it all adds up and the average American gets approximately 68g of sugar a day! 😱 - The more sugar, the higher the blood sugar —> the more insulin is released —> the more blood sugar is stored as body fat. - Look for a low sugar yogurt OR one that is naturally sweetened with stevia, monkfruit, or Allulose. - Coconut Cult and all of the coconut yogurts I found, didn’t pass the test BUT Chobani Zero did! - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

Which frozen waffles are the best? - Kodiak frozen waffles met my expectation for most Kodiak products. It’s junk food with protein added - which does nothing for overall health OR getting you closer to your goals. - Evergreen waffles were so close to being a win BUT they used maple syrup which has a very similar glycemic index to sugar. While I loved the backstory of the company, the consistent theme that sugar is in EVERYTHING we eat leading to an average of 68g/day for the average American, was proven to be true. - Birch Benders frozen waffles had no added sugars BUT they had a seed oil. In my opinion this was the lesser of the evils here. - For frozen waffles, we basically know what we’re getting into, and it’s gonna be a cheat meal because they’re usually getting drenched in syrup and butter - sending calories and sugars through the roof. - What’s the solution? Homemade waffles where you can control the ingredients using almond or coconut flour, eggs, your choice of milk, and sweetened with stevia or Allulose. - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

Are Built Puff Bars healthy? More details below! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 - Palm kernel oil is a seed oil used in Built Puff Bars to ensure the outer coating doesn’t melt at room temperature BUT we know seed oils are literally in everything we eat and are offsetting our omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ratio (see study below). - The 6 grams of sugar in each bar, while not a large amount compared to something like a Coke or Pepsi, still contributes to our overall daily sugar intake. - The average American consumes approximately 68g of sugar per day - far more than our bodies were ever designed to. - So will one Built Puff Bar be the end of you? Probably not but the less sugar and seed oils overall, the leaner and healthier you’re going to be. - See my recent video on substituting protein snacks with whole food better packaged options. - Remember, life is about balance and I never judge. - Details in my profile for my one on one fitness and nutrition coaching… – Or go to coachgabbi.com. - Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition - Referenced studies below: - Seed oils: - Simopoulos AP.

What’s the difference is all these sugars? - Regular cane sugar that we know as table sugar, is the most common sugar. your parents bake with it, it’s in many packaged and processed foods, and it has a glycemic index of about 60 to 65. - The glycemic index scale gives you an idea of the change in blood sugar you can expect. The higher the number the more it increases your blood sugar. - Coconut sugar has a glycemic index that is only a few points less than regular table sugar it’s not a significant difference, so the effects on your body will be very similar. The advantage of organic coconut sugar is that we know it hasn’t been sprayed with glyphosate, an herbicide that has been linked to lymphoma. - Personally, I prefer Allulose as a sweetener. It’s a rare, natural sugar that can be found in nature in some fruits and vegetables. When it’s commercialized, though, manufacturers will usually make it from corn or fructose, and they add an enzyme to extra extract the Allulose. While the molecular structure is the same, we want to be careful because it comes from corn, which is a crop that is commonly sprayed with glyphosate. This is why I always use non-GMO Allulose. - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition - Allulose References: - Anti-diabetic: - Suzuki T, Sato Y, Kadoya S, Takahashi T, Otomo M, Kobayashi H, Aoki K, Kantake M, Sugiyama M, Ferraris RP.

Which cold brew coffee is the best? - We hit Whole Foods to find the best cold brew coffee for you and I was shocked at the sugar content in almost every one! - These ready to drink coffee mixes are, for the most part, coffee, sugar, and seed oils. - With all of the healthy sugar substitutes available now (stevia, monkfruit, and Allulose) you’d hope that food companies would gravitate towards these options. - However, cane sugar is cheap and addictive, and companies know this. - While Pop & Bottle’s cold brew was the healthiest based on ingredients and it was our hopeful, it still didn’t have the taste that we were hoping for. - Note: while dates don’t typically spike blood sugar, Britt is T2 diabetic with a constant glucose monitor and dates actually DO cause a significant rise in her blood sugar. While this isn’t the case for the majority of people, it goes to show you that nothing is absolute and each person’s insulin sensitivity will vary. - For healthy fitness & nutrition programs tap the LinkTree in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Over 2,300 clients to success in the last 14 years. - Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

