Each day we start with a fruit and vegetable green smoothie, they vary each day and we have discovered a few we really like and a few we took a bit longer to drink.
Our favourite smoothie is one with a mix of pineapple, kiwi fruit, apple, spinach and banana with a sprinkle of black chia seeds.
Lunch, dinner and snacks are all fresh food (and delicious!). I am definitely not a food photographer, but these pics can atleast provide an idea of what we are doing.
This mix of veggies was one tasty meal, it was mixed with a light coconut sauce and a few rice noodles. Delish!
Fruit salad topped with natural yogurt and bran.
So the big question, do I feel any different since cutting out processed food and cutting back on coffee (only allowed 1 a day with a max of 5 a week)? I do and here are some things I have noticed.
- Better nights sleep - When my head hits the pillow, I am out - gone are the nights where I would lay awake for hours still processing sugar and caffeine from the day.
- Even more regular in the bathroom than before - (I know, not something nice to discuss, but important) I have always been regular, but now it can be 2 times a day.
- No more bloating or feeling sluggish after meals.
- When I did consume sugar (in the form of a tim tam) I got an instant headache.
- I feel satisfied throughout the day and don't go sugar hunting at 3:30.
- I don't feel like I NEED a coffee to start the day as I have so much energy when I wake now.
- I haven't had any breakouts on my skin, but I think this will take a little longer to clear up completely.
Time to discuss! What is for diet made up of? What are your favourite health foods that give you an amazing burst of energy?
Nutrition is really important!!! It the main factor of true progress. 70% of your progress depends on nutrition. Eating five meals,as eggs, blueberries, fish, green tea and grains which have the right macro nutrients are a key success for your body.
