  • I'm not sure what your diet looks like now but this video really resonated with me and I always share if with friends considering surgery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAdqLB6bTuQ Reducing foods that are high in macro nutrients (meat, dairy, processed carbs) and replacing them with foods high in micro nutrients will…

  • Today I had a piece of toast with Avocado, lime and some salt with a little mango on the side. If I want something warm this is one of my FAVORITE options: http://ohsheglows.com/2013/09/15/jumbo-chickpea-pancake-a-high-protein-filling-vegan-breakfast-or-lunch/ Super filling. You can pretty much add whatever veggies you…
