I have embarked on my 30-day eating clean challenge! Why that sudden change? This is because my skin is terribly dry, I even have eczema like symptoms on my feet, even though doc said it could just be a bacterial infection. My menstrual cycle is messed up such that it used to only come once every 3 months. So when antibiotics n cream do not help for my feet, I suspect it has something to do with my immunity. Admit it, I only eat 1 serving of fruits n vegetables per day, and I m not drinking enough water. My water intake should be 2.4 liters to 3 liters given my body weight. But somedays I m only drinking 1.5 liters. Thus, when all things external do not help in improving yr symptoms, I have decided to eat clean. By my definition, eating clean means saying no to processed food, fried food. Seasoning n sauces are to be kept as minimum as possible. If sauces are inevitable, these sauces ought to be made from natural ingredients. Thus, I m saying goodbye to my sweet onion sauce which I pair with my subway sandwiches. Wow, so I m also bidding goodbye to fish balls, fish cake, canned tuna, hotdog buns, cakes, waffles, ice-cream. That is a whole
of sacrifice. Haha. I m hopeful that my body will be thankful to me at the end of the day.
Here's a look at my meals today!
Breakfast and dinner are the same: oats with chia seeds, brown rice powder, topped with blueberries
Lunch was at Maki-San which is similar to Subway except that this is sushi rice roll. I had the Mega san ($11.90). My sushi roll was made of brown rice, roasted mushroom, cucumbers, carrots, roasted chicken, avocados. This is wrapped in soy skin, where I had to topped up a dollar for this healthier choice. This is really really filling! I ate it at 230 pm or so n it lasted me till 8pm when I had oats for dinner. It might be a tad pricey, but it is hearty n low in GI which meant that it kept me full longer.
Well, so this is day 1, hope I can survive day 2 when I return to office tomorrow.
