Many of those bars are packed full of sugar, I tend to steer clear of them

the more I pay attention to what I put in my mouth, the more I realize majority of us aren't eating food; we are only eating "food-like" products...

Haven't been here in a while so lemme give a quick chronological update on my food-fitness journey...

- stopped drinking soda, fizzy drinks, juice etc.

- stopped drinking milk

- stopped eating red meat

-stopped eating white meat, eggs and seafood (this was hard)

- stopped eating anything that doesn't grow

-stopped eating anything with more than one ingredient.

It took me 1.5 years to get here, but I'm happy with the progress. It might exteme for most people to stop eating all the food I listed, however, I live in a country where real food is becoming a myth. Everything is processed. Expiration dates on food products are getting extended. Cancer is at an all time high; even if you don't have it in your genes you have a high risk of getting cancer in this country; thanks to the food . It's scary.

So, yh, that's about it.
I'll cut myself some slack anytime I travel out of the country.

naijababe:


How about flaxseed, blueberries and almond blended for breakfast. You can switch the fruits as you please or add poppy seeds. Omelettes are great, add lean chicken cubes, some bacon or fish as the spirit leads .

Lean bolognese sauce can be eaten with sweet potatoes, yams, small rice portions. Swap with chillis - add red kidney beans for a different taste.

Baked moinmoin are great too, very little oil if you wish.

I don't really do diets and I prefer to drink my salad than eat it as you know, the only big change I made to my diet is reduce my carb intake drastically. I did not eat bread and pasta for about 8 months, it was hard o, come see withdrawal symptoms orisirisi but I am over it now. I eat bread very occasionally now and don't bother with pasta at all anymore.

Coco read those labels the sugar content is outta here.. I also used to buy them to snack on even still have like 3 in my desk at work (speaking of which i need to either bin or give out tomorrow). since started paying more attention I realised that's it low calorie but the calories are not the right ones .. So instead of them il started going for plain oats with no milk and whole fruits.(banana summer fruits etc)The sugar content in dried fruits sef na waya.

BABE3:


calcium---- from dark leafy greens, soybeans, nuts, and fruits.

-stopped eating things with more than one ingredients; means I stopped eating anything processed food. If I check the ingredient list and I see more than one name, then it's a "no" for me.
For example, how many ingredients are in sweet potatoes? One!
How many ingredients are in almonds? One!
Basically, whole foods... cave-man style.

I follow these rules 90% of the time though, not always. I give myself room to indulge. When I go to restaurants or a get-together, rules don't really apply. No fizzy drinks, though-- ever!!!

lol @ osisi. She's not here to defend herself.

You want to snack try oatcakes. I often eat with this Canella cheese and salmon. Load up on nuts, make your own flapjacks with peanut butter too

damiso:



I am actually getting used to the taste of oatcakes... minus the cheese though never been a fan of ANY form of cheese both common and posh.

Nuts are my go to snack and I like most of them i.e. almonds, brazil nuts, hazel nuts , pecan etc. I try to limit it to 25g or less a day though.

naijababe:


Not a big cheese fan either. I use Castello cheese specifically.
