Here I am weeks away from finishing Grad School. I'm late in finishing since my life got turned upside down but now that I am back on my feet (well sorta of) I have been aiming to eat clean. By eat clean I mean eating natural foods, foods that haven't been processed. It's not always simple to stay on task with simple foods. I love it though! I'm not dieting or stressing myself out, I am just focusing on putting healthy foods into my body. It all started when I put on a documentary on Netflix to take a nap, which led to a second documentary (Fat, sick and nearly dead) which led to a juicer. The juicer has been an interesting phenomenon. I remember when I did the sugar detox and how so many people thought I was crazy, I was expecting the same reaction now (although I haven't fasted, but I'd like to at some point) but so many people either loved the idea or started doing it as well or had been doing it already. I've had my juicer for over a week now and I love it. I have at least one juice a day and I love the way it makes me feel.
I have more energy, less cravings and my skin is breaking out a lot less. You know those days that you just want to eat everything? Well even then I got full so much faster and couldn't finish a burrito. (I can ALWAYS finish a burrito, even if it's 4 am) So I've been enjoying the benefits, as well as the convenience. At night I'll make my dinner juice and my morning juice. So when I get up to be at work at 7 am my breakfast is ready! BONUS!
Eating more fruits and vegetables feels natural to me and I've been loving it. I don't like restrictive diets but I don't feel restricted at all. I've been eating all I want, just been trying to choose the right foods.
I made a couple great recipes this week that I'll share. Oatmeal crackers and Raspberry Chia seeds jam. Both amazing and both really easy to make.
Oh, and also I made homemade doggy treats so Kiwi benefited from my eating clean plan! :)
Here are the recipes I mentioned in my last post.
