Part of my work in clinic is to identity and address the root cause which is responsible for the symptoms a client is experiencing. The most common underlying condition I see is unbalanced hormones. Once I noticed that balancing hormones leads to the reduction of so many other symptoms, I knew I had to create a simple plan to help people understand and support their hormones.
Follow the plan
What’s the recipie for the lemon cakes on the last sf. Program?pleasae
Hello,
Thanks for asking, here is the recipe:
https://angeliquepanagos.com/sugar-free-lemon-bars/
Remember, although refined-sugar free, this recipe contains dates which are dried fruits. All dried fruits are high in fructose so should be eaten in moderation. You guessed it, this recipe should feature in the 20% of 80/20!
Hope you enjoy, do let me know what you think please and share a photo if you can.
This looks yummy!! Cannot wait to make it for dinner. Thank you.
Thank you – I hope you enjoyed it!
Have just read pdf and come across the link to these recipes. Thank you
Look forward to trying this one as have a butternut squash already waiting to be eaten but think you mean butternut squash should be cut into 2cm not 20cm cubes!!
(Also in quite a few recipes it says ‘diary’ free not ‘dairy’ free too)
Hello Sara, I am so pleased you are going to try- let me know what you think!
Yes 2cm cubes and thank you for spotting the typos we will look into that ASAP and get it corrected. They have been like that for ages- oops.
Look forward to hearing what you think.
Warmest wishes,
Angelique
