🎃 Moist Oat-zempic Pumpkin Bread That Actually Keeps You Full (Oat Flour + GLP-1 Boosters)

Most pumpkin bread is basically cake. White flour, a cup of sugar, and an hour later you're hungry and cranky.

For us gals of a certain age, with hormones already playing games with our appetite, that blood sugar roller coaster is the last thing we need.

So I rebuilt it around the foods that help your body make more of its own GLP-1, the natural "I'm full" hormone:

✔️ Fiber — oat flour, chia seeds, ground flax
✔️ Protein — Greek yogurt and eggs
✔️ Healthy fats — olive oil and walnuts

These slow digestion so a slice actually satisfies you. And it's still soft, moist, and full of fall spice.

I eat a piece of this for breakfast and I'm good until lunch.

🍞 OAT FLOUR PUMPKIN BREAD (10 slices)

Dry:
• 2 cups oat flour (just blend rolled oats until fine)
• 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt

Wet:
• 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup olive or avocado oil
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla

Plus ½ cup chopped walnuts

1⃣ Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment or spray with olive oil non-stick spray.

2⃣ Whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another.

3⃣ Fold together, then stir in most of the walnuts.

4⃣ Let the batter rest 10 minutes. This is my secret to moist oat flour bread: the oats, chia, and flax soak up the liquid so it doesn't turn out dry or crumbly.

5⃣ Top with the rest of the walnuts and bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6⃣ Cool completely before slicing. Oat flour loaves are fragile while warm!

💡 Want more protein? Swap ¼ cup of the oat flour for vanilla protein powder.

It keeps 4 days in the fridge, and slices freeze beautifully for a grab-and-go breakfast with your coffee.

Tell me in the comments: are you a pumpkin-everything girl this time of year, or do you hold out until Thanksgiving? 🧡

What if this is your season?

Not the one you missed. Not the one you're "too late" for. This one, right now.

So many of us spent decades taking care of everyone else. Our kids, our husband, our job, our parents.

Somewhere in there, we put ourselves on the back burner and forgot to turn the heat back up.

But she's still in there. The woman who feels strong in her body.

Who wakes up with energy. Who looks in the mirror and smiles instead of sighing.

You don't have to burn everything down to find her.

You just have to start choosing her, one small step at a time.

One good meal.

One walk.

One kind word to yourself.

It's not too late to bloom
🌸

Good morning! How will you start your day?

I'm doing some cottage cheese and unsweet applesauce with cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.

And some resistance exercises with a light kettle bell.

Oat-zempic bread calms food noise- the screaming hungries

I grew up the fat one one in a family of thin people. They'd eat anything they wanted, stop when full and not think about food much. Food was often on my mind.

Naturally thin people don't experience hunger the same way heavy people do. Their guts have a different hormone balance and reaction to food.

I found that there is a way to trick your body into quieting the food noise and behaving more like a naturally thin person.

One of the hormones that quiets food noise is GLP-1, the same hormone that Ozempic and Wegovy copy.

Your gut already makes it after you eat. I found that a diet made up of certain foods stimulate GLP-1.

This helped me finally lose weight and has prevented me from gaining so easily when I do indulge in a pastry or a glass of w**e.

Here are some foods you can build your meals around:

1. Protein: eggs, Greek yogurt, fish, chicken

2. Fiber your gut bacteria can feed on: oats, beans, lentils, onions, garlic, chia

3. Healthy fat: olive oil, avocado, nuts

4. Cooked-then-cooled starch: potatoes, rice, or pasta cooked, chilled overnight, and reheated. Chilling turns some of the starch into a kind your gut bacteria feed on.

5. Fermented foods: plain kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi

The effect is much gentler than the shots. But it happens at every meal.

Eating this way helped me reset my hunger signals so I found that I naturally eat less and the food noise is quieter.

I still crave a pastry every now and then, but I can eat one and it doesn't trigger a binge or make me gain weight like it used to.

I started my eating plan with Oat-zempic quick breads. I substitute ingredients and add GLP-1 boosters which really helped me feel satisfied.

It's delicious for breakfast and your whole family will love it.

Recipe:

OAT-ZEMPIC QUICK BREAD

3 ripe bananas smashed (or 2 cups unsweetened applesauce)
2 eggs
1/2 cup raw honey or coconut sugar
1/3 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
1/4 cup water (omit if using apple sauce)
1 2/3 cups chickpea flour
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp flax seeds
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven 350

Butter bottom only of a loaf pan

Mix wet ingredients until well blended

Gently stir in everything else (don't over mix)

You've probably heard of Ozempic Face, but have you heard of Ozempic lady bits?

Yep, apparently that's a thing. As if us gals don't have enough to deal with.

It can happen to anyone.

I've found it frustrating that I lose weight slowly, but turns out that's a blessing in disguise.

Body parts can age and sag if you lose weight too quickly.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I've lost 80lbs and have had practically no loose skin on my body but some on my lower face and neck.

My GLP-1 eating plan does not have the dramatic effects of medication like Ozempic and Wegovy, but works the same way.

If you lose weight slowly you may avoid your lady bits deflating like balloons 3 days after a party.

Here's what helps:

Eat your protein. 25–30 grams per meal protects muscle and skin. ALL of it.

Lift something. Strength training keeps you firm instead of deflated.

Slow down, speed racer. 1–2 pounds a week gives skin time to catch up.

