I’ve been into Clean Eating for a while now. I ate a Paleo diet for a while and felt amazing. I was running 5k every day and I was eating whole foods: fruits, nuts, vegetables and good meat. I was dropping weight and looking fresh. Then I got Glandular Fever and was run down for about 6 weeks. Couldn’t run and could barely walk, was eating high energy foods to try and make it through the day. I got myself into a slump and I’ve put on a stone. Bleurgh!

I have been planning on getting into it properly. Everyday i say,

‘No shit today, Charis. No crap is getting into this body!’

Nope, not worked. Had sugar cravings by about 1pm. I have not managed to get through a day without the uncontrolable urge to devour vast amounts of sugar.

I refuse to let the corporations have control over my body and this is what is going on! Watch this film…

It discusses the political implications of sugar. Sugar is like the cocaine of food stuffs. Refined, unnatural and unbelievably addictive. It is put in our food products to make us NEED to buy them.

I am going on a detox as of tomorrow. I have ordered a lot of stuff from eBay to help me detox. Going to pick up a juicer, chia seeds, chlorella and seaweed. Buy 50 quid worth of fresh veg and go crazy. Gentle walks, lots of natural sleep, nice detox, get all the crap out of me!!!

COME AT ME HEALTH!!!
