EAT JUNK FEEL RUBBISH

When you were little, did your parents ever tell you that if you ate lots of carrots you’d see in the dark? Or how about that time she warned you that if you swallowed an apple seed, an apple tree would start to grow inside of you? See, she told you from the start, don’t say she didn’t warn you! You literally are what you eat.

Jokes aside, the term, ‘You are what you eat’ has got something to do with the foods and drinks you fuel your body with, having a direct effect on your health. Seemingly, if you nourish your body with healthy and wholesome foods, you will feel nourished and fresh in yourself. If you consume greasy junk food, you will feel exactly like that- junk.

You are what you eat? Well in that case the more sugar you have, the sweeter you are. Rumour has it that if you eat a hot chocolate every night before bedtime, you will wake up one day resembling a marshmallow itself. But wait, it doesn’t stop there. If you eat your vegetables, your skin will eventually turn green. This is why we need to limit our intake of certain foods in order to avoid this from happening. I mean let’s be realistic, who wants to resemble a green marshmallow? Not me.

Do you ever wake up feeling like the kale salad you ate the night before? I thought not. But I bet you do you wakeup feeling like the stodgy doughnut you shamefully ate after a few glasses of rose? Or how about that feeling of when your belly is the size of the cake you wolfed for breakfast? To prevent this feeling from happening, all we have to do is think before we eat and our bodies may thank us in the future. But for now, a pack of chocolate digestives and a cup of tea it is, as diets don’t count on the weekend apparently.

EAT LIKE ME

THINK LIKE ME A discovered treasure reveals the secret behind Einstein’s brains.

Generations later, the diary of Einstein has been found. Modern physicists were sorting through old files when the diary was discovered. In his journal, Einstein uncovers the intelligence behind his discoveries. Einstein refers to ‘brain food’- specific foods which aid with intelligence, “People often ask me how I think like I do” he adds, “The answer, eat like I do and you will see”. The German-born theoretical physiciste claims that eating oily fish everyday helps maintain his intellect. “It’s the rich source of omega-3 which oily fish has, that makes it very good for the brain.” his diary suggests. Further writings share, “The brain is approximately 80% water, so it is important for us to drink lots of fluids for it to function the correct way”. Gone are the days of eight glasses a day, Einstein writes, “I drink 3 liters of water everyday to make sure none of my intelligence is drained out of my body”. “People often ask how I come up with this great ideas, I believe this is all thanks to my breakfast, eggs and walnuts”. “The sooner everyone begins to ‘eating smart’, the better.” Now we know Einstein’s top secret, will we begin to incorporate these foods into our diets, aiding in the rise of new discoveries? We will have to wait and see, but in the meantime, get eating those eggs and nuts.

clean eating

Dear Diary, 02/06/15 Cooked myself a healthy breakfast this morning, as it is the most important meal of the day after all. Well according to that magazine I read the other day, it said it would keep me fuller for longer, bonus! So hopefully that will stop me snacking on those cupcakes Tracey brings into work for ‘Treat Tuesdays’. I’m sure she does it to make others fatter, that’s why she’s so slim. So anyway, the healthy breakfast I threw together was poached eggs on wholegrain toast with a side of kale and avocado- I’m getting right into this clean eating malarkey. Actually come to think of it, that wholegrain toast contains gluten and gluten is bad for your intestinal health, I know this because I read it on a foodie forum the other day before body pump. Ah well, I just won’t eat any gluten anymore because I don’t want to get bloated do I. Oh and those eggs I had, they had yolks in them, aren’t yolks fatty? Won’t that make my cholesterol really high? Come to think of it, maybe my breakfast wasn’t so healthy. Never mind, it’s all right though because I did have 2 of my 5 a day by eating the kale and avocado, so that makes up for it I guess. Damn, the packaging doesn’t say they were organic! What have I done, my insides are going to be drowning with pesticides. That’s it; I’m never eating again.

15/06/15 This clean eating lifestyle just isn’t for me. How can somebody live off vegetables and meat? Pass me the chocolate- I’m starving and a woman’s got to eat. Talking about food, you know what I could eat? A big fat slice of double chocolate cake oozing with melted chocolate fudge. Oh, with ice cream, and maybe a little drizzle of cream, mmm and a bit chocolate sauce. May as well. I have been really good this week though. I’ve eaten really healthy since Monday and now it’s Wednesday- that’s three whole days, I deserve a treat! Come to think of it, I guess I’m allowed to eat a small slither of that carrot cake grandma Doreen baked this morning, right? I mean it does contain carrots... Yeah, that’s what I’ll do; I’ll have a little piece jut to satisfy my cravings. A little bit of what you fancy won’t hurt. Well that cake was certainly a good shout if I do say so my self, although I do feel a bit guilty now. Maybe I shouldn’t have had any cake, I’m such a pig! Oh well, I’ll just go for a quick run tomorrow morning before work to make up for it and I’ll be feeling back to normal before no time. But then again, I have already ruined my diet; I may as well just have another slice and start again on Monday. Ugh, I wish I didn’t have such a big sweet tooth, stupid clean eating!

