My challenge is to eat healthy but still affordable and not spend the whole day in the kitchen preparing my meals. And to still enjoy it.
This healthy lifestyle will be banting with a twist.
With any healthy lifestyle you get sick because your body needs to get rid of all the toxins and is not use to all the health food.
The most important thing to remember is you need to drink enough fluids and get some extra salt during the first week, otherwise you will feel like you getting flu.
Breakfast will be nice and simple today
Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs
Scrambled eggs with full cream milk
Packet of Bacon
Avo
Lunch: Tuna salad
Tuna in water
Cherry tomatoes
And some home made mayonnaise
Lettuce
Paprika, salt and pepper to taste
Homemade mayonnaise is from Tim Noakes diet.
Ingredients
1 whole egg.
2 egg yolks.
1 tbsp Dijon mustard.
1 tbsp lemon juice.
½ cup of coconut oil.
½ cup olive oil.
1 tbsp greek yogurt.
¼ tsp of salt & pepper.
Preparation
Combine the eggs, mustard & lemon juice in a food processor
Melt the coconut oil just until it liquifies
Slowly pour the coconut & olive oil into the mixture in the food processor whilst increasing the processor’s speed
Once the mayo mixture has emulsified add the Greek yogurt, salt & pepper – actually you can add your own choice of seasoning & flavour combinations depending on your own taste preferences.
Pour the mayo into a jar and keep refrigerated
Your Banting mayo should be used within a week as it won’t keep for much longer than that.
