Today's video is what I eat in a day. I'm so excited.
I'm going to be showing you what I typically eat on a day to day basis.
What has helped me get results, stay fit and maintain a lean physique all year.
No restrictions, no counting calories and no fad diets.
You're going to see how much I love food.
Before I make your mouth drool... I'm already drooling thinking about what I'm going to eat for breakfast.
I just wanted to point out that we are all different.
We are all unique. This is what works for my body.
This is what's been working for the last five years.
Of course, this isn't what I eat every single day, because I would get bored.
But this is a good idea of what I would eat in a typical day.
And how much I would eat in a typical day. I'm an intuitive eater.
I like to listen to the signs and signals that my body's giving me, to determine how much I eat.
And what I eat on that particular day. I do not believe in cutting out food groups.
Unless you have to, for medical reasons.
Instead, if you want to, you can replace something with a healthier alternative.
Let's get stuck in. Hopefully you're going come out with some new recipes at the end of this.
Oh my gosh. That is the smoothest avocado, I've ever seen.
You could write your name in it. So good!
This is a typical breakfast. I've got scrambled eggs, avocado on toast and Chia rye bread.
It's so yummy. I'm so excited to try it.
This is a superfood mix that I made a few months ago.
I sprinkle it on top of my food a lot.
Salads, avocados, sometimes on curries, pretty much everything.
It's all the superfoods that you could possibly wish for, in a jar.
Am I allowed to eat yet? I'm going to eat with my hands.
That's one of the best breads that I've had in a while.
Today I'm not working out. I'm not working out for 2 or 3 days, I haven't decided yet.
I'm giving my body a rest.
Being totally honest, I don't know how much I'm going to eat today. I never measure my portions.
I tend to just go with what my body feels it needs.
Because I'm not working out today, I might not eat as much as I would on a day when I'm filming workouts.
When I'm filming for the app and for YouTube.
I'm feeling hungry. My body wants fuel.
So you best believe I'm going to finish this food.
Protein berry smoothie, coconut apricot and blueberry yoghurt and watermelon juice.
Almost every morning I have my mixed greens.
This is pretty much every green that you want in a glass.
You just mix it with water. I'm going to drink that, then make my coffee.
Mushroom coffee... it sounds so random.
It's a ketogenic coffee, which I have been trying for about 10 days.
Teddy, will you stop licking my leg?
With MCT oil. Alex and I love coffee.
This is apparently supposed to help with brain function.
And feeling the effects of coffee for longer.
Have I noticed a difference? I actually have.
I feel like I don't need as many coffees throughout the day.
Typically I would have 2 or 3 coffees a day.
So we are not having as many now.
Oh... I made it wrong. I was suppose to put hot water. You know what? It's so filling!
Lunch is the hardest meal because we are either out of the house, at a meeting or or ordering in because we are filming.
Or it's leftovers from the night before.
It's built into me that I can't cook small amounts.
Even if Alex is out, I will still cook like there are 8 people in the house.
I think it's because I'm from a big Mediterranean family. I'm used to cooking for a lot of people.
We're all used to being in the kitchen together. It's kind of a family thing.
It's pretty much food prep. Whatever I have left over, I put in the fridge and eat it the next day.
This is Lilly's poke bowl.
This is a dry chickpea curry. You can either make it dry or with tinned tomatoes to make it moist.
Mixed Tri-Color quinoa, which I put stock in, to give it a bit more flavour.
Tuna in olive oil, one of my new favorites.
Some of the leftover avocado from breakfast, seaweed crackers, and some salad.
Please do not have this bland.
You've got to put a bit of Mediterranean dressing on it.
Also, this is a new villa! I'm so excited to show you it.
But we're going to show it in another vlog.
I'm kind of turning the garden into a Santorini paradise. That's the goal anyway!
These smell unreal.
Vegan banana bread.
For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you will know that I have these every week.
They are a Lilly classic.
They have cinnamon in it. Cinnamon is anti-inflammatory. Which for those of you who have my cookbook.
Will know that it's all about fighting inflammation. I love them. They are amazing to snack on during the day.
Toasted with a little bit of peanut butter or just toasted with a butter.
Or if you're me, you just stuff it in your mouth.
It's so good. I have 1 to 2 a day, depending on how much exercise I've done.
For dinner, I'm making Cajun salmon.
This is layered up with yummy spices. It took 3 minutes to prep.
Olive oil, lemon juice, Cajun spice, stock, a little bit of herbs and garlic.
Then you pat it on and make it into a parcel.
Then we have tender stem broccoli and kale. Rather than olive oil, I'm using coconut oil.
Just for a different flavor today. A little bit of seasoning and stock.
I normally put chili flakes on, but I ran out of them.
Then this goes in the oven. Total of 5 minutes of prep. The rice is over there.
I want this to be a Balinese chill area. This mirror is the statement piece of the entire area.
I love it. I wanted a mirror like this for so long.
We found it in Wood Culture, here in Dubai.
It was it was actually on sale.
Now I want to build the area around the mirror.
We've got cute baskets. I haven't deiced what to put in it yet.
But I saw them, and I loved them.
The question is, should we go with a square or a round table?
That's how you know the kale is good.
It's so crispy.
smooth like flaky texture of the salmon i can't even begin to tell you how
freaking good that is i hope that has given you a little bit of
insight into what i would eat in a typical ish day as i said i haven't
worked out today so i think i've eaten less
than what i normally would i think i have to be honest
yeah i love my snacks and it's highly likely i'm gonna snack after this in the
next hour while we're down watching a film and just chilling out as i said
guys i love intuitive eating and i think the
reason why i love it so much is because i love
food i love the process of cooking i love eating i love experimenting with
different foods and for me if i was counting calories or on
some type of restrictive diet that would take away from that love and passion
and i really hope that's come across in this vlog obviously
everyone is totally different and i'm not saying what i eat is going to be
right for your body and my style of eating is going to be right for you
however if there's one thing you take away from this what i would
love for it to be is that you do not have to be restricting
you do not have to be going on crazy crash diets to get results
i really really really want you guys to enjoy the journey to love the process
and for me a huge part of the process of living a healthy and happy lifestyle
is what you put in your body your health is your wealth that is
literally what my granny used to say before she passed away recently and it
is so so true your health is your wealth and guys i love you so much you are
You're amazing and I really hope you enjoyed this. Do you want more vlogs?
Let me know. Bye.
I forgot to mention, I have my Mediterranean Cookbook, which is an Anti-Inflammatory and delicious cookbook.
