Ever wondered what a health coach eats, do we sip on green juices all day and munch on a salad, do we never have cravings? is our food boring? do we stay away from certain foods?
Part of this is true, we do eat a lot of greens, and I mean A LOT! but we have our own cravings like everyone else, we do delicious foods and we get creative, and sometimes we want pizza and cake with no hidden kale.
Here is a sample day of mine
I was craving a warm starchy thing to eat for dinner on a cold wintery night, with the days getting shorter one always craves more comforting food, and I believe you can enjoy that without sacrificing your health, I stick to whole natural ingredients in everything even my desserts.