Beef tallow or not, there’s 73 ingredients in a Shake Shack Shackburger 🤯 - Shake Shack has stated they’re switching to cooking their fries in beef tallow - which is great BUT - - Their burger has 73 ingredients in it and is up there with Chik-Fil-A’s chicken sandwich, McDonald’s Big Mac, and the possibly In-N-Out (since they’re also hiding their ingredients from the public). - All the cooking in beef tallow does us no good if the burger has: - DATEM and Mono and Diglycerides - which have residual trans fats in them. - Potassium sorbate & sodium benzoate - preservatives linked to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity (cellular damage and DNA damage). - Articulate colors - these are ingredients like Red40, Yellow 5 & 6, and Blue 1. They wouldn’t specify which ones but we know they have these in their ingredients. - Big thanks to @thefoodbabe for somehow obtaining the ingredients in their food products - because I had zero luck online or in person. - Comment below if you want Shake Shack to disclose their ingredients so we, as consumers, know exactly what we’re ingesting. - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition - References: - Potassium Sorbate: - Fatma Okus, Deniz Yuzbasioglu, Fatma Unal, Molecular docking study of frequently used food additives for selected targets depending on the chromosomal abnormalities they cause, Toxicology, Volume 502, 2024 - Parvin Dehghan, Ali Mohammadi, Hossein Mohammadzadeh-Aghdash, Jafar Ezzati Nazhad Dolatabadi, Pharmacokinetic and toxicological aspects of potassium sorbate food additive and its constituents,Trends in Food Science & Technology, Volume 80, 2018, Pages 123-130, ISSN 0924-2244, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2018.07.012. - Potassium Benzoate: - Zengin N, Yüzbaşıoğlu D, Unal F, Yılmaz S, Aksoy H.

What we’re trained to believe is healthy VS what actually IS healthy… - (More info on meals below my coaching info) - I currently have 5 spots open for March for my coaching - and they fill up fast! - Details in my profile for my one on one fitness and nutrition coaching… – Or go to coachgabbi.com. - (Meal info continued below) - Depending on your size, activity demands, and how many times you eat in a day, for the average person (not including bodybuilders) a healthy, average meal should range between 300-600 calories. - Packaged and processed foods are loaded with additives that can actually increase our hunger cravings while shuttling more nutrients to body fat. - The meal I have here is roughly 300-350 calories and is designed to keep my blood sugar normalized, fill me up, AND keep ghrelin (one of our hunger hormones) from spiking. - I will eat 5-6 times a day like this and even have a few snacks here and there. That puts me at over 2,600 calories a day on a non-wrestling training day. My body also burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates - this includes my own body fat and is one of the tricks I use to stay lean. - Protein, fats, and fiber with every meal will satiate you longer than any packaged or processed food 🔥🔥😊 - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

Skinny syrups - two fails and one win at the end! 🏆 - Just because a product is labeled “skinny” does not mean it’s healthy for us. - While the first two skinny syrups were loaded in artificial sweeteners and preservatives that are linked to cytotoxicity (cellular damage) and genotoxicity (DNA Damage), the last option from Wholesome was a total win. - It’s sweetened with Allulose, which I absolutely love. It’s a natural, rare sugar. - Remember - no one pays or sponsors me…EVER. - I cannot be bought. - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition - Referenced studies: - Potassium Sorbate: - Fatma Okus, Deniz Yuzbasioglu, Fatma Unal, Molecular docking study of frequently used food additives for selected targets depending on the chromosomal abnormalities they cause, Toxicology, Volume 502, 2024 - Cytotoxic and genotoxic Parvin Dehghan, Ali Mohammadi, Hossein Mohammadzadeh-Aghdash, Jafar Ezzati Nazhad Dolatabadi, Pharmacokinetic and toxicological aspects of potassium sorbate food additive and its constituents,Trends in Food Science & Technology, Volume 80, 2018, Pages 123-130, ISSN 0924-2244, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2018.07.012. - Synthetic Dyes: - Potential impacts of synthetic food dyes on activity and attention in children: a review of the human and animal evidence Environ Health. 2022; 21: 45.

