PHFF Chocolate Fat Bombs
Its Friday and I'm promoting these PHFF Chocolate Fat Bombs like its my job. I've been doing A LOT of research on the benefits of PHFF in our diets (you can find a boatload of info on my friend Megan Kober's blog here). I've made it my goal to make sure I get an adequate amount of Protein, Healthy Fats, and Fiber in my diet each day and OH. MY. WORD! What a difference it has made! I feel so satisfied after each meal, my energy has been WAY up, and my belly bloat has been on a steady downward slope (I can see I'm on the road to a flat tummy)! So what are the parameters for practicing PHFF you ask? Well, from the research I've done and the knowledge that I have gained from Megan, it's ideal to have each of the following:
Protein: 1 serving = 20-30 grams / 1 serving for snacks and 1-2 servings per meal
Healthy Fats: 1 serving = 12 grams / 1 serving for snacks and 1-2 servings per meal
Fiber: at least 5 grams per meal
In the famous words of Bob (RIP) from Stranger Things "Easy peasy!" I'll be doing several blog posts on simple ways to get each one of these components into our daily diet, as well as giving you all lists of foods that are great sources of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Keep an eye out on the weeks to come! For now sit back, relax, and indulge on the creamy goodness of these PHFF Fat Bombs.
