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? 

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 :)

Eating Clean

Hey everyone

So I have decided to write a food blog today rather than beauty, many years battling with my yoyo weight, I thought It was a good idea to write down and organize my eating habits and lifestyle.
So today is day one, And I'm feeling really positive. I have struggled to eat healthy in the past due to my 'fussy eating' but as I have grown older, I have experimented and enjoyed a lot more food, its great to finally have a choice.

For breakfast I had the ever so lovely golden syrup porridge  I feel having a little bit of sweetness to my breakfast, clenches my hunger for the rest of the day, Fully satisfied breakfast and enjoyed every bit of it!
Although not super adventurous, you can't go wrong with porridge.

For lunch I had bought some reduced fat hummus from Tesco, Lobbed it into the microwave for 40 seconds and added pepper. Then had a 1/4 of light choices wrap with it. So tasty, I think this might be my new favorite lunch! whoo hoo!! Has anyone tried the other flavored hummus?

For tea I will indulge in free range home made chicken breast burger with salad, This is such a tasty meal and I plan to eat every meal with a handful of salad.

I think the most important thing for me is to drink lots of water, I never drink enough fluids and always find my self hungry and dry. This is a goal I wish to achieve, so for the next month I'm testing myself with many challenges.

Do you have any challenges or goals for this year? I would love to know !
