I have 3 simple rules that I personally follow and that I also expect my clients to follow. If you can’t pronounce what’s in it, you shouldn’t be eating it and if it's not grown by the earth or raised on the land then avoid it at all costs because it's made by humans!
Day after day you may be consuming large amounts of processed foods that include artificial sweeteners, pesticides, trans –fats, refined grains, the list goes on. All of these things can have an alarming effect on your body. Making you feel sluggish, depressed, weakening your immune system, which can contribute to regular colds, gaining weight and generally damaging your health and wellbeing.
Is this you? If so ask yourself a question, why am I doing it to myself? You are worth so much more! Make a decision to look and feel amazing by choosing natural, nutritional foods.
Get yourself into your kitchen and start clearing out those cupboards, I’m sure there’s some nasty’s in there full of processed junk. Look out for anything including refined grains, white rice, white pasta, white bread. Have you ever read what goes into white bread or cakes or any types of foods that sit on the shelves in your supermarket for days? How does it last so long? This also includes diet sodas that most people have hanging around in the fridge. These drinks are just as bad as drinking regular sodas; they are full of artificial sweeteners which are toxic to your body. Just like the foods that you are eating, all you are doing is consuming synthetic produce in liquid form. All of these foods and drinks are lacking in nutrients so they serve zero purpose to you.
I imagine you’re saying if I can’t have those types of food & drink, then what can I have? Well my friend, here’s an idea but the list is endless! Whole foods – brown rice, brown pasta, wholegrain bread (anything with ‘wholegrain’ is packed with nutrients and fiber), vegetables either fresh or frozen & a variety of fruits (go for produce that’s in season). Basically anything that is grown naturally and isn’t processed. As much as possible try to buy organic produce as you know that it hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides which I’ll mention again is toxic to your body! Organic also tastes far nicer. Get your hands on organic fruit, vegetables, dairy, meats etc, you get the idea.
Try cutting out the ‘rubbish’ from your diet and I can guarantee within 2 weeks you will be a far healthier you and start to look and feel amazing. After all, aren’t YOU worth it?
Bon appetite!
Stay fit, keep focused and feel fabulous!

Very useful and practical tips.Sometimes is better to avoid going into the kitchen if the ""need" for a snack is taking over me.I find that its a lot better to call a friend and have a good old gossip,which will make me feel a lot better than a chocolate bar.
