Abs are made in the kitchen

From January 2013 I made drastic changes to my diet, my diet wasn't awful, I was just a little un- educated about healthy eating and what actually is healthy. After lots of research I discovered CLEAN EATING and the best thing is it isn't a strict diet or meal plan, its is just eating things in their most natural state.

Clean eating for me is now my way of life, I am super strict Monday to Friday and then on Saturday I have a treat day where I can eat whatever i like! Sometimes I end up taking it to extreme levels eating way too much and ending up in agony on a Saturday evening.. I wouldn't advise this!!

Here is my typical diet;

Breakfast;

Quakers oats porridge with semi skimmed milk, tspn honey and sprinkle of cinnamon      OR

Blueberry pancakes (I have posted the recipe on my blog)

Lunch

2 poached eggs with 2 slices lean bacon, 1 avocado

Tuna salad

Spinach and mushroom omelette

Homemade soup

Dinner

Chicken, sweet potato wedges and roasted veg

Salmon, brown rice and veg

Chill con carne (made the clean way, no jars!!) with brown rice

Stir fry

Use spices to make your chicken a bit more exciting.

Snacks- I have usually about 2 or 3 snacks a day

Fruits

Greek yoghurt, apple and honey

Oatcakes with homous

Rice cakes with Philadelphia light and cucumber or tspn peanut butter

Berrie and banana smoothie

2 Hard boiled eggs

Protein shake

I stay away from bread and processed sugar during the week, but at the weekend there is nothing nicer than a piece of hot white toast covered in jam!
