What i eat

hello friends
I'm going to write this post on what i eat on average, how its working out for me and what i want to change.

My shopping list consists of:
coconut- eat
dates- eat
goji berries- eat
kiwi- eat
satsumas- eat
apple- juice
banana- eat
baby leaves- eat
lettuce- eat
celery- juice
cucumber- juice
carrots- juice
broccoli- eat/juice
beetroot- juice
red cabbage- juice
lemon and lime- juice
ginger- juice
beansprouts- eat
tomato's- eat
avocados- eat
Red pepper- eat/juice

some times i will get berries, other root veg, fresh herbs, radishes and anything else i want to try juicing. I don't always get these foods every week, but these are the most popular and regular foods i will have in my diet.

Daily eating:
7.00am- 1 pint of vegetable juice
10.30am- a small snack like some cucumber or celery
1.00pm- a big salad and if I'm still hungry, 1 piece of fruit
5.00pm- 1 pint of vegetable juice
evening- i tend to snack in the evening. mainly on fat like avocado or coconut and also fruit.

In the morning after my juice, i have so much energy. I feel so energised, bouncing and glowing. I feel great! I have only been drinking juice since Christmas but it has made SUCH a difference already, i cannot stress to you enough how big a difference juicing has made. I threw myself into juicing a bit to quickly, and my body is still adjusting to it and I'm still adjusting the juicing to my body. This is my main form of getting nutrients into my body now. Id love to do a juice fast soon, i think it would be so much fun.

Throughout the day i feel good and energised. Eating greens out the day makes me feel good, but if i eat 1 piece of fruit during the day then i will crave fruit so badly it will drive me nuts, so i only tend to eat greens while I'm at work, and this provides me will all the energy i need.

The evening is where i have a problem. I love to eat and i over eat when I'm not active. I will eat to the point of feeling sick and it not good for me.

My new years resolution is to stop eating when i am full, and i have also drawn myself an eating chart.

Monday- nuts and seeds
Tuesday- no fat
Wednesday- Avocado, seeds or Brazil nuts
Thursday- no fat
Friday- no fat
Saturday- coconut or avocado + dates (if not fasting)
Sunday- if not fasting, fats can be eaten in lieu of sat
* If doing a 2 day fast, fats cannot be be eaten on any other day in lieu of the weekend*

I feel good, and lighter when i eat low fat and the only reason i seem to be eating more fat is because i cut down my fruit intake alot. I used to be eating fruit for breakfast, then as a snack, another piece at lunch and then in the evening. Yes, i was full of energy, but i also didnt loose any weight, which is what i wanted to. I also felt bloated, gassy and i didnt want to consume that much sugar. So i feel better for cutting out the fruit, but i also want to reduce the fat aswell because im having it about 4-5 times a week. Yes im loosing weight, but i feel to heavy. I want to eat more greens like baby leaves.

So there it is!

nearly 3 months 100% raw Happy christmas!

Hello all!
Its been such a long time since i have blogged on here. Ive moved house, and not had the internet for goodness knows how long! anyway here i am and i will give you a quick update.

I am still 100% raw with NO slip ups and have been for around 87 ish days- nearly 3 months and im amazingly happy about it

I have lost 11lb, mostly from my hips and my confidence is getting better. I just feel so much better when i look in the mirror now.

My OH got me a juicer for xmas so i have been juicing twice a day and LOVING it! I could just live off them! (and i would if i could bring it too work with me!)
Maximun health here i come!!!!

My fave juices so far are;
Carrot, beetroot, ginger and apple
Beetroot, cranberry, carrot and red pepper
celery, cucumber, parsley and apple

For a while my body has been wanting more simple and mono foods, which i have been happy to provide. I have been eating alot more fats too, which i am going to change in the new year.
I dont mind eating fat. but im eating coconuts twice a week, nuts twice a week and avocados twice a week and i want to limit it to 3 kinds of fat per week. So avocado and coconut once a week and seeds once a week. Im choosing seeds over nuts because they contain more protein. Avocado doesnt contain too much in the way of carbs and protein but is high in fat and calories, as is the coconut, but they both have super nutrients in them so i still want them in my diet. At the moment it is winter, and im very active so all the fat im eating still gets used up.
I have stopped eating so much fruit too (at last!) Im no longer having it at breakfast and as a snack. I did have nothing first thing..well i will be having a veg juice now, then at 10 il have some greens, then at lunch a salad and then in the evening a juice and my fruit, fat or whatever i choose to eat. so im alot more happy with that because if i have a salad and then fruit, i will immediatly crave fruit and want more and it will drive me mad, whereas if i just have a salad it will satisfy me.

I had a lovely christmas dinner. 3 massive beef tomatos filled with delicious avocado and for dessert i made a chocolate tart which was so rich and filling.

I have been wating to grow my own food for a while now, so im going to look into getting an alotment so i can grow all my veg and salad :D Imagine it
Fresh organic lettuce, tomatos, carrots, beeroot, radish, pepper, courgette, swede, turnip etc etc. :D

anyway im going to leave it there for now.

will keep you updated!

peace out x
