Thanks for stopping by! I want to take a minute to tell you about my latest FREE Challenge. As you know by now…if you have been reading my blog at all, I love nutrition and clean eating. Because I love it so much, I decided to create my very own 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge, just like so many others have done. I'm not an expert in nutrition, but I have spent a lot of time learning how to create healthy meal plans, prepping my meals for the week, and losing weight because of it. So, I feel qualified to be able to create my own plan!!
First, I started by looking up some of my all-time favorite recipes on Pinterest. I LOVE Pinterest! It is literally where I get every single recipe and idea for anything I make! I have healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner boards, healthy snacks, clean eating, nutrition, smoothies, and on and on and on. Did I mention that I love pinning!! Also, now would be a good time to insert my Pinterest Profile if you are interesting and seeing all of those great healthy boards. CLICK HERE to find me on Pinterest.
Second, I took all of my favorite recipes and loaded them into MyFitnessPal to check on the ratio of Carbs to Fats to Proteins to make sure everything was in the right percentage for losing weight. I also kept the calories low, around 1350-1450 in order to jumpstart weightloss. I do not recommend staying at this low of a calorie range for a long time, but as I said before it's a great way to lose up to 7 pounds in a week.
Third, I tested it out on a good friend, and she ended up feeling great by the end of the challenge and losing 7 pounds.
Lastly, I opened it up to the public in my private FB group, in which I had about 65 people join and take the challenge. The results were wonderful! Lots of people lost weight, felt better, but best of all it has started so many of them on their journey to a healthier lifestyle. Many were surprised that healthy food could even taste that good. One of my biggest passions is making healthy food actually taste good to people who do not normally like healthy food.
Here are a few quick testimonials from the group:
"I didn't weigh myself beforehand ; no scale, and didn't think of it while I was at Publix. I, surprisingly, haven't had any cravings since we started, and I am one of those people that usually eat a dessert every day! So I'm hoping the cravings stay away. Coworkers have envied my meals as much as they would normally want a pizza or slice of cake someone would be eating. So that's nice. Maybe I can help spread the nutrition!"
"I weighed myself at the beginning of the challenge and lost 4.2 pounds, which makes me excited. I could have lost more had I exercised during the week. Busy week at school - testing and interrupted classes. Not fun! That's no excuse really. The food was delicious and simple to prepare. I loved the idea of prepping ahead of time. I am certainly going to continue eating more healthy. I found out that I really don't need all those carbs and my body stopped craving them after a few days. Thanks, Nat."
"So far 6 pounds and I've already prepared 5 kale smoothies,3 mango smoothies and 3 spinach salads for the week"
"thank you so much for all the work you have done for this challenge. I was very nervous about it and honestly did not think I could go a whole week without sugar! I love to exercise but have really wanted to be more intentional about eating healthy. I have lost 4 pounds but better then that you have started me on a journey to eat healthier and given me the motivation to make healthier choices when it comes to my eating habits. You also helped me face my fear of vegetables in my breakfast smoothies. Thank you!!"
" I definitely had more energy this week and was only hungry at meal time. Favorite meals: cabbage rolls, kale/banana smoothie & spinach/blueberry/feta salad! Least favorite probably cabbage wraps-not a fan of raw cabbage!. All in all, a great week. Definitely motivated for more clean eating!!"
