Phyto Diet

gail-in-kitchen.jpg

My philososphy is - 'Eat to Live not Live to Eat'. The latter being the cause of why so many are obese today. What you eat determines how happy you are – both about life and about yourself and how you look. What you eat determines your energy levels, your health, and if you are a mother – the health and well being of your family. I am proud of the way I look, and my diet keeps me fit and healthy. gail_caddy0028.jpg

My natural phyto diet means I am full of energy, and in my mid 50’s I still have the same figure I had in my 20’s – despite giving birth to four children and having a hectic lifestyle which could easily tempt me into bad eating habits. Here are my basic principles of a healthy approach to eating”

Drinks

These form an essential part of the phyto diet. They are easily absorbed by the body and stop dehydration. Water is essential for the survival of all known life forms.
We all know how important water is to us, yet, many of us still go through the day dehydrated, leaving our skin, especially, looking dry and unhealthy. The best way to insure that this does not happen is to keep a bottle of water on your desk or in the fridge making sure you finish it and refill it until you have your daily recommended amount. You can count tea or coffee as part of your intake, just don't overdo the caffeine!!

Dairy and Eggs

Yes….dairy products are full of fat and they are hard to digest.  Many people have an intolerance of dairy products.  Not everyone will recognise this intolerance.  Symptoms like lethargy, skin problems, digestive problems, can often be traced back to an intolerance of dairy products.

Fruit

Centuries ago, our choice of fruit was limited to that which we could grow locally and it was very seasonal.  Nowadays, we have a vast array of fruit available all year.  To a degree, this goes against the principles of the Phyto Diet because the Phyto Diet demands that all our food is natural and totally fresh.
