 Stay away from sugar, drink this instead of that.Don't eat too much.  Blah blah..... yeah because kale chips taste sooooo much better then potato crisps, keep telling yourself that. Unfortunately some messed up person figured out that all the good food  is bad for your and all the food that taste like um yeahh I don't have to give you details, is good for you. There is some many diets these days, from low-carb to high-carb, protein diet, egg white diet, military diet, do eat diet. How do one keep up with it all ? Well let's take it step by step.. day for day week for week and before you know it, it's summer and you have reached your goal !! But the question is H ow are we going to maintain a healthy and balanced diet ? The answer is quite simple. Find something that works for you, but remember it's a working progress type of thing.Don't expect a six pack tomorrow if you did a six min workout today. You need to be disciplined every day and the results

The story of the omelette... Okay so you have tried cereal, shakes or whatever is in your food cupboard for breakfast. With the hopes that it will keep you full until lunch time, but nothing seems to work.Before you know it, you are walking towards the vending machine and staring that not so lite energy bar in the face Well maybe I have something that can help you with that.The Omelette my dear.It can be the cure for your crumbling tummy. Yeah I know everybody is familiar with the omelette. Some will say it's is to difficult to make, because it flops every time(well don't go and be fancy with your weird recipes, stick with your moms traditional 3 eggs and cheese one  ). So you have watched countless youtube videos and searched "easy omelette" recipes but none of this seems to work for you. Maybe this recipe is the one.. Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients: 6 large eggs 1 handful bacon or ham, cooked 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, leaves 1 handful edam cheese, gratt

Okay so we are kind of over all the chicken salads.So let's try something more fruity... The recipe:  Basically it's any fruit of your choice chopped into small pieces and thrown into a expensive bowl. Easier then that you will not get people. Please don't go overboard like your aunt Shelly and add your homemade vanilla custard. I'm sure it's a winner on it's own, but put it aside for now ( ps. cheat day is around the corner ). Don't let the words FRUIT SALAD fool you (I bet your are thinking  "two healthy words next to each this is the golden ticket "). Remember ! to much of it can be just as bad as nuggets at McDonald's. So pace yourself... Some fruits that taste good together. (Yes, you are reading correct. I named the recipes from my creative side ) 1. Banana lama  3 cups of chopped straberries 1 cup of blueberries 2 bananas, peeled and sliced  1 apple, peeled and chopped  1 teaspoon of organic honey 

#Monday Mindset  Let it all go and just let it be. Unfortunately you can not change the way life goes, but what you can change is your state of mind my dear. Yeah sometimes things get to you and you want to scream into your pillow until you fall asleep ( nobody said you can't ) or maybe you want to switch off all the lights in your apartment and just let the candle give you some light. Okay maybe your half way down the stairs on your way to McDonald's to get yourself a happy meal, because let's face it .This Monday is a bit*h ( the best ones are ). After you have done all these little things to make you feel better, remember this one thing : It's okay to LET IT GO. It's really okay. So what he didn't call or the scale did not show you what you wanted to see. You need to remember you are still learning and nobody came with a manual into this life. Let the scale and the fu*ckboy be motivation to put yourself first. It's okay to love yourself first. yo
