Plant Power
We have been in lockdown for 46 days which seems bizarre, time seems to have gone very fast but also seems to have stood still!
What’s that all about?
Feedback about the Seven Lemons Challenges has been so fantastic, thanks for all the feedback and you are all doing brilliantly.
Morning routines are non negotiable to set the day right so keep squeezing your lemons, dumping your thoughts, and upping your fibre in your first meal of the day!
This week the challenge is all about PLANT POWER.
A week to make vegetables the star of the show and not the sidekick.
Irrespective of your preference for a vegan, veggie or carnivore way of eating this is a lovely challenge and our bodies will be kicking ass after a seven day veggie fest!
Has anybody else noticed how their mood changes depending on the food they eat?
Low mood from too much cake?
Lethargy after fish and chips?
Energised after a super salad - you see where we are going with this!
A plant focussed way of eating can be very energising and hormonally balancing because fruits and vegetables are nutrient dense which means they have an abundance of vitamins, minerals, fibre and carbohydrate proteins. Our bodies love them because they are ‘real’ and recognisable.
No ingredients list needed on the side of a carrot!
So this week let's say no to the extra portion of sticky white rice or chips and take the greens instead!
Time to reframe when we plan our meals.
If you are thinking ‘what can I eat with my chicken, fish or tofu?’, try thinking ‘what shall we have with roasted veggies and broccoli’
Let the plants crowd out your plate and add the protein as a delicious extra.
Eating more plants means we get loaded with essential nutrients which means that we fire on all cylinders and release our super powers!
This week look out for inspirational ways to enjoy the power of plants on the Seven Lemons Tribe facebook page and also on Instagram.
