The Lifestyle

Once you have completed 1-3 weeks of the Cleanse Phase, you can then move onto the Lifestyle, which includes a much broader range of foods. We at HH say that you don’t have to eat perfectly ALL the time, but knowing how to eat in balance is the key.
There is nothing better than home-cooked food - this is the only way to ensure that you know that what you putting in your mouth is fresh, and not adulterated with additives, sweeteners and preservatives.

The use of herbs and spices is not just for flavour - each has it’s own medicinal and healing properties, and we show you just how potent these can be. Whether its ginger root or powder to stimulate, or chamomile to relax, turmeric to boost immunity or chilli peppers to stimulate metabolism, these tasty accompaniments all have a role to play in your health.

In the Lifestyle, we encourage you to plan your day around when you eat rather than the o ther way round! This will enhance your productivity, whether at home or work. Research has shown that moving away from your desk to focus on your midday meal for at least half-an-hour will more than double your productivity.

Eating for exercise is another key point in The Lifestyle. It is no co-incidence that the CEO’s of both small and large businesses are the primary high-level exercisers, so we at HH encourage you to bring regular exercise into your daily life to encourage the release of endorphins and increase serotonin production that helps improve mood.

Managing stress levels through eating the appropriate wholesome and nourishing foods is far better than eating poorly or drinking excessively, both of which only serve
to depress you further. At HH we run by the mantra: and alcohol your current eating regime is!  However, if you are diabetic, or taking prescription medication for any reason at all, please consult your doctor or health specialist before embarking on The Cleanse.

ALKALISKA-DIETEN


GÅ NER I VIKT MED ALKALISKA-DIETEN

Stilikoner som Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Kirsten Dunst och Victoria Beckham avslöjar nu deras senaste metod för att hålla sig i form. Kändiskvinnorna har hoppat på många bantningskurer under årens lopp och nu är den alkaliska dieten som gäller.
- Jag älskar den här hälsosamma kosten, skriver Beckham på Twitter.

Det började med Atkins-dieten 2004, South Beach-dieten 2007, Dukan-dieten 2011 och nu är det den alkaliska dieten som hyllas av Hollywoodeliten. Målet med dieten är att uppnå den optimala pH-balansen i kroppen med rätt kost som i sin tur medför viktminskning, men även ett mer balanserat inre.

En alkalisk kost innebär livsmedel rikt på vitaminer och mineraler; frukt, grönt, fullkorn, groddar, spenat, nötter, avokado, fisk, sojaprodukter, kokosvatten, naturliga sötningsmedel som Stevia och oliv- och linolja. Viktigt är att även få i sig rikligt med vatten.
Mejeriprodukter, kött och spannmål bör undvikas helt. Dessa produkter är syrabildande livsmedel som rubbar pH-värdet och kan ge upphov till tidigt åldrande, förhöjt blodtryck, viktuppgång och ojämn hormonbalans.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Kirsten Dunst och Victoria Beckham blev frälsta i den alkaliska dieten efter att ha läst boken "Honestly Healthy". Beckham rekommenderade även boken Twitter.

Detox Cleanse -the basics


To start you off on the Path to total Wellness, it is essential to clear out the backlog of toxins that have accumulated over many years - get rid of headaches, sluggishness, low mood and unnecessary excess weight, and embark on a new programme that is not a diet, but a Way of Life!
The Cleanse includes an abundance of freshly prepared vegetable juices that are rich in nutrients to support the Liver and Kidneys during their natural cleansing process. These juices are a vital part of the Cleanse as they help to maintain energy production,  clear toxins, rebalance hormones and improve immunity.

Think of Fibre as Nature’s internal toothbrush and, we believe, key to cleansing, so green leafy vegetables, salad leaves and root vegetables served in salads, soups and casseroles are all included.  Soluble fibre, found in whole grains such as buckwheat, brown rice, oats and quinoa are all included in the Cleanse to help ‘sweep’ out the intestines and the ‘plaque’ that builds up on the intestinal wall. Once cleaned, the absorption of nutrients will be greatly increased, you will be bounding with energy, your eyes will be brighter and you will have noticeably increased energy.

