Detox Diary - Day 5

Oatcakes, Oatcakes, Oatcakes!

Ok well I never thought I’d hear myself say this but oatcakes are the food of the future! I carry them in my handbag and whenever I feel a little peckish I have one and I can already feel the hunger drift away. Oatcakes are a slow energy releasing food and at only 46cals per cake you’re laughing. You can even spice things up a bit with some homemade humus or low fat cream cheese if your including dairy in your diet. The naughty cravings for sugar are still there but the best thing is that your appetite disappears.

At this stage I think it’s time to treat myself, so I skipped on down to my local TKMAXX to see what they had to offer to help me feel sexy at the gym. They have an amazing collection of Gaiam yoga mats from only £7.99 in beautiful prints and bright colours as well as top brand gym gear. They also stock some great sports bras for less than half the original price! I was amazed by how far my money stretched, especially as we are all tightening our belts at the moment. So go on, treat yourself because there’s no point in hiding that beautiful new figure!

Ever caught yourself in the mirror mid-winter and thought ‘yuk I’m so white and pasty’? Well I was having one of those days so I put on the some organic, natural face tanner by Chocolate Sun. The all-natural ingredients means that you know what your putting into your skin and leaves you feeling healthy and glowing for days…Just what you need to complement your new healthy lifestyle routine.

Breakfast – Cup of hot fresh ginger tea (grate fresh organic ginger into a mug and pour hot boiling water, leave for 5 mins. If you prefer not to have ginger bits floating around use a tea strainer)

Snack – Homemade humus and celery sticks

Lunch – Roasted red pepper, courgette and aubergine with a raw broccoli and sugar snap pea salad

Dinner – Monkfish and prawn Thai curry with courgette, aubergine and pak choi. Served with brown basmati rice
