This is one of my favorite easy meals for regulating my blood sugar and getting plenty of protein. Combining high-protein beef with fiber-rich Brussels sprouts, as well as the saturated and monounsaturated fats in ghee, creates a simple yet delicious meal that won’t spike blood glucose and insulin. That means you feel satisfied for longer with less cravings, more energy, and a better mood. I prefer to use pasture-raised steak when I can because it allows our bodies to take advantage of grazing animals’ deep intuition. They intentionally seek out plants that contain the nutrients they need, acquiring a robust profile of powerful vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that can be passed to us through their meat.

You can craft a tasty salad that supports your weight-loss goals.
This recipe makes an easy summer side dish to go with any of your favorite proteins. I especially love it alongside wild-caught salmon or a bison burger. Squash is abundant this time of year, and I know many of my friends who garden have more than they know what to do with. I used zucchini, yellow summer squash, and smaller pattypan squash for this dish to offer a greater variety of colors and flavors. Both zucchini and yellow squash are decent sources of vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, and they are water-rich vegetables as well. Za’atar seasoning is a blend of multiple spices with potent health benefits. Sumac provides longevity-supporting flavonoids and thyme and oregano are rich in thymol and carvacrol, two compounds with robust antioxidant and antiseptic properties. Enjoy!