We strongly recommend some of Nature’s Superfood nutrients alongside plenty of fresh foods -Spirulina, known for its abundant vitamins and minerals, is also well-documented as a toxin-remover and immune-booster, together with sea vegetables such as Nori and Wakame seaweeds, both rich in iron and metabolism-enhancing nutrients.

Sprouted beans and seeds are considered the very best vegetarian proteins as they are literally ‘living foods’ supplying your body with delicious amino acids - the building blocks of every cell in your body.  Add hempseed, flaxseed, linseed, sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, unsalted and unroasted,  for the essential fatty acids to replace the saturated fats found in dairy produce, meats and poultry.

We recommend that you carry out the Cleanse phase for 1-3 weeks, depending on how full of processed foods, sugar and alcohol your current eating regime is!  However, if you are diabetic, or taking prescription medication for any reason at all, please consult your doctor or health specialist before embarking on The Cleanse.

Periodisk fasta (inlägg 1) -test

Jag har testat det i 2 dagar nu, jag är skitpigg! Och har massor av energi, ingen berochdalbana på blodsockret, och jag har gått ner 1kg! Och kom inte och säg att det är muskelmassa jag förlorat, för jag har nämligen ingen! Jag kan ju inte ens lyfta upp hytten själv när jag ska byta batteri på trucken!

Mer info om periodisk fasta kommer, jag var bara så glad att jag var tvungen att slänga ihop detta, så jag minns.

(76,5-75,5)

Mitt matschema so far:

Onsdag:

8.00-9.00 5 dl rumsvarmt vatten med citron

9.00-10.00 2 stora koppar kaffe med en skvätt mjölk

10.00-11.00 2 koppar nässel-te

11.00-15.00 Avkok på ingefära (+ev limeblad) och vatten, obegränsat

15.00-15.30 2dl ekologisk grekisk/turkisk yoghurt + 75g bär (blåbär, blåbär/hallon eller Icas havtorn/goji/mm-mix) + lite extra torkade gojibär, mixa med handmixern

18.00 Mammas matlåda

20.45 Pasta med dressing, ruccola och tomater

22.30 1 kopp grönt te


--------------------------------

Torsdag:


8.00-9.00 5 dl rumsvarmt vatten med citron

9.00-10.00 2 stora koppar kaffe med en skvätt mjölk

10.00-11.00 2 koppar nässel-te

11.00-15.00 Avkok på ingefära (+ev limeblad) och vatten, obegränsat

15.00-15.30 2dl ekologisk grekisk/turkisk yoghurt + 75g bär (blåbär, blåbär/hallon eller Icas havtorn/goji/mm-mix) + lite extra torkade gojibär, mixa med handmixern

18.00 Mammas matlåda

20.45 Korv med potatismos

--------------------------------
Tog med mig termos till jobbet med ingefärs-avkok som jag drack en liten mugg i timmen ungefär.
Eftersom jag jobbar 15.30-00.30 är detta otroligt lätt för mig. Jag äter mer eller mindre bara på jobbet.

Jag ser detta som ett experiment, detta är absolut inget jag kommer fortsätta med om jag mår dåligt.

Hoppas ni får en fin helg!

Helt okej diet



Denna har jag själv utformat så ta den inte så allvarligt, mer som inspiration, jag gillar att man ser näringsämnena :) Fattas bara ORAC-värden.
Rullande schema, liknande livsmedel kan byta plats med varann.
Äter man så här + fria grönsaker och bär så slipper man typ extra vitaminer.
Vill man äta mer kalorier och/eller kolhydrater och tillbehör adderar man helt enkelt pasta/potatis/ris, gärna vildris.
