🥞 @viking.waffles review

I reached out for a social media review… didn’t go great 😅
So I spent my own money and tested them myself.

Low-Fat Vanilla
▫️ 160 calories
▫️ 21g protein
▫️ 2g fiber
✅ Lean protein source
⚠️ Flavor: mid at best

Original Waffles
▫️ 200 Calories
▫️ 21g protein
▫️2g fiber
▫️5g saturated fat
❌Not a lean protein source but it does pass the taste test

⭐ Verdict:
The Original over Low-Fat Vanilla
Overall flavor? Lackluster.

Personally, I still prefer @stackdpancakes
And for the price — not worth it, in my opinion.

On the 12th Day of Fiber, your call to action is to eat at least 25g of fiber daily.

Research shows that people who consistently hit 25g+ have higher vitality and a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Inside my coaching program, we give clients custom fiber goals based on their calorie needs.

Eating a high-fiber diet makes it much easier to lose weight because you’ll be consistently less hungry.

Holiday desserts don’t ruin progress 🍰 mindless eating does.

Calories are like a budget 💸
You can save them for what you actually enjoy.

I have a deep passion for food and always enjoy trying new things but it’s never because I’m hungry. It’s for the taste and the experience. That’s why I often have micro portions of foods.

Before grabbing that extra slice, ask yourself:

👉 Am I actually hungry… or just eating because it’s there?
Most of the time, it’s not hunger — it’s habit.

Enjoy the food. Control the portions. Stay flexible.

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Here’s an actual influencer gift for you: dark chocolate — or even better, cocoa powder. 🍫

70% or greater cocoa, known on the streets as dark chocolate, is loaded with polyphenols—plant-based antioxidants that help you feel good and function better.

And yes, of course, there’s fiber in there too. ✅
Stir cocoa powder into Greek yogurt or blend it into a smoothie. A little chocolate goes a long way for your health and your taste buds.

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Avocado earns its hype:
You’re getting fiber plus monounsaturated fat — the type linked to better cognitive function and improved heart health.
This isn’t wellness fluff. There’s real physiology behind it.
But here’s the reality check:
Avocado is calorie-dense, and your eyeballs are terrible at portion control.

If you want the benefits without blowing up your calories, you need a food scale.
⚖️ Weigh it.
✅ Track it.
❌ Stop guessing.

A proper portion upgrades your meal.
An oversized one just turns “healthy” into “why isn’t the scale moving?”

If you don’t know how to use a food scale comment, “Monounsaturated”

Day 9 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Popcorn. Yes, really.
I love savory snacks.
Sweets don’t tempt me, but put a bag of chips near me and it’s over so obviously I don’t keep them in the house.

So on game day or movie night, I go popcorn instead.

It’s lower calorie, higher fiber, and you get way more volume for the same calories as chips. You stay full, you get to snack, and you don’t destroy your day.

If you are buying popcorn at the movie theater make sure it is without butter. Cooking it on the stove at home is the best option. Homemade popcorn is one of the easiest fiber wins you’ll ever get.

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Today we’re going with chia seeds which are rich in soluble fiber, which forms a gel in your gut.

That slows digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, improves satiety, and supports smoother digestion overall. You also get plant-based omega-3s (ALA), which help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.

✅ Add them to Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies. They absorb liquid, expand, and contribute to fullness without changing the taste.

❌ Don’t like chia?
Flax seeds offer similar soluble fiber and omega-3 benefits — plus lignans, which have well-documented antioxidant properties.
This is an actual nutritional upgrade backed by data, not a gimmick.

Keep your fiber moving in the right direction.

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Add a spinach side salad to dinner.

The bag in my hand is 50 calories and 4g of fiber, that’s what a high-volume food looks like. You get to eat a mountain of it for basically nothing.

Just don’t drown it in dressing.
Those calories add up fast, and suddenly your “healthy choice” turns into an equivalent of a traditional American cheeseburger.

My go-tos:
▶️ Lemon juice
▶️ Mix seasonings into nonfat Greek yogurt and use that as dressing
▶️ A non-calorie dressing like @waldenfarms_usaofficial

Spinach, fiber, fullness… bam.

Day 6 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Today’s fiber move: psyllium husk often thought of as a supplement but in fact simply a seed. This is about as convenient as fiber can get.

Take it in the morning and in the evening with a glass of water. Simple. Effective.
It keeps you full, helps digestion for very little calories.

Who’s already using psyllium husk, and who’s about to start pretending they always did?

Client Spotlight: George

George is a former athlete — he knew how to train, he understood hard work, and he wasn’t new to discipline. But life gets full. Kids, career, responsibilities… and even the athletes who “know what to do” hit a point where they need real accountability to execute at the level they’re capable of.

Once George committed to structure and coaching, everything changed — fast.

Here are the results:
🔥 20 lbs down in 4 months
🔥 Dropped to 12% body fat
🔥 Resting HR from high 50s → 42–43 (elite athletic range)
🔥 VO2 max at 65 — world-class conditioning
🔥 Now in a lean bulk, getting stronger every week
🔥 Training from home 5 days a week while being a dad of 2 and still playing hockey

George didn’t need gimmicks.
He needed a system, clarity, and someone to hold him to the standard he knew he could reach.

This is what happens when you stop operating at 70% and start showing up like the athlete you still are.

Now is your time.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Fiber Series

Bread has a bad rep even though civilization has been eating it for thousands of years. Grains especially those high in fiber have a positive impact on heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.

Replace your bread with high-fiber bread. That’s it. Easiest win of the week. I have it every single day because it cranks my fiber up without changing a thing about my routine.

Here’s the rule:
Look for 5g of fiber in under 50 calories per slice. If it doesn’t hit that, put it back.

My go-tos: @schmidtsbakery647, @eatroyo, @hero, all heavy hitters.

High-fiber bread takes zero effort, keeps you full, and actually supports the rest of the work you’re doing.

What’s your favorite brand? I’m curious who’s dialed in.
