Healthy Living || Food Plan

For those of you who don't know I appeared on this morning 13 weeks ago with the beautiful Lisa Riley, Lisa has lost over 10 stone in something ridiculous like 16 months and looks like a different person! She is a complete inspiration to me and is the person I think of when I think about eating anything of plan.

Lisa has released an incredible booked called the Honesty Diet and it is totally BRILLIANT! The thing is, Lisa knows what it's like to have to shift some pounds and is totally honest and straight talking!

Here's some tips I have learnt along the way

Plan Ahead

The weeks that I sit down on a Sunday and look through healthy recipes are the weeks that I eat the best, I try my hardest not to eat on the run anymore, it just DOES NOT work. I will sit and look through Lisa's book, make a shopping list and head to Aldi (other supermarkets are available!) It really makes all the difference and means that I don't have to think to much day to day.

Mix It Up

I love Lisa's book, but I have also really enjoyed finding other healthy recipes on Instagram and via other means. I love Results With Lucy her recipes are easy to follow, healthy and totally delicious! The Body coach is also good, but be careful with some of his recipes if you aren't working out a lot. His plan is a mix if HIIT and higher calorie food.

Be Honest!

This is where this whole journey starts, being honest with yourself about what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat it. Think about portion control and if you go of plan, own it and get back on the wagon ASAP.

Here is a typical food day for me;

Breakfast

Something egg based, normally 2 hard boiled eggs when I get to work, smashed avocado is also good with some eggs and balsamic vinegar.

Mid-Morning

Some grapes or raspberries or a pear

Lunch

Some sort of salad with a large amount of protein, chicken, tuna, salmon. Protein keeps you so much fuller for longer and is a saving grace!

Dinner

Some kind of fish and vegetables, sometimes with a sweet potato or some halloumi if I need a treat.

I tend not to eat fruit after 2pm and if I can I will have my biggest meal at lunch time.
