We have all been going through a lot this year. This is why I felt the need to remind you to truly take care of your well being. Don’t pressure yourself too much with self inflicted and hard to achieve goals. Be kind to yourself, mindful of what you eat, exercise moderately, sleep well and create your own balance. Each and everyone of us is different, so please do whatever makes YOU feel good and grounded.And please, let’s all try to be grateful for who we are and what we have in our lives.

A sneak peek on what we were discussing: While having coffee 
together, we realized how much a break can be a real pause to breathe or can be added stress. Let’s take this as an opportunity to reflect on how we support each other as peers and colleagues.Are our gatherings helping us?Are they making us feel connected or disconnected?Are you feeling heard and supported after the break? Lighter or heavier?How would you modify that?Let’s hear from you 
Many of you messaged me yesterday with questions about the safety of foods and meal ideas that don’t require a fridge (you might need gas though 
).Swipe right for 11 breakfast ideas 
to go with your coffee Some clarifications:- You can keep the eggs 
out of the fridge (as long as they were never refrigerated)- You can use powdered milk or 200ml milk 
or vegan milk to keep out of the fridge and use the whole quantity (so you won’t need to refrigerate the rest)- I haven’t included white cheeses not only because of the power outage also because they found severe levels of E.Coli (a bacteria that can cause food poisoning
) in Lebanese cheeses.
.
I felt the urge to share the below safety measures during power outage:As the USDA notes, your refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power outage. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power.A full freezer will hold a safe temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full and the door remains closed). Discard ice cream if it contains many crystals. Source: foodsafety.gov

I love pesto sauce but Parmesan not so much… So I have tried several vegan recipes and I found my favorite 😋
It happens to be healthy & nutritious 😉
I calculated the nutrients in a serving of 1/2 cup of sauce: it contains 250 calories, 14g proteins, 10g of carbs, 19g of fat of which 16g are unsaturated fats (good fats).
The recipe below yields 1 cup of sauce and is good for 2 meals 🍽️
In a food processor, blend:
– 100g fresh basil (large stems removed)
– 3 Tbsp pine nuts
– 2 Tbsp lemon juice
– 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast (if you like cheesy texture, you can add 1 more tbsp)
– Salt & pepper to taste (you can also add 2-3 garlic cloves)
Then, you add 1 tbsp at a time:
– 2.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
– 4-6 Tbsp water (depending on the texture you like)
It takes max 10 minutes to prepare! Hope you will like it 😁
It is an eating disorder that is characterized by the need to eat “clean” and “pure” foods to the point that the individual becomes obsessed with this way of life.

This cycle is a vicious circle people usually get caught in after repeated attempts at dieting.
Fad diets will push you to restrict your food intake or remove food groups. They might help you lose weight at first because it is different from what you are used to doing, but soon enough, you feel deprived, frustrated and you will eventually “cheat” and overeat.
This will make you feel guilty and affect your self-esteem. However, you should know that overeating is the body’s natural response to starvation to protect itself, it is not a lack of willpower that makes you eat.
Unfortunately, you will also be developing an unhealthy relationship with food.
Here’s what you need to:
– make peace with food
– respect your body
– deal with negative emotions without using food
– most importantly, have a balanced lifestyle.
If you feel that you are stuck in this cycle, I am here to help 🙂
