The Human Diet

It just occurred to me that I've never fully explained why I call this The Human Diet or laid out what I do. So here it goes! 

I call this The Human Diet and the reason I do is its based 100% on nutrition and the natural way to be healthy and fit. No gimmicks, no punch line, no fancy stuff. I eat whole clean foods, meaning a vast majority of my diet is unprocessed and what is is lightly and still food as it was meant to be. If you can find it in nature or close to it, like bread, cheese, yogurt, then I don't eat it. I eat about 250-300 calories per meal and shoot for 150-250 for snack, however I am nursing so my calorie allotment is a little higher than average. I drink water and still allow myself two cups of coffee a day. My sweetener of choice is stevia or pure local honey. I buy organic, shop, for the most part, local, which is cheaper for me. I try to limit carbs but don't cut anything out nutrition wise. I don't not eat white sugar and I'm about to cut regular white flour. My diet is largely based on fruit and veg in raw form but I do that because I prefer it that way and I actually enjoy it so its not hard for me. I eat what I'm meant to eat as a human, hence the name. 

I workout daily. It's rarely the same workout with the exception of strength and core building which I routinely follow but regularly add to and bulk up:

Lower body-

50 Squats (since the squat challenge)

20 lunges each side

Core and abs-

Working crunch month challenge see below

And I've added side crunches to this to make it more of a challenge

20 pelvic leg lifts

20 scissor kicks

20 sit ups

20 flutter kicks

60-90 plank depending on how I feel

Arm strength-

2lb arm lifts and curls every way I can think, 20 reps a piece 

10 push-ups

20 'girly' push-ups 

10 reverse push-ups 

Cardio wise I mix it up! If it's outside and active I'm up for it! If I can't squeeze something new in my fall backs are running and long walks with the kiddos I the park. 

Well, there it is! It's not rocket science! Everything in moderation, eat what was naturally put here for you to consume and get off the couch!!! 

I also take a vitamin supplement everyday and drink enough water. If you have any questions drop by the Human Diet on Facebook add and ask away!
