In this video, I'm going to be showing you what I eat in a day for results.
When I'm training hard towards my goals. The last two days have been brutal.
It's because I had a couple of days off from training and now I'm back and working out.
I'm filming for the new app. I'm filming for the weekly guides.
And I'm filming for Instagram. I've been filming for 2 or 3 hours a day.
I am hungry. Please bear in mind, this is what works for my body.
Because I'm training a lot at the moment. You already know that I'm an intuitive eater.
If my body is telling me that it needs food, I'm going to honor that.
I'm going to nourish my body and make sure that I enjoy the process.
I hope this gives you an idea of how much I eat, what I eat and why I eat it.
Today i'll be having a little bit more protein than I usually have, because my muscles need it for repair.
Also carbs, I love carbs, which you will see in a minute.
I have these Vegan Banana Pancakes once a week.
This is a really similar recipe to my banana bread recipe in my cookbook.
There is just a small modification. There is no cinnamon in here.
What I love about these, is that you can add whatever you want.
For Alex, it's always maple syrup.
I tend to have a mix. Mixed berries, agave syrup and a sweet super-food mix.
Realistically, I'm not going to eat all of this. I will eat around 3 pancakes.
Snack on them throughout the day.
I keep getting asking, what type of diet I eat. Whether I'm pescatarian, vegan or vegetarian.
I have tried a vegan diet before.
I stopped eating meat, nearly 20 years ago.
I cut out all meat, and almost all dairy at at that time.
Since then, I reintroduced fish into my diet. So I am now pescaterian.
I barely eat any dairy. I don't really like dairy.
For example, with a cappuccino, I wouldn't have cow's milk. I always have nut milk.
I can't cut out halloumi. I am Cypriot, there is no way I'm giving up halloumi.
I'm going to be filming four workouts today. Two for YouTube and two for the app.
My food's now digested, and i'm ready to go.
To be honest, halfway through the filming I'm probably going to want more food.
I have just finished one full body fat burn, which was 20 minutes.
Then I did a Pilates session, full body, and that was a finisher for the app.
It was just 10 minutes of abs, but for those of you who have done my intense ab burners, you will know what I'm talking about.
No breaks, 30 seconds on each exercise and it got to a point where my abs were literally shaking!
I'm so hungry.
I'm going to go downstairs and have lunch and snacks.
All right, lunch. Can you see me? Let me just practice the squat.
I look like one of those Russian dancers.
This is leftovers, from last night's dinner, which is tuna pasta bake.
It is one of our favorites. It smells so good!
This was all eaten by Alex and I last night. I need a lot of carbs.
Especially when I'm filming, I need the energy. There is protein in there from the tuna.
I'm going to do it with a salad. That was supposed to be neat and beautiful, but let's just be real.
Load it up with some salad. Baby Spinach, rocket and cherry tomatoes.
I'm going to eat this, do some emails then I have a live workout.
I'm probably going to have some snacks, then I go live at 8:30 p.m.
I know it's really late, but I'm ahead of a lot of you in Europe and the United States, so that's a time that works for you.
If it works for you, then I do it.
These are my famous Lilly Chickpea burgers.
These are on my website. I've also got an epic version of them which is quinoa and black bean.
They are amazing and vegan. They are in my cookbook.
Load them up. We've got our toasted burger bun.
You can put halloumi cheese, but this is optional.
Then put a little bit of avocado.
Then I've gone with a mango chutney tonight.
Normally we have it with a tomato relish, but there was none left.
Look at that.
As a side, we have some baked broccoli.
I can't put it into words. That is one of my best meals ever.
i'm finally gonna be hopefully able to say what i want to say because i just
gave teddy a little bit of broccoli i hope that's okay i hope that gave you a
little bit of an idea of what i eat on a normal day
when i'm training hard which i'm obviously doing at the moment things
are pretty full-on at the moment with the app launching pretty soon i'm
training a lot obviously i'm filming for you guys and i'm doing the lives as well
so i'm making sure that i'm nourishing my body
in the way that i know it needs and also i'm just enjoying it
like i've said to you guys before my worst nightmare is to be counting
anything or to be restricting anything like that's just not the way i like to
live life and to live a healthy and happy
lifestyle but that's what works for me that's kind of how i want to finish this
vlog this is by no means how you should be eating this is what works for my body
the one thing that i will say over and over and over again
is listen to your body if your body is telling you that it needs fuel
it's telling you it needs fuel and please please listen to it you'll notice
that i ate a lot of carbohydrates and a lot of protein today but to be honest
all food groups but obviously the protein and the carbohydrates are for
energy and to make sure that i'm recovering my muscles as much as
possible because i'm going to be filming again
tomorrow but i do have two full days rest this week guys before any of you
are freaking out that i'm over training again i'm listening to my body and
making sure that i'm getting the rest i need
oh yeah i know a few of you are probably going to be like what was that curry
looking drink that was a turmeric latte so i'm trying to introduce more of the
anti-inflammatory foods again turmeric is one of them so i'm having a
turmeric latte a day and i'll keep you posted on how it goes
and hopefully i will be glowy very soon like twilight speaking of
which i'm about to put twilight on now okay guys
i love you so much we may well be at a million this week and
bye guys
