Healthy living with keto muffins

 


Where do you start, what do you take and what do you leave behind … these days there is so many diets. No wonder people get confused, for instance you have the keto one (basically an undercover banting diet) then you have the military diet, one egg for breakfast, one toast for lunch and an apple for dinner, does not that just sound filling to you. Just to clear the air, I am no professional. I am just someone that wants to share the things that worked and did not work for me and give some advice on my own personal experience. You are more then welcome to share your thoughts on this platform.

Now ladies, ladies  

The first thing we need to talk about is “the start” and with that I mean when are we going to start, this Monday or next week Monday? you see for me personally the first week on a diet is really a breeze. It is new recipes you get to try, you feel more energized and you overall just loving the new you, for the first week. After the first week BAM WHAM!!  it slams you out of nowhere, you start to miss you late night snack before bed, people invite you for dinners and braai’s and the first thing you think is “a braaibroodjie is not part of my diet” so you start to cancel plans with family and friends, for the simple reason – you do not want to fall of the wagon. Unfortunately, no let me rephrase that fortunately we are human beings that need interaction with our people. Honestly, what is better than some friends around a braai with a glass of wine in the hand, good music in the background and good food. You know food is one of the things that brings people together. So, my point I am trying to make is …we simply need to find a balance, a certain lifestyle, some sort of a great plan that support our health and our wine glass (what is a workday if you are not ending it off with a good glass of wine). Again, remember that is something works for me, it may not work for you. We are all unique individuals, but this is a platform where we can help each other and share our ideas.

With all this talking about food it made me in the mood for a good cup of tea and a muffin (healthy muffin) with only 1.7g carbs per muffin !! it is like a dream come true in diet land

Hello my beautiful friends, Topic of the day: Dieting ( nobody got time for that) and I'm not talking about the food diet. Today we are going to be discussing the holy grail of all holy grails: dieting. Summer is around the corner and we all want that toned summer body, we only have a couple of months left so what are we going to do ? Starve ourselves, sleep in the gym so that we don't waste our  precious time on other things, when we could be working on our booty. What if I told you that you are living in a fantasy if you think that's how your going to achieve your goal, your starved body with that fine ass is going to stay with you after summer. Ladies ladies and gents, let's get our heads together (like we all very well know we are capable of ). You only have one body, just one my friend. Remember that your body can not be exchanged with botox and diets in return for that desired body. NO!! stop it. Listen to your body and I mean really listen to your body. We...

Quarintine

Okay, I think we can all agree that banana bread should be banned from shelves. Why? you may ask. If you have not been baking banana bread for the last couple of weeks or even months. The real question you should ask yourself is: Have you even been quarantining? because banana bread is all over the internet Susan. You get the original banana recipe then you get the banana and strawberry recipe ( I know, I know. Let's blame quartine for that one ) then you get the pecan and oatmeal ( actually not bad). The point I'm trying to make is that there are enough banana bread recipes to keep you busy.  Maybe it's not just the banana bread that went a little too far this year. Did we forget the fitness people who could not handle the no jogging period in quarantine, so instead they took the option B, they ran a marathon on a 7meter balcony, and then there are some of us that can't even look at our gym clothes without crying. Yes, I understand not all of us can be crazy about fitn...
