5 days ago. Of course. I'm not into advocating for any type of diet, but the recipes are sugar-free, dairy-free, and the only grains are quinoa (which is actually a pseudo-grain and the only complete protein in the plant world) so really the plan is also grain-free. I might add a gluten-free rolled oatmeal breakfast from time to time, but mainly we are looking at seasonal meals with tons of veggies, dark leafy greens, and other anti-inflammatory foods.
Make homemade popsicles. Homemade popsicles are an excellent way to stay hydrated as well as stay cool during the summer heat. They can be made just like a smoothie and then poured into a popsicle mold and frozen overnight. Another healthy and refreshing way to make popsicles is to fill up the mold halfway with water and the other half with 100% fruit juice (not fruit cocktail or any other juice "blend." These have additional sugars that will not aid in weight loss). Freeze overnight.
The concept of eating until you are 80% full, not 100%" is something you will hear often if you travel in Asian countries. This particular eating habit originated in China and is now practiced in many other Asian countries as well. It is an extremely effective mantra for losing weight and staying in shape. Basically, it says that you should never eat until you are 100% completely full, as this can lead to problems with digestion and cause weight gain. If you are the type of person who tends to eat until you can't take another bite, it may be time to take a step back and start eating a bit less.