CLEAN EATING

RUMOUR HAS EAT

22/06/15 All I can think about is cream cakes, sugary doughnuts and melt in the mouth chocolate éclairs from the minute I wake up; to the minute I go to sleep. I just want each day to end as soon as possible to prevent me from eating all these delicious indulgent foods. That of which are clearly good for me, well, my soul anyway. Even when I go shopping, I have to close my eyes in order to get through the dreadful isles to stop me from filling my trolley with salty tortilla chips and dip. Don’t you think it’s strange how the more you deprive yourself of flavorsome delicious foods, the more you crave them? Like who wants to eat chicken that’s as dry as concrete anyway? Not to mention broccoli that’s blander than Maria from Human Resources. When I say bland, that’s not an understatement, I mean bland. You know what else is strange? When people say “money can’t buy happiness”, Money buys food and food makes me happy. I bet you’ve never heard anybody say that cheesecake makes them unhappy? To me it’s a phrase that just doesn’t make sense. The words cheesecake and unhappy just don’t fit in a sentence together and should never be said. On that note, I’m off for a slice of cheesecake.

carbs are the enemy

KILLER CARBS OUT TO DESTROY.

Attention, there are reports of a dangerous species known as ‘carbs’ out to kill. Nutritionists are advising humans to stay well away from these monstrosities and protect yourselves immediately when contact is made.

warned, they cause serious bloating, making your stomach appear larger than normal. Furthermore they may also cause feelings of hunger and type two diabetes. Paleo experts are advising all humans to be aware and avoid them at all costs for a better way of living. However with carbs so pervasive they are exceedingly hard to resist, making it extremely challenging.

Nutrition experts say that these carbs can appear in two different forms, wholegrain and white and it is these simple white carbs, which are dangerous. White carbs have been stripped from almost all of their nutrients and fiber, often bleached with toxic chlorine dioxide, making them vicious. Due to the huge impact of disruption white carbohydrates have on human’s blood glucose levels, contact time with them should be restricted at all costs.

Mum Claire Little, of Newcastle, spotted carbs whilst doing her weekly food shop in Waitrose earlier this week. She said: “It was a scary experience; they were surrounding me in every isle! I tried to avoid them but I couldn’t help myself, I was drawn to them.” A witness at the scene expressed: “I was tempted by their irresistible appearance and the smell of fresh bakes was over whelming.” She adds, “I left my trolley and ran out of the shop as that was the only way to stop myself.”

This malicious species may deceive you and appear in many forms such as pasta, bread and rice. These carbs have distinctive affects on different humans, causing feelings of serious guilt upon many human beings.

Paleo specialists are doing all they can to help society escape from these starchy beings and aim to succeed in producing a carb-free world.

Carbs may tempt and lure you in with high feelings of high energy levels but be

EAT PROTEIN TO GET LEAN.

Ever wondered how all those ‘beasts’ in the gym get their massive guns and indestructible abs? The secret? Protein and lots of it. Annabel meets up with gym rat Ersk Watts to get the low down…

Q. It’s quite obvious that you go to the gym, but how often do you go?

Q. What is an example of your diet plan on a usual day?

Every day, if not twice a day. You don’t have to do much when you’re there anyway. If you enter the weights room at the gym, you’ll see men sat checking their phones. If they’re not checking their phones, they’re checking themselves out in the mirror for 10 minutes between each round of exercise. The reason behind this is because you don’t need much weight training to gain muscle, it’s all about that protein.

I have 6 meals throughout the day. As soon as I wake up I have 7 egg whites and 3 chicken breasts, then after the gym I have a protein shake, 1am I have tuna, rice and egg whites, 2pm I have 2 chicken breasts, sweet potato and veg, 5pm I have another can of tuna with a cup of almonds then at 8pm before bed I have a tub of cottage cheese mixed with protein and another protein shake. Q. How many grams of protein should you consume?

Q. What tips would you give people who are wanting to build muscle?

All of them. If there’s any protein in sight, eat it.

A good diet. You’ve got to eat a whole lot of protein! Think 5 whole chickens, a dozen of eggs, 1kg of shakes and 250g of almonds. It’s why Popeye’s so big, all of that protein packed spinach!

Q. So would you say protein is one of the main reasons you have managed to obtain muscles like you have? I wouldn’t say it’s one of the main reasons, I’d say it’s the only reason I have them. If I could tell anyone wanting to gain muscle, I would say stock up on that chicken.

Q. Would you say protein shakes are important? I think whey protein needs to be the first food supplement on your shopping list. It’s one of the highest sources of protein you can consume and if you want arms like these, I suggest you go get some right away.
