Today is New Year’s Eve and I finally felt inspired to blog, it has been a minute. One of the most requested questions I receive is What I Eat and to share what I eat every day on Instagram, but the reason I don’t often is because: 1. I don’t want anyone thinking they need to eat exactly like me and become too regimented and 2. because I rarely show every serving I eat, I just snap one photo of the main meal not every plate I have of it so I feel that sharing What I Eat on IG can be misleading and I do not want anyone following me to restrict. I want to use the blog format instead to go more in depth on how much I eat so you can get a holistic picture and include everything I might have in a day which doesn’t always get photographed.
If you follow me you know I eat light to dense (explained more in depth in my REVAMP Ebook) so that is a food philosophy I live by as it makes me feel my very best, gives me energy and keeps me lean year-round.
Morning (8am): I always have 1 – 2 cups of coffee with Elmhurst cashew milk frothed in a Nespresso frother. My husband typically makes my coffee for me and adds cinnamon or pumpkin spice to it, along with either some coconut sugar or maple syrup just depending what we have on hand. I like a latte. I don’t personally believe this breaks your fast, but if I stopped eating at 8pm the night before then I have fasted for 12hours which is my goal.
Lean Green Smoothie (10/10:30am): I always have my LGS as the first “meal” of the day and bring it with me to work if needed. I won’t go into detail on it because if you follow me you know I talk non-stop about my LGS but it seriously is life changing and one of the biggest changes I implemented into my daily routine that has changed my health, skin, weight and everything in between. To learn more about it check out the Revamp Ebook as I go into detail on WHY this smoothie is such a game changer.
(11am – 1pm) If I get hungry after the smoothie but before lunch I eat fruit – unlimited until I am full. For me this typically means a banana or two, but any fruit of choice works and I do not limit how much I have. In the New Year I may switch this up and do more mixed fruit (berries, etc) just to change things up.
Lunch (1pm): I like to make my lunches filling so I’m not needing to snack again within an hour. My lunches vary, but typical ones I enjoy are:
Large Kale Vegan Caesar (dressing from my Recipes Ebook) with lots of hemp seeds and a full avocado which both keep you feeling satiated along with the dressing as its base is hummus. Sometimes I will bake a sweet potato in advance and cube it to add to the salad as well.
No Tuna Salad recipe from my ebook over a salad, on a gluten free wrap or bread or I like the Deland Bakery Millet Bagels with avocado & tomato with capers.
My DIY Acai Bowl from the RECIPES Ebook – I put my No Oil granola on top plus more fruit and coconut flakes to add protein and make it more satiating of a meal. Sometimes I pair the Acai bowl with my Mango Salsa Cups to make a larger meal for lunch.
(Lunch – Dinner) If I’m hungry after lunch and between dinner I like apples, rice cakes (brown rice, no salt added) with avocado smashed or peanut butter & honey, veggies with hummus, rice crackers with olive tapenade, or a GoMacro Bar or Larabar if I’m at work. I also might do a second LGS or other smoothie if I am at home and want something light.
Dinner (7:30pm): I share all of my dinners on my IG to provide inspiration but we love: soups, large salads with No Oil Fries, Chickpea Curry, Zucchini Lasagna with Ricotta “Cheese”, Mac-less Cheese sauce over rice noodles, Marinated Tofu Salad, Mushroom & Pepper Tacos, the list goes on. I save the highest calorically dense meals like these for dinner as my body has many hours to digest everything while we sleep. Also, I eat multiple portions of my dinners not just a small bowl and/or pair many meals with a side salad. This isn’t always pictured and I want to be clear that I do not restrict, but eat in abundance until I feel comfortably full.
After Dinner: I might have tea around 8ish and if I am craving something sweet we may have a few Date Bites. These aren’t something I have every night, they are a treat I have maybe once a week. By eating fruit throughout the day I find you don’t crave sweets as much at night. Also, by eating a filling dinner you will most likely be full and not needing more food before bed.
That is my detailed What I Eat in a typical day, I hope this answers any questions you have and provides a look into my day better than a few images on insta. I have an exciting announcement launching tomorrow, so be sure to check my Instagram and also join the REVAMP Challenge for the New Year for a healthier 2021! You can get all the details on the Challenge on my latest podcast episode and on my IG there is a post dedicated to it. xx, Elizabeth
