STOCKING THE PANTRY FOR A PH BALANCED LIFE :heart: If you're interested in living a more pH balanced life (alkalising your body and reducing the level of harmful acids) then this is what your pantry would benefit from containing: FRESH PRODUCE: * Ginger * Onions * Chilli peppers * Limes * Sun-dried tomatoes * Broccoli *…

Today began with another Green Goddess juice (recipe above). I never tire of this juice because it packs in everything and tastes great. Also, after a while your body starts to crave it! I then did an hour of Hatha Yoga for strength training before lunch which was a warming, mildly spiced soup. Be sure to keep flushing…

To everyone: Feel free to add me - i've been on MFP just 2 weeks and would love to have lots of UK pals. :)

HEALTHY SNACKS Being on a diet doesn’t mean your foods have to be bland or boring! Sometimes during the day, you need a pick-me-up snack. These snack ideas are more on the creative side while still being healthy! And remember: everything in moderation. * Pitta bread and hummus topped with feta cheese and chopped olives *…

LUNCH or DINNER option: Popeye Soup, which can be eaten cold or slightly warmed (dont cook otherwise the nutrients and enzymes will be less effective). Basically, puree the following, then warm gently or eat cold. Simples. :smile: Red bell pepper 1 Cucumber 1 Garlic clove 2 Lime 1 Spinach 1 handful Avocado 1 Vegetable…

I have the same fear. The last few lbs are the hardest to shift but i went for a 5.4km run earlier and have been reading lots of books about nutrition and find i'm not putting in enough food to fuel my daily activities let alone the exercise on top. I've watched a lot of the Biggest Loser programs and it's interesting to…

Ooooh, those cookies sound fantastic! Will definitely be giving them a go. Thanks for sharing! :smile:

WHY GREEN JUICES ARE GOOD FOR YOU Like the Earth on which we live, our bodies are 70% water (and our blood 94%). Adding freshly squeezed lime juice to water alkalises it, which then helps neutralise stored acid wastes, eventually removing them from the body. I personally drink 2-3 jugs a day with herbal teas thrown in for…

:smile: I have a bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar next to my bedside so when i wake up i drink a small shot with water so that by the time i have breakfast an hour later it's worked its magic in my gut. It's a bit tangy but it helps wake me up!

This morning i began the day with freshly squeezed lime juice in a big glass of water. Limes (contrary to sensible thought) actually have an alkalising effect in the body so are great for you and taste amazing. I then followed up with my favourite juice: GREEN GODDESS JUICE Having looked far and wide for a great green…

Hi all, It'll be great to share meal ideas on the Recipes post and to keep an eye on each other's diaries. I think having eyes on mine will stop me from 'cheating' so feel free to friend request me - it's great to have mutual support. :) I've got 8 weeks to slim down for my little brother's wedding(!) so I'll be posting…

Half a Cucumber Juice of 1 Lime Half Romaine Lettuce 1 Pink Lady Apple Half cup of pure Coconut Water (vita coco is a good brand) 3 handfuls of Spinach 3 Celery Stalks 2 handfuls kale…

The frozen banana slices were a major success this evening! I took them out of the freezer and allowed them to defrost just a little bit. They had the texture and taste of banana ice cream without the added sugar, cream and preservatives! Just found my post-meal sweet treat if i ever need a fix whilst cosying up on the…

As part of the smoothie challenge the group said peeling, slicing and freezing bananas up is a great way to keep them fresh, have a ready supply, break down the starches within banana and give a great consistency to a fruit smoothie. I chopped up 6 bananas earlier and laid them out in a tray. Will try some in the morning…

I managed to snap out of snacking on chocolates and sweets during work hours (cant say the same for evenings right now!) a long time ago and dont want to return to such bad habits. Recently i started keeping tiny tupperware pots in my handbag with almonds and hazelnuts in (you only need 5 of each nut). They're the…
