Christmas is such a great time of year for celebrating all things good with your loved ones.
Whether you're a full on clean, organic eater or just an individual interested in good wholesome eating, there comes a point where the extra Christmas celebrations catch up with you and can leave you feeling rather blah.
Too much refined carbohydrate foods and drinks including alcohol keep the body wanting more and more.  Actually never really feeling satisfied.  This is inevitable as it's the way the body is designed.  Eat refined carbohydrates, blood sugars rise, then blood sugars drop, then we require more.  Not a good recipe for health, disease management or weight loss.
So what can you do to break this vicious cycle?? 
Eat foods that switch off the hunger hormones in your brain, and leave you feeling satisfied and full.  Once you have this feeling, you will no longer crave sugary, carbohydrate foods or drinks and the vicious cycle is broken.  Yay!
Here's a few things you can eat that will turn off the hunger hormones in your brain.  Try some protein rich foods with some added good healthy fats to end the addiction.
  • Start the day with a good quality Vegan Protein Smoothie using Nut Milk, some organic fruit and some buzzed up avocado.
  • Enjoy an organic salad for lunch which is detoxing with the added antioxidants of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon Juice Dressing.  Throw in some wild caught salmon and a good sprinkling of seeds to keep you full all day long.
  • Choose a good free range or organic protein for your dinner and mix it up in a delicious stir fry with lots of Asian greens.  Garlic, ginger, lemon grass etc are all fantastic for cleansing.
  • Finally eat lots of fermented foods.  They will help to re-balance your body's PH levels to help keep your hunger under control.
Obtaining the support of a qualified Nutritionist can also be very helpful to guide and support you, while also supplying you with an array of suitable recipes.
If you like some friendly and non invasive help on getting off the sugar addiction you can book a phone consultation or become a member.  Lots of recipes included!!
