Watch forks over knives then you will see plenty of reasons to eliminate certain things from the diet!

I totally agree with this ^^^ I am a type 1 diabetic and have been following a hclf plant based diet now also breakfast and lunch raw with a cooked eve meal for 3 months and I'm loving it!! I'm eating way more than I did before and losing weight steadily....I have loads of energy (which helps running around after my…

I started this about 6 weeks ago and am loving it!!!!! Add me as a friend....I need more recipe ideas too! Xx

Check out fullyrawkristina on YouTube she's amazing!! Love her meals!

Wow well done you let me know how u get on! Iv tried replacing coffee with other drinks but it's just not the same! Although it wasn't a problem when I was pregnant with my kids!!

Omg I love her!! Had her zucchini noodles with avocado pesto last night.....soooo good!!!

I have been vegetarian for a while....I am currently training for a half marathon and have decided to lose some weight (5kgs or so) to help improve my running.....I have started eating a lot more raw foods and have cut out dairy (for other health reasons also). I have slowly been going more raw although will usually have a…

This ^^

Ditto!! Love this lifestyle!!! I have been having the odd treat like this weekend it was my 30th so I had a piece of chocolate cake (not the raw/healthy kind!!) and while it tasted good, I felt awful and sooo tired after.....all I'm craving now are fruits and veggies and I love it!! I also have waaaay more energy for my…

I have recently started eating a much more plant based diet....I love the raw til 4 theory! I feel so much more satisfied when I eat mostly raw foods...I really believe it's because my body is getting the nutrients it needs...the weight is falling off and I'm feeling so good! My skin is amazing and my runs (training for a…

I'd suggest reading Kimberly snyder's book....you will prob agree with a lot of her research.....changed my life for the better, not just nutrition wise!!

This!! :-) iv just started eating a lot more fibrous foods and feel so much better....feel full for waaaaay longer, skin is clearing real nicely and I have so much more energy....my runs are a lot easier too! I'm all for eating the "right" things to fuel your body :-)

Stevia is a plant based sweetner...not bad for u at all :-)

awesome, welldone :-)

I was having my "rest day" meaning I didn't have to do an exercise but i dragged the kids out and went for a nice brisk 6km walk (run 5-6 kms 5 days a week)! Poor kids!!

Sounds like you need something to curb those cheat days....I have been eating better for the last couple of weeks (not long I know!!).....chocolate was my biggest downfall before so I have totally cut it out...I couldnt just stick to a couple squares so I decided to not even start!! Now next thing as I like a treat as does…

Chia seeds all the way for me today!! As a type 1 diabetc, diagnosed as a child, I find chia seeds sustaine my sugar levels aswel as my energy and hunger cravings! I put a spoonfull in my water when I go for a run! Looooove them!!!

As a sugar alternative Stevia is great! Its a natural plant based sweetner! Is a little different from sugar and probably not for everyone but I love it!! I use it in my coffee and baking etc!! I am training for a half marathon and generally trying to lose some weight (5-10kgs ideally!!) Have been clean eating for only a…

I haven't read all the posts so someone might have already said this....coconut is fine to use sparingly....it is higher than most other oils in saturated fat however it cooks to a higher temp without converting to trans-fats which are the real bad ones that cause heart disease etc...most other oils get to a certain temp…

Oh that's cool I hadn't heard of the 10% rule before..really good to know :-))

Thanks so much I will def check out the website.... I have just started a strength based routine too so hopefully that will help :-))

Do u like fruit? I make green smoothies most days...if I have everything on hand I'll put in spinach, cos lettuce, carrot, Apple, banana and a squeeze of lemon....u don't taste the spinach, lettuce and carrot....it really just tastes like a yummy fruit smoothie!! May be worth a try!!

I went out for breaky today and chose the healthiest option on the menu!! Museli with natural Greek yoghurt! Usually I will have a green smoothie (spinach, carrot, Apple, banana, sometimes mandarin, sometimes lemon juice, and mo up what ever veggies I have!! Sometimes beetroot! Also chia seeds as I think they are fab!!
