Friday. Best day to start anything new, and to make changes.
Your resolve is firm, and honestly if you can do one full
weekend incorporating your changes, you’ve got it made baby!
Do physical activity both weekend days,(ease into it,
but do get puffy and a little sweat going), eat a great breakfast both weekend
days. Eat super healthy lunches and smaller portion nutritious dinners, and
you will hit the ground running for that next week.
1. reduce portion/plate sizes
(white carbs have a high-glycemic carbohydrate content. A
High GI tells your body to increase the release of the hormone insulin. Insulin delivers the fuel from food to the
muscles and will store it as adipose (fat) if it not burned /used up in
moderate to high physical activity.
3. anything and everything dairy needs to be changed to
‘low’ to ‘no fat’
(kids after the age of
four years do not require full cream milk or dairy products)
4. Drink water. NOT
fizzy, not juice, not milk. (tea and coffee is okay - don’t make your coffee on milk)
5. Increase your fibre intake.
Do this and your heart will love you, your brain will love
you, your kidneys will love you, and your gastrointestinal tract will most especially
love you. (that’s your poop maker)
Be better than you were yesterday x

Love it Leesa. Can you please give some examples of meal ideas and also snacks. I get bored easily and need to change it up a bit or I get naughty.
Thanks Danielle x Breakfast should have some great carbs as you have just fasted all night and will need to reload, and if your still hungry have a boiled egg or poached egg as well.
For Lunch I always have raw vege (stir fry or raw coleslaw packs in woolies) some protein tins tuna or salmon, bit of mashed in avocado with some crunchy asian noodles.
If hungry at the dreaded 3pm, listen to your body does it want salty or does it want sweet. If its sweet get some yummy Christmas fruit into you. For me its usually salty, so I'll have a big drink of water, a coffee, and a tin of salmon. Shaun and I both also love the vita wheat multigrain crackers and have tuna, avo and tomatoe slices on those maybe a sprinkle of parmesan. Three of those with a cuppa hits the spot before the early evening circus begins! I also sometimes have an egg white only (4 eggs) 'scramble' with a bit of cheese and 1/2 tomato. Egg white is the most perfect protein on earth.
Does that help?
Thanks hon, my breakfast is always good, but lunch and afternoon tea are my struggle times. Thanks for the tips. I have been craving eggs big time lately and having 2 every few days with salad for lunch. I did have a funny tasting one the other day though so I think they will be off the menu for a bit. I like your ideas for afternoons, I was trying (but failing) to eat as little as possible, but having a mini meal is just what I need to get me through.
Thanks again
