Eating healthy is a choice not a diet, educate yourself. In modern day and time, we have become highly aware of the things that are beneficial for us. The food industry has grown quite tremendously and there have been new discoveries in terms of ingredients that are full of antioxidants, nutrients, minerals, and essential vitamins.
The superfood wave is one no one can forget and enabled many people to elevate their eating habits and improve their daily lifestyle. Now, as someone that has been dealing with PCOS since the last decade, it becomes quite difficult for me to manage my routine and weight if I don’t consume an all organic and natural meal. Struggling with my health has been one of the biggest battles that I have gone through. From using unconventional methods to lose weight, to starving myself until I became sick, it has truly been a challenge. What I did learn during this time was not to deprive the body of essential nutrients such as protein, fats, carbs, or minerals otherwise it is bound to have a reverse reaction.
The best solution I derived to maintain my health was to start prepping my meals. Eating clean does not mean you are on a ‘DIET’. It just means you value your health more than anything and that is something to be appreciated for sure.
Here is a breakdown of my day which includes what I eat for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner!
