TOP TIPS FOR THIS WEEK

-PORTION CONTROL, To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume, which inevitably means one thing portion control.

But you're not necessarily doomed to a growling stomach until you reach your goal.

Portion control doesn't mean you have to eat tiny portions of everything

Here's what can also help .....

-DRINK WATER, drink a big glass of water before each meal sometimes you feel hungry when actually your body is simply thirsty.

-VEGGIES FILLER, Bulking up your meals with veggies is one easy way to cut calories while filling you up fast. Spinach, for example, can be used as a sandwich-topper or can add fiber and nutrients to pasta and stir-fry, other ideas to eat more veggies swap in mushrooms for half the ground meat in most recipes, make porridge more filling with diced apples, and use a whole wheat pita in place of bread so you can stuff it with more veggies! Always works for me 🙋🏽

-MAKE CARBS THE TOPPER INSTEAD OF THE BASE, rethink the way you use grains and starches. Take a breakfast for instance instead of starting with a muesli base, fill your cup with yogurt and then sprinkle just a tiny amount of muesli on top for the crunch you crave. Making a stir-fry load up your plate with veggies and a serving of lean protein, then add a quarter cup of brown rice.

-WORK FOR YOUR FOOD, try to make the time to have to work for your food especially when snacking. Snack on pistachio nuts and oranges that you have to peal. Just a few healthy options.

-LIMIT MEAL TIME DISTRACTIONS, this will help your body to register that you have eaten, studies have shown that sitting in from of the TV while eating your meal is not letting your brain register that you have just eaten. Take time to appreciate every bit and taste everything you eat

Integrating detox smoothies or juicing into your normal diet can have tremendous health benefits. You can enjoy smoothies for weight loss, as a natural cleanse, to keep you hydrated, keep your bowels regular, and many more benefits. Try experimenting with different recipes until you find the ones you really like and will drink often.

There are so many benefits to get tis large amount of fresh nutrients into your body in a convenient way on a DAILY BASIS. The impact it can have on so many ‘illnesses’ or ‘dis-ease’ is HUGE.

If you haven’t yet watched 'The Superjuice Me Experiment’, please take some time to watch it asap. You will not believe your eyes when you see what happened to the people involved and the power of juicing. TBF I found juicing on a daily basis far too time consuming with a young family and busy life BUT IF I HAD A SERIOUS ILLNESS I would make the time of course!!

I found smoothies much easier and also if you really get stuck you can buy a whole host of COLD PRESSED JUICES WITH NO ADDITIVES from a lot of the supermarkets now.

My partner is a nutritionist (both clinical and sports), so we’ve worked on developing a programme that is going to be easy and give you all the benefits. I’m really looking forwards to sharing the programme and some more recipes with you later :)

EVERYTHING! I think it's safe to say that everyone knows it's good for your hair and skin and can be really effective on burns, psoriasis and eczema.

BUT DID YOU KNOW Coconut oil can actually help you burn fat? It helps to increase your metabolic rate and is useful in fighting abdominal obesity especially in women.

Good for fighting heart disease.
Strengthens the immune system.

Fantastic for digestion. It has antimicrobial properties and can help fight bacteria, parasites, fungi causing indigestion.

Good for your teeth. Not only to help whiten them (search oil pulling) but also helps the absorption of calcium.

Very useful against Candida.

I 'borrowed' this from the other half. ;) A 3 day bikini or skinny dress detox for beating the bloat after a zillion eater eggs. I found this to be a really powerful kickstart. I'm determined to get back in shape. If you would like to try the FREE RECIPE, I'd love to share it with you. Please PM me with your email address.

Ermmm!! I don't want to do the maths on my eggs 🐣🤣

3 Day Beat the Belly Bloat! This is the recipe I stole from the other half 😂 she uses it as a bikini or skinny dress detox. Nothing better for preparing you for C9.

It may not look much buts it's packed full of goodies and protein. Try having this for brekkie or a replacement for one meal a day. Eat nothing else but healthy food. That means nothing processed in anyway and see if you can cut down tea and coffee (got a tip for that later!).

PM me if you would like the recipe!

I've done a few cleanses or detoxes, which ever you prefer to call them. The second one I ever did was the best, because I was prepared. I lost a substantial amount which really gave me a boost and inspired me to keep going. Having a tough and busy few months I've let things slip but I AM COMMITTED and prepared.

It's difficult to avoid temptation of foods I need to avoid with small children about, so I'm stealing the other halfs 3 day cleanse to do Pre C9. I love it and I'll share it with you all tomorrow 👍🥗
