I live for snacks, snacks are one of the my favourite parts of the day because they just happen so frequently! I always have a morning, an afternoon snack or two and an evening snack post-dinner if I’m craving something sweet. I’ve wanted to give Primal Snack Boxes a go for a while so I took the plunge come pay day when they had a free Caveman Cookies offer on too. Who can say no to free cookies?
I’m usually an egg and bacon kinda girl but on occasion, when I fancy a sweet breakfast I reach for the oats. Oats are a little powerhouse, low in calories, fat and high in slow releasing carbs. They’re also amazingly versatile. I love porridge when it’s cold and overnight oats during the summer. This is my favourite overnight oats recipe at the moment, it tastes like healthy cookie dough and it’s amazing topped with fruit.
Beach Body + is over and I’m here to tell you basically, whether it’s worth the money or not! Obviously, we all want to look like Lucy Meck, she’s a stunner but she’s also done a hell of a lot of hard work to get to where she is. Beach Body + is the intermediate to advanced plan for if you’re already into the fitness game and just want a little push before a big event i.e a holiday.
Our health is important as it can impact our lives in so many ways. A lot of us actively choose to lead healthy lifestyles; we exercise regularly and eat right. However, when it comes to being healthy, that isn’t always all it takes. Studies have shown that a lot of people who class themselves as ‘healthy’ aren’t as healthy as they think – shock -horror!
Festivals are pretty much one of the best things about summer (shout out to summer holidays too) and if you’re yet to don your finest festival attire – denim shorts, some kind of fringing and wellies obvs – in your lifetime for a weekend of muddy musical mayhem then quite frankly you’re missing out.
As you guys probably know, I’ve been giving Results With Lucy’s new Beach Body plan a try for the past two weeks, I’m half way through the plan now so I’m just giving you a little update! I’m doing the Beach Body+ plan which is the intermediate level.
I’ll admit it, I’ve not done every day on the plan because I’m still doing Crossfit and I’ve been a bit poorly over the past week, but I’ve done a load of the workouts and I’m going to try out some of the recipes that they provide on the meal plan to show you guys what they’re like for my next blog post about RWL. I’ve not followed their ‘meal plan’ at all because I have my own plan that I work out with Luke which involves higher protein macros than in the RWL meal plan. This is just personal preference and because I’m not going into this plan completely blind. I’ve lost weight before, I’ve eaten clean before and I know what I’m doing when it comes to food. This meal plan is amazing if you’re going into RWL as someone who doesn’t already eat healthily.
The fitness revolution is here. There’s no way of avoiding it – from Instagram models flaunting their sculpted curves, to the rise of squats for developing your those booty gains. Even with the increase of women getting themselves in shape and the increased popularity of intense sports like CrossFit and powerlifting, there are still many girls who think lifting weights will make them bulky.
One thing I love about cooking, if you could call these treats cooking, is the fact that you can make something you love a bit more enjoyable by removing the guilt! These Protein Rice Krispy Bites are also completely clean and don’t have any refined sugar or gluten in them. They’re also under 100 calories for a seriously substantial square.
It’s official, I’m starting a new fitness plan next week and I’m 100% hoping it’s going to make me look like Lucy Meck! I’m tackling the 4 week Beach Body plan which says that it’s suitable for beginner-intermediate fitness levels. I like to think I’m quite fit but I always like a new challenge. This is on the run up to my summer holiday so I’ll give you an update in two weeks and then a round-up when it’s all over and I’ll tell you what I think.
Getting fit and healthy is actually ridiculously easy. The only reason people find it hard is because they make it that way. They try to eat 500 calories a day, run for miles morning and night, and live off just spinach and kale. Either that or they try stupid detoxes and find them way too hard. I’m here to tell you the ridiculously easy way to get fit and healthy. Trust me, you’ll like it better!
