Menu Makeover 3

admin — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 21:48:41 +0000

Breakfast: Porridge made with water, added to it a mix of nuts, raisins, soya beans, sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds

Improve it: I love all the seeds and nuts in this breakfast for a good dose of protein and good fats. Porridge is ok start to the day but I would use only occasionally and make it gluten free too. Try the nuts and seeds with fruit some days and fruit and nuts with organic, live natural yoghurt another day. Try to have three to five different breakfasts and rotate them.

Dinner: 3 ryvitas with tuna and a salad of tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce

Improve it: Tuna is a good choice of protein to help feed muscles and fresh or tinned is fine. Vary the fish that you eat and aim for three portions a week. All ryvita products contain gluten (as sated on their website). I would double the vegetable content and add some good fats like olive oil drizzle with herbs and/or an avocado. I would choose dark green leaves over lettuce

Tea: Sliced beef in gravy, stuffed peppers with couscous, carrots and green beans

Improve it: When it comes to beef we should buy the best money can buy and organic. The quality of the animals food is directly passed onto us. I personally eat a meat free diet but I do not consider meat alternatives to be a healthy option as they are processed. Cous cous contains wheat so could cause bloating, try replacing with a great alternative (looks the same and cooks the same) quinoa. (Keen- wah). No wheat and has a great protein profile. (perfect for vegetarians). Our wow campers eat lots of it with chilies curries etc. you could even stuff the pepper with it!

Carrots and green beans I cannot argue with but the gravy is likely to contain wheat to.

Drinks: Tea. Water

Improve it: I love a good cup of tea myself and try to have decaf when possible. Experiment with other teas like green teas and fruit teas. As for water, I like mine to be mineral or filtered water (a whole other story) and aim for 2 litres a day. I have been seen with various colours of water as i add other products to it, turning the into either a health drink (green) or an energy drink (orange).
