I&#8217;ve done showing how eating too many starchy grain based carbs can make you bigger, more tired and spotty. Now I am going to show you how eating a clean diet, high in good quality fats, proteins, vegetables and fruit will make you feel energetic, smaller and leaner.<\/p>\n<p>I will also be exercising (additionally to my normal classes) 3 times a week following our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fasttrack-fitcamp.co.uk\">Fit Camp<\/a> sessions for the month. I will be doing those on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Saturday. My target for these 4 weeks is to get into a pair of &#8216;smart&#8217; black trousers. They usually fit fine, they sometimes fit quite loosely, but right now they are snug!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoids<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine<\/li>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Wheat<\/li>\n<li>Processed dairy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What I&#8217;m including<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have found a water filtered decaffeinated coffee which I use. Don&#8217;t use any old decaff, the chemicals used are pretty nasty, water filtered only!<\/li>\n<li>Organic saturated fats for cooking. Yeo Valley or Kerrygold butter, goose fat, organic lard or coconut oil.<\/li>\n<li>Some rice, some potatoes, some oats (but soaked &#8212; and I&#8217;ll go into that later).<\/li>\n<li>Unpasteurised (raw) dairy products. If I can find these I shall be using them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Breakfast today: Butter sauteed sweet potato cubes with spinach and two scrambled eggs. Lots of ground pepper &#8211; all made in one pan.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch: sauteed a half a leek and half an onion in butter, added some spinach and purple sprouting broccoli with small amount of raw hard cheese cubes, served with a grilled mackerel fillet and a pile of grated carrot dressed with lemon juice and salt. Had some blood orange and mango fruit salad.<\/p>\n<p>Post workout nibble: 5 roasted almonds<\/p>\n<p>Dinner: homemade pork burgers, guacamole and stir fired broccoli and onions.<\/p>\n<p>That was me done for the day. Not hungry, no cravings, not even that peckish feeling you get when you think you could eat something. Had a fruit tea after Fit Camp and before bed. Was completely bushed, started to fall asleep on the sofa so was in bed by 10.30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here we go, heading off in the other direction.
