Basic Diet Recomendations



I strongly believe that you shouldn’t completely eliminate foods to achieve a healthy diet. Focus on what foods you can include to your diet and try substituting the foods you love, rather than cutting out complete food groups.
When you eat foods rich in nutrients, you’ll be giving your body the nutrition it needs and thus eat less, rather than starving your body of its nutrients and leaving you still hungry
The long-term goal is to feel good, have more energy and reduce the risk of serious illnesses and disease.  Give your body what it really needs and you will eliminate food cravings which are essentially your body telling you it is not getting sufficient nutrients.
Here are some healthy eating principles I try to incorporate into my daily routine, and perhaps with just a few small changes, I hope you can too.


* On rising squeeze ½ lemon in hot water, or I teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar into hot water and drink 
* Drink 2 liters of water daily to replenish and rejuvinate
* Eat protein with every meal and snack either meat or plant based
* Eat foods the way nature intended by always choosing fresh ingredients and try to increase the amount of whole, natural, organic, local, seasonal and unprocessed foods.
* ELIMINATE refined sugars, yes this includes all those things you love soft drinks,lollies, over processed cakes and donuts! 
* Eat organic wherever possible
* Eat organic grass fed meat and keep the fat on
* Avoid caffeine and caffeinated drinks
* Chew your food properly this means taking the time to taste the food and enjoy every bite.
