Getting an Edge With Clean Eating- A Success Story

So here we share one great example of how clean eating can change your life.  I cannot emphasize more the health benefits that you can attain by focusing on what you put in your body and how your fuel it.  Here is a success story from Regina Schideler.  She is an inspiration and testament on how we can change our habits and get huge lifestyle results.  Remember healthy bodies, lead to healthy minds!  Here's her story:

In December I had a blood test done that showed I am allergic to MANY foods I loved and ate on a regular basis (red meat, shellfish, white fish, buffalo, cow's milk, soy, gluten, yeast, corn, etc...). I will not die from eating many of those things, but I do have uncomfortable reactions and wonder how much they were holding me back since no matter what I did, that scale did not BUDGE!  More than anything, that test caused me to start evaluating my eating habits and my need to lose the baby fat from my baby who is now ONE.

I worked out every single morning at 5am, but ate 'normal' food.  Anything from shrimp scampi, burgers, steak or roast 2-3 times per week, potatoes and always a large salad.  I am not a big sugar-eater, so I figured since I did not eat a lot of sugar and have not had a soda in over 12 years, I must be eating just fine!

I started on Feb 14th with very strict clean eating.  I gained my inspiration by googling many blogs from clean eaters, reading all of Tosca Reno's books and her magazines.  The biggest impact came from watching a few movies: Food Inc., Earthlings, and The Future of Food.

I did not tell anyone I was changing my habits, I just did it. There are many people out there with lots of opinions on what you should and should not do with your life.  I did not need a reason to stop doing what I felt was right.

I am 5'8"; WAS 184lbs and I am now 152lbs. I have lost 32lbs so far and my goal is to hit 140-ish in the next couple of months.  I was not very good at keeping track of my inches, but I do know I was fitting in a very tight size 12 (was probably more like a 14 unless it was stretchy) and now fit in my size 8's!  I plan to be in the size 6's that are overwhelming my closet and begging for me to wear them once again before they are out of style!

I now eat mostly vegetarian, borderline vegan.  I use a lot of recipes from the Kind Diet cookbook (Alicia Silverstone) and I am addicted to quinoa, sea vegetables, almond butter, almond milk, squash, couscous and different bean sources for my main proteins.  Occasionally I gobble up a Morningstar burger if I am short on time, but I really try my best to stay away from processed foods or anything that has an ingredient I cannot pronounce.  Vegetables dipped in homemade hummus are a staple food.

Regina is reaping the benefits of healthy lifestyle changes.  Not only is she losing the stubborn weight and becoming healthier as she reaches closer to a healthy goal weight, she also has the energy to enjoy life and keep up with her busy family!  Her story is so like many out there.  It just takes a choice to live life as healthy as possible so you can enjoy yourself and give more to others.

What's your success story?  Remember I am always listening to your successes and challenges along the journey.

The Honest Truth

My family and I were sitting at dinner recently and my four year old daughter asks me, "Mommy.  What's your talent?"  I replied, "I don't know sweetie.  What do you think my talent is?"  Her response, bless her heart, was, "Being in the kitchen making stuff."  My husband and I just looked at each other and started laughing.  Why was this humorous?  Because if you know me well enough, you know I HATE the kitchen and I HATE cooking.

So how can the person who is so passionate about healthy lifestyles and clean eating hate the kitchen?  The truth is, I love to eat, but I really do not enjoy all the prep work and, more importantly, the time it takes to prepare the food and meals.  I am very impatient and when I am hungry, I would just like a meal to magically appear in front of me...  I know, snap out of dream world!

The truth is, because of my passion for promoting and encouraging healthy lifestyles, I CHOOSE to take the time necessary to prepare healthy meals for me and my family.  It does not mean I enjoy it.  I choose to spend Sunday evenings mapping out a plan for the week for my kids' lunches, and dinners for the week.  I choose to do the grocery shopping so that I make sure our kitchen and pantry is packed with clean eats and I am prepared.  I choose to make sure there is not junk readily available for anyone in my family to easily have at arms reach.  If we are out with friends or it is the weekend, it is ok to have a treat, but there is a definite difference between a snack and treat.  I am no different than many of you out there.  I just make a choice to live life as healthy as possible and encourage my family to do the same.  Ultimately, they make their own choices, but I want to make sure they have a solid foundation.

The bottom line is, I make a conscious choice to make sure my family and I will be encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle.  I do not shun or judge on those who are not making those choices.  That is just the way it is in our house.  I will continue to encourage, promote, and support you if you choose to come along on this journey as well.

Remember, it is never too late to make a change.  Live your best life and dare to be remarkable!  I am always listening to your successes and challenges.

Protein Pancakes

Hey clean eaters, or those who aspire to eat clean.  So I am always looking for new recipes that are 1. quick & 2. easy or basic stuff I have in my house to make the dish.  Found this lovely protein pancake recipe that is truly heavenly!  Now if you are a pancake connoisseur and truly love your light and fluffy pancakes, this may not be for you.  I enjoy pancakes every once in awhile and I like to find some great protein alternatives for my breakfast.  This is a great take on a common breakfast delight.  The banana and maple syrup truly make it taste like something I should not be eating!  Hint:  only tip I will give on this recipe is to make pancakes a little thicker.  I double the recipe to make extras and heat up another morning.  Enjoy!
