WEEK 2:
So you must have felt like you were going on a bit of a detox by not including sugar, sodas, cakes, chocolates and/or sweets during your first week! Nothing good comes easy but when you start conquering all these bad habits that are so harmful to your body, and your body starts to respond well, you will be determined to continue the challenge.
So lets get onto what we need to add to our list of things to quit.

You have started this week by enjoying a good egg-based breakfast. Let me know how it has filled you up and if you’ve lasted much longer until you’ve needed to eat again. Only eat lunch when you are hungry. Listen to your stomach and not your brain that has been conditioned for too many years. If you must eat, opt for a green salad with a little protein dressed with a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
Tip: Protein portion guide is the size and height of the palm of your hand!
Good luck this week and please feel free to get in touch if you have any queries.
