Juice Detox Day 3

Finally on my third day of a liquid diet, I have learnt how to control my hunger and temptations woohooo!

Although I would love to have a slice of pizza, I am defiantly sticking to eating healthy after this detox, it has gave me that little boost as I can see great results within the 3 days, I even want to carry this on for an extra 2. This morning I had a early breakfast as I was heading out, so decided to make a juice based on what I had left over from the past 2 days. 

                                                         Recipe 1 | Breakfast : Fruit Juice

                                                                   1 Cup of strawberries

                                                                             1 kiwi

                                                                           1 banana

                                                                     Handful of spinach

                                                          2 scoops of 0% fat natural yogurt 

                                                                Half cup of orange juice 

This was actually very tasty, not as filling as the previous juices but I could have drank more than a pint!

For lunch I had the same soup as yesterday: 

Recipe 2 | Lunch : Curry Vegetable Soup

1 Onion

1 Sweet Potato

1 Carrot 

Handful of peas 

1 Yellow chili 

1 Red chili 

Tsp Ginger 

4 Cloves Of Garlic 

Fennel

Curry Powder 

Basil 

3 cherry tomatoes

Salt / Pepper

So far I have lost 5 pounds in weight & feel more energetic than usual. My mood has been slightly down but I suppose it's down to not having much food ;) I am defiantly going to stick to having juices for breakfast, I feel less bloated and better within myself. This is such a great detox too do and I will be doing this at least once a month!

Has anybody tried this detox? How is it going for you? 

Juice Detox Day 2

Today is my second day of juicing and fasting. So far I feel great, not as hungry as I usually am and I feel completely less bloated than usual. I am loving this detox so far, Maybe this is the one I have been searching for my whole life. 

I had a late breakfast this morning, decided to make a juice with a concoction of fruit I had left. I fancied something a little different, something more tasty. 

Recipe 1 | Breakfast : Fruit Juice

1 Cup of strawberries 

1 Kiwi

1 Small banana

1 Mango

Hand full of spinach 

Half glass of orange juice 

This has to be my favourite one so far. The fruit works very well together creating a glass of goodness! For Lunch I decided on another soup. I really fancied a soup again, something different but just as filling as the last one. 

Recipe 2 | Lunch : Curry Vegetable Soup

1 Onion

1 Sweet Potato

1 Carrot 

Handful of peas 

1 Yellow chili 

1 Red chili 

Tsp Ginger 

4 Cloves Of Garlic 

Fennel

Curry Powder 

Basil 

3 cherry tomatoes

Boil & Simmer for 30 Minutes and blend away.

Loose the weight | Juice Detox Day 1

Lately I have been on a super big health kick, after trying numerous diets in the past I have hardly settled on one that has worked for me.
This week my boyfriend recommended the juice detox diet, He was starting it himself so I thought I would give it ago and join him, even though my will power is dreadful. This diet contains various fruit & Vegetable juices and fat free soups so basically a liquid diet.

So Today is Day 1 for me. I begun having a pint of water with lemon and a juice for breakfast. Up to now I don't feel hungry and feel quite satisfied. I am not an expert on diets or nutrition but for me, so far so good.

Recipe 1 | Breakfast : Fruit Juice
1 cup of strawberries
1 cup of pineapple
1 peach
Half Cucumber

Blend all into a blender and serve with ice. This is such a tasty juice and very filling.

Recipe 2 | Lunch : Spicy Vegetable soup
1 Carrot
half sweet potato
half onion
1 red chili ( including seeds)
2 full garlic cloves
1 celery
2 red peppers
1 fat free stock cube
tsp ginger | tsp chili sauce
basil leaves / salt / pepper
pinch sugar
tsp fat free tomato purée

Boil & Simmer for 30 Minutes and blend away.

So far this is all I have ate today, On this detox I would advise to still drink as much water as possible, can't give up the goodness!
Has anyone tried the juicing/liquid detox diet? How did you find it?

Eating clean day 2! - Positive thoughts

Hey everyone

So day 2 of eating clean and I'm feeling more positive than ever.

For breakfast I had 2 pieces of wholemeal toast and low fat butter with a light fried egg. I was going to poach my egg but I resulted to quickness tutut! I really fancied a bowl of fruit with yogurt but I need to do some shopping :(

For lunch again I'm having Low fat hummus and 1/4 home made garlic bread made again with low fat butter. Not so healthy but this clenches my hunger for the rest of the day so I feel more full, and its so tasty!

For tea I'm having fish, Usually I have chicken as I only eat white meat but I'm finding that I am becoming so bored with it! Fancy something exciting and yes fish is exciting to me ha ha , something I never have but desperately need in my diet. With this I'm having a fist full of new potatoes along with some salad, Yum!!

I have had 2 glasses of water, Not enough i suppose but its a start!

Anybody else eating clean, How you all getting on? Id love to know :)