Drink your water. Dryness shows up everywhere.

Try collagen (ask your doctor) i use Vital Proteins. Tretinoin cream can help stimulate collagen.

Pamper your skin. Sunscreen and retinol at night for your face.

Talk to your doctor. For menopausal dryness, ask your gynecologist about vaginal estrogen.

Your body just needs a little extra love while it gets smaller. 💕

Menopause changed the game!

I've had a weight problem most of my life, so I've pretty much tried everything under the sun.

In my 20's, I could could lose weight quickly with the latest fad diet, Adkins, South Beach, cabbage soup.

That gave me false confidence that I could slim down any time I wanted.

And between pregnancy weight gain, career, motherhood, divorce and remarriage, the weight kept coming on and I hardly noticed because I was working from home in the stretchy pants.

I avoided mirrors, cameras and the scale.

Reality hit me when I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner and my knees started hurting from standing.

That same year, our Christmas pictures had a mysterious fat lady in in the background. To my horror, it was me.

I was almost 50 years old and when I finally got the courage to step on the scale, I was shocked.

I tried all my old tricks and nothing worked. The scale hardly budged.

Losing weight after 45 is a whole new challenge!

Estrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, your body starts storing more fat.

At the same time, most of us lose muscle every decade after 30 unless we work to keep it.

Less muscle means a slower metabolism and blood sugar that swings higher after meals.

That's why what worked at 25 stops working at 45. It isn't willpower. The rules changed.

I heard that medications like Ozempic and Wegovy work by boosting GLP-1 gut hormones so I wondered if there are foods that can raise GLP-1 and created my diet around those foods and a certain way of eating.

Here are some things to try this week:

1. Eat 25 to 30 grams of protein at breakfast. That's 3 eggs plus 1/2 cup cottage cheese, or 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with nuts.

2. Eat your vegetables and protein first, and your bread, rice, or potatoes last. Your blood sugar rises more gently.

3. Take a 10-minute walk after dinner. Even a short walk after a meal helps your muscles use the sugar in your blood.

4. Lift something twice a week. Resistance bands or a pair of 5-pound weights for 20 minutes counts.

I discovered that I needed to eat differently after 50 and I'm happy to say the weight is coming off. Finally!

I used to skip breakfast thinking it was an easy way to cut calories.

It didn't work because I was starving by 10am and grabbing a granola bar or a Snickers from the vending machine at work.

At some point, I heard Queen Elizabeth ate Special K for breakfast so I started eating it for breakfast. 😄 I know that sounds kinda dumb.

Well, it didn't help. I was still having the screaming hungries before lunch and I would give in, eat the granola bar and figure I blew it- so why not get the Panda Express orange chicken for lunch.

This was the cycle for me which seems so crazy now!

As I got into my GLP-1 research, I got a better understanding of what was going on and why I was struggling so much.

Foods like cereal, toast, a granola bar, or a muffin digests fast.

Your blood sugar goes up, comes back down, and you're hungry again before lunch.

Protein, fiber, and a little healthy fat take longer to digest and help your body release its own fullness hormone, GLP-1 (this is how the weight loss shots work)

When I got (really) serious about losing weight, I discovered Chia Pudding which I call my secret weapon. I even eat a few spoonfuls it as a snack or dessert.

Here's a five-minute breakfast you make the night before.

Berry Chia Overnight Oats
(serves 1, about 20 g protein and 12 g fiber)

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup berries (crushed pineapple or unsweet applesauce works too)
• 1/2 tsp sweetner (I use monk fruit sweetner)
• 1 tbsp chopped almonds

Stir everything except the almonds together in a jar and refrigerate overnight.

Top with almonds (or walnuts) in the morning.

Make three jars at once; they keep for three days.

Here's one I made.

I finally found a way of eating that I can live with!

I tried all the diets. That "all or nothing" mentality tripped me up for years. I felt fat trapped like nothing would work.

My weight skyrocketed and I found a doctor to prescribe Wegovy. I lost about 20lbs and I finally had hope!

Then my insurance stopped covering it. I gained back the 25lbs.

That made me think if the weight loss medications work by raising GLP-1, I wonder if there are foods that can do the same thing.

After much trial and error, I found a way of eating that helped me lose 80lbs by eating foods that boost GLP-1.

Protein is one of the strongest fullness signals your body has. Start the day with it, and you're far less likely to be starving by 10 a.m.

The easiest way to do it is to make breakfast ahead on Sunday.

SPINACH AND FETA EGG MUFFINS

Makes 12. Three muffins have about 20 grams of protein.

10 large eggs
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cups baby spinach, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and spray non-stick olive oil spray on a 12-cup muffin tin.

2. Whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt, and pepper.

3. Divide the spinach, onion, tomatoes, and feta among the cups, then pour the eggs over them.

4. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until the centers are set.

They keep 4 days in the fridge. Reheat for 30 seconds.

While the oven's on, boil six eggs too. That's breakfast or a snack covered for the week.

Other easy protein breakfasts: cottage cheese with berries and walnuts, or black bean and egg tacos.

Beans are a GLP-1 boosting superfood!

Smoky Turkey & Black Bean Chili

Hearty, high-protein chili that tastes even better the next day. Serves 6.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 cans (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
• 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 7 minutes.

2. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add the beans, tomatoes, broth and salt. Simmer uncovered about 25 minutes, stirring now and then, until thickened.
