I really think I have this clean eating thing down. Every day it is increasingly easier and effortless to eat clean. I have not had any cravings for any sort of processed food at all which to me indicates that am getting everything my body needs from clean eating. I must confess that it is very difficult for me to drink what I think is enough water over the weekends. It is much easier to drink water when am sitting at work than when am running around doing things. I don’t feel water deficient though - but I know that I didn’t drink as much water as I usually do on weekdays. Am not really sure how to solve that bit - am not even sure that I should be solving that bit. If my body is not asking for water, why should I give it?
I had breakfast at 10 am of Spelt Pancakes. These are just my favorite ever - If I had time to make them during weekdays I would!
Lunch
I had lunch at about 2:30 pm of leftover spaghetti and ground beef. The spelt spaghetti has a cinnamony sweetness taste, which hubby brought to my attention. Yummie!
Afternoon Snack
Got hungry at 5 pm so I had an apple and a tsp of peanut butter.
Dinner
Savored the last bit of the leftovers at about 6:30 pm!
Evening Snack
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 tsp of ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp of ground sunflower seeds
- 2 tsp of honey
- 1/3 cup of frozen fruit
- 1 lettuce leaf
- 1/2 apple
Perhaps it’s time to up the ante once this one is done and experiment with cutting out certain foods including other words.
Example: Have you ever wondered what your body would do if you went a week without starch? I wonder, post -detox would my body feel better/worse.
But I agree, we can pretty much classify the clean eating as an ongoing success now.
