I am going to share my daily diary with you. You can follow it or adjust it accordingly. I try to eat in this way for around 28 days but be warned it is a big challenge. The benefits are amazing and you will not feel hungry. The main sticking point is addictions to certain foods. Caffeine and sugar are powerful and your body will initially feel shocked to have them removed from the diet. Try to hang in there and remember it is only 28 days.

Shopping list

It is important to get prepared in advance. Do a food shop just for you and always have food readily available as you do not want to feel hungry. This is no diet!

Lets shop

Brown rice

Sweet potatoes

Ryvetas

Tins of tomatoes (loads)

Chilli beans, butter beans, aduki beans any beans (get them in tins to save soaking boiling etc)

Porridge oats

Rice milk

Loads of vegetables frozen or fresh especially Brocolli & cauliflower makes a great curry

Loads of fruit fresh, frozen or tinned but if tinned not in a syrup, get it in a fruit juice.

Peanut butter

Nuts

Seeds

Rye bread

Mushrooms, onions, garlic, chilli powder, curry powder and any other herbs and spices. These will flavour your food and make it taste delicious.

Make a big batch of rice up and keep it in the fridge to heat up as and when you need it.

Lunch

Bake/microwave two sweet potatoes and drizzle a bit of olive oil on it when its cooked. Serve it with any salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, beetroot, shredded carrot. Lavish your plate dont have a small portion. If you are not full eat some more.

Ask yourself a question?

Am I hungry right now or am I having a craving

Sugar and fat are addictive as are salt and alcohol they will make you crave them but take control.

Snacks

Toast some rye bread and mash a banana on it, be full not hungry. (Limit bananas to 1 every other day)

Dinner

Fry some onions, garlic and chilli in a pan and add some tinned tomatoes, peppers and tinned beans. Spice it, taste it and make it your own. It doesnt matter if you eat loads, you are eating right.

Snacks

Evening is snack time so have a few nuts and raisins or a ryveta with peanut butter. Drink lots or water, herb teas or fruit juices.

Breakfast

Prepare a bowl of fruit. I had half a punnet of raspberries, a bannana sliced and two small apples sliced. You can use any fruit, tinned, fresh or frozen just eat a lot

Herbal tea or hot water with lemon

Lunch

Stir fry some mushrooms and onions in a pan and add a good portion of frozen peas. Add a big portion of brown rice that you have previously boiled and heat through.

You can also buy tilda ready made brown rice which microwaves in 2 mins so no excuse for fast food. rice satisfies and fills you for longer. Look how fast the weight drops of in Im a celebrity get me outta here. They only eat rice and beans!

Dinner

Peel carrots, parsnips, onions, sweet potatoe, sweetcorn and boil it up in vegetable stock. add spices of your choice (chilli,fennel,thyme etc) Make a chunky stew or blend as a soup and serve with some toasted rye bread or ryvetas. Eat the whole pan if you are hungry no need to skimp, your hunger will subside.

Snack on crunchy carrots, apples, pears

bear in mind your cravings are normal and they will go away.

Make sure you are taking your supplements like kelp, Milk thistle etc

Continue with veggie curries, stir fries, salads etc they are really nice and so filling. Eat whenever you get  a hunger pang not a craving.