Protein coffee - I’m comin for ya! - The Chike cold brew coffee had artificial sweeteners in it and was basically just coffee flavored protein. - Sucralose, which is just the generic name for Splenda has been associated with higher incidences of cardiovascular events (heart issues) and cerebrovascular events (lack of oxygen to the brain). - Ya’ll had also asked me to review Truvani Protein, which just happened to be alongside the protein coffee mixes. - The Truvani chocolate was 100% awesome. No bad ingredients in it whatsoever, naturally sweetened, low in carbs, and it tasted phenomenal. It’s my new go-to protein. - Remember - no one pays or sponsors me…EVER. - I cannot be bought. - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition - Referenced studies: - Sucralose and artificial sweeteners, association with cardiovascular & cerebrovascular issues, and cancer: - Debras C, Chazelas E, Sellem L, Porcher R, Druesne-Pecollo N, Esseddik Y, de Edelenyi FS, Agaësse C, De Sa A, Lutchia R, Fezeu LK, Julia C, Kesse-Guyot E, Allès B, Galan P, Hercberg S, Deschasaux-Tanguy M, Huybrechts I, Srour B, Touvier M.

Which chicken nuggets from Target passed the test? - None…well none for my 100% “Gabbi-Approved” stamp, - BUT - The Purdue nuggets were the lesser of the evils. It did have a seed oil and some added sugars - both of which I’m not fond of. - However, in a landscape full of horrendous food additives, this won the contest. I would say to use sparingly and not every day. I would also recommend pairing with some veggies for the healthiest options. - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

More In-N-Out Burger saga… - Attempt number 3 at obtaining their ingredient list so we can have transparency on what we are eating. - I know from calling their customer service line that their food products contain synthetic dyes (Red 40 and Yellow 5), soybean oil that most likely was farmed with glyphosate, Sucralose, their fries are cooked in sunflower oil (seed oil), and several products have high fructose corn syrup. - If you want full transparency, leave a comment and let In-N-Out know. - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT, BSc - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

Healthy alternative at the end! - (Apologies for my swollen face. This video was from when I was getting over whatever plague wiped us all out last week 🙈) - So Drizzilicious was loaded in sugar and seed oils so it did not pass the test. - And yes, refined sugar typically comes from sugar cane, but it can be created from corn as well by adding enzymes to corn syrup - specifically for the creation of high fructose corn syrup. - The win was the basic rice cakes. Then, take some natural dark chocolate, some Allulose and a tiny bit of coconut oil and cook it all down in a saucepan. Drizzle it on your rice cake for a healthy and delicious snack :) - Over 2,300 clients to success in the past 14 years 🔥 - Details in my profile to sign up for my online 1-on-1 fitness and nutrition coaching with me and my team! – Or go to coachgabbi.com. – Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Gabbi - LSN, CPT - #healthy #healthyfood #nutrition

More tips 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 - 1 - When using other options for soda swaps, remember Ollipop and Poppi both have added sugars in them. This is why sparkling water is the best option when it comes to cutting out calories. Spindrift has the lowest amount of microplastics out of all the sparkling waters. - 2 - Instead of fast food, meal prep. Buy cheap containers at the store, go shopping, and meal prep 2x per week. I prefer Sunday and Wednesday evenings. - 3 - Use Allulose to reduce hunger cravings. I use half of the dose used in the study below and it’s enough to control most of my hunger cravings and food noise. 2 teaspoons is about 7g. - Details in my profile for my one on one fitness and nutrition coaching… – Or go to coachgabbi.com. - Happy shopping! - Not a paid partnership…with anyone - ever. - Referenced studies below: - Han Y, Kwon EY, Yu MK, Lee SJ, Kim HJ, Kim SB, Kim YH, Choi MS.
