Happy Friday All. Hope you have had a great week of training/moving well, eating nourishing meals and getting to bed at a reasonable hour each night.
Firstly a reminder about the Peak Walk tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 0800 meeting at Tauroa Carpark. This invite is open to anyone and everyone. The year of moving more – we are encouraging everyone in our Community, whether you are signed up with us or not, to move more. The first walk begins tomorrow so bring yourself, family, friends… whoever. Rain or shine, I will see you there.
Now, a very common statement we get is “I don’t know what to eat”. There are so many different diets, recommendations, fads, however it comes down to a very simple formula you can not go wrong with.
Each meal (including breakfast), should contain the following three
1. PROTEIN – eg. meat, fish, eggs …
2. GOOD FATS – eg. coconut oil/cream/milk, nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil/olives …
3. VEGETABLES – ideally in the form of green vegetables, however go for a range of colourful veg.
If your plate has something from each food group above, you have a complete meal. Just play around with the portion sizes of each to find what suits YOUR individual needs. This may change depending on how much exercise you have done, time of the month for the ladies, how much sleep you have had….
An example of what we had for lunch yesterday:
Organic preservative free salami (protein), with melted cheese (fats), mustard, avocado (fats), tomatoes (vege), olives (fats), sauerkraut (vege), shitake mushrooms (vege).
A meal could be as simple as a large leafy green salad, drizzled in lots of olive oil, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum etc, served with steak/chicken/fish/boiled eggs.
Have a play with the formula and see how you feel after your meal.
