A Day in the Life of My Diet

I’ve received a number of questions over the past few weeks regarding diets, how often should you eat, how much, and what are the best foods for fat loss?

Maybe you’re one of the people who was kind enough to email me?... If so, this is for you.

I thought the best way to approach this is to give you an example of what I would eat over one day.

Breakfast
Oatmeal – ½ cup
Fat free milk – ½ cup
(cooked)
1 tsp acacia honey
Blueberries – ½ cup

1 Whole egg
2 Egg whites
(scrambled)

Snack 1
4 Celery sticks (with)
2 tsp organic natural peanut butter

Lunch
Free range organic chicken breast
(portion size equal to my palm)
Baby spinach (1 cup)
Plum tomato’s (½ cup)
½ Avocado

Homemade dressing for salad
½ squeezed lemon
½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
Sprinkle of ground black pepper
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Mix together & drizzle over the salad

Snack 2
1 organic apple
12 raw almonds

Dinner
Organic salmon – bake in oven
(portion size equal to my palm)
½ Roasted pepper
½ Roasted courgette (zucchini)
Sprinkle of roasted red onion & garlic
Steamed broccoli

Drinks (throughout the day)
4 cups green tea
3L water

Eating this way keeps my blood sugar stable throughout the day and controls any bad cravings. It also keeps my metabolism working at top speed, which as we all know is the key to fat burning!...

As you already know I always opt for natural wholesome foods and whenever I can, I go for organic.

I hope this has answered your questions and remember,
