CURB Appetite, GROW Nails, GET Regular, FEEL Full

Eat This Simple Meal & Curb Appetite, Feel Fuller Faster, Grow Nails, & Gain Better Regularity. Do you want to curb your appetite? Trying to cut back on your bread intake? Want to feel full after a few bites?

This meal has proven to do that for me this week, plus why my nails are growing!
A sweet potato, broccoli, & John Soule's Chicken Grilled Strips (precooked).
So easy. Microwave in 2 mins. (precook the sweet potatoes microwaved 6 mins).  

I love how this simple meal is signalling to my brain I am full, just after a few bites of this meal. Please realize that when you are eating alot of processed, canned &/or junk foods; the chemicals, additives, perservatives, etc. in those foods are confusing our brain signals, per something I read last month. Sorry, did not note the site link. But, I must agree. When I have eaten other meals with lots of processed stuff & junk foods, I often couldn't feel full; so I kept eating. It was like my brain was not receiving any signal that I was full. 

I was also eating for flavor & to curb stress. And the most flavorful food I had been choosing, seemed to be the most addicting. Some processed foods are addictive as they have enhanced flavors, heightening cravings for more.

 Now, I seek meals that are more natural so my body gets the messages it was meant to. I guess the goal going forward for me is to keep finding more of this type food combo and reduce processed/junk foods. But even though my simple meal did have a precooked meat, processed; the balance of broccoli & sweet potatoes (from the produce dept) was the right combo to offset it. More balanced meals, please!

When Your Dog is Bored

When my family formerly bred dogs, one thing that kept the pets happy WAS giving them their own large bone. **IMPORTANT:**  
◽Try to feed each dog their bone in a special spot just for them and consistently there, but especially important when you have multiple dogs, which helps deter fights over bones. Special places to chew for each dog also makes it easy checking whether the used bones needs to be tossed later if the chewed and gnawed-down bones become a swallowable-size
◽Once chewed bones become small, toss them. Don't leave any bone fragments that are small enough to swallow.  
◽Check reviews online to ensure the products you choose for pets are safe.
◽  Keep shoes off the floor when you have multiple dogs. Chewbones are helpful to distract your dog from chewing on furniture, shoes, kid toys. Use a water spray bottle and spray cats or dogs getting into mischief, e.g. as when chewing on household items, etc.
