That is also why our main aim is to nourish our body with the right balance of macronutrients (carbs, fats, protein) and ensure a high amount of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This is the correct way to true weight loss or building muscle!

What is My Regular Daily Eating Routine?
I eliminated most processed foods more than a decade ago, and have been enjoying the results. When I am on my guilt-free plan, I feel happier and have fewer headaches and runny nose. These days my diet is 80% “eggs, meat, Greek yogurt and veg, and my day is structured as follows:
7am – wake up, drink my bulletproof turmeric latte and/or coffee as breakfast to kick start my brain and prolong the fast while on a 12-hour intermittent fasting.
11am – For brunch usually I have half a slice of homemade wholemeal bread, rocket and one or two boiled eggs. If I’m in a hurry I opt for 3 tablespoons of Greek Yogurt, and a handful of berries and sprinkle some almond or coconut flour on top.
1pm – A light lunch such as tuna bean salad or chicken avocado salad. On most days I make ahead an extra portion from dinner to eat for lunch like a salmon thai curry patty with a side of brown rice and steamed broccoli.
3pm – While I prepare lunch, I also prepare either an easy blueberry smoothie, 3-ingredient healthy banana pudding or hummus with veggie sticks. If I’m not home, I nibble an apple with some nuts and yogurt or prepare a Meal Replacement Shake.
6-7pm – In the evening usually I opt for a dish with lean protein salmon curry with goji berries and bulgur wheat, salads in Summer and soups, stews and curries on cooler days.
8pm – eat a small snack with yogurt & berries, nuts, etc (300 – 500 calories)

Meal Prepping and Make Ahead Meals
Never cooked before? If you’re not used to cooking start now. Learning to cook is the best thing you can do to your health. These recipes besides are very simple to follow with few basic ingredients.
Another important thing is to follow the recipes using the proper quantities. Don’t try to reduce any fats thinking you’ll lose weight faster or because your doctor told you to control your cholesterol levels. Skipping the almonds, walnuts, yogurt, or olive oil or using too much of them is going to make the meal unbalanced.
Meal Planning for Weight Loss
We suggest that when choosing your healthy breakfast and snacks, you should try to vary the meals as much as possible. If you’re trying to lose weight then my advice is to limit higher carbs snacks such as pancakes, cacao almond balls, and power granola to once or twice per week until you reach your goal. The same applies to Lunches or Dinners where it would be better to prefer zoodles, quinoa, bulgur wheat, or sweet potato to pasta or rice. Recipes using wraps or Pita Bread should be limited to once or twice per week.
Skipping meals so that you can then eat wraps and pasta doesn’t work as unless you’re on Intermittent Fasting it’s best to eat smaller balanced meals throughout the day leaving 2-4 hours between every snack or meal.
