Week 3 of my 30 Day clean eating Snapchat challenge and the results are in! A run through of what I ate for the week is below, and you can see Week 1 here and Week 2 here in case you missed it, but as always I documented it all on Snapchat if you’re following me there!
I’ve exceeded my target for the month of 3.6kg already having lost half a stone over the first 2 weeks, and another .8kg this week. Totally 4kg weightloss to date. (8.8lbs) As mentioned on Snapchat weightloss will plateau from clean eating alone (depending on your starting weight, everyone’s body is different) so I will need to incorporate exercise from next month if my objective is to lose further weight. I think it’s important to get healthy eating right before throwing yourself into exercise so that you don’t get fed up and give up on both easily.
My plan for the week was 5 small meals a day – smoothie, breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. Eating every 3-4 hours. Also taking Vitamin D, Zinc and Multivitamins. Anything cooked is fried in Coconut Oil. And opt for Gluten Free and Dairy free where possible. I have some tips to get you started here, and there’s plenty of info in the My Health Corner section too! Below is what I ate and documented on Snapchat!

I ate little and often, enough to sustain a busy lifestyle that has no exercise other than the daily walk in my commute to work or the stairs to the 4th floor. My food was easy and fit perfectly into my day, but will be jazzing it up a bit from next week! Again, this is just what works for me, I can’t ensure this will work for everyone. I’m very happy with already reaching target but that doesn’t mean I can lose focus. I will set new targets and goals – eating healthy feels great, regardless of the number on the scales.
