I’ve been looking though my search results and I’ve seen people come to my site looking for a 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge, and a 5 Day Clean Eating Challenge. I have some good news and some bad news, and then some even better news….
In January I started an 8 week clean eating challenge to see what effect it might have on my body. After 8 weeks of careful eating – the results are in!
I’ve only 2 weeks left – I’ve not been updating the blog as often as I was when I started the CEC, but then once you get into the swing of it there’s less to say! This is an update of my progress and thoughts so far, along with some […]
It’s 3 weeks now that I’ve been carefully controlling my eating, avoiding processed foods and what most people consider staple foods such as pasta, rice and bread! Last week I sent myself a couple of goals, so here’s an update on how it’s going.
Two weeks into my Clean Eating Challenge and I’m still learning how best to balance my meals, and about portion control – but this week I also got my best ever beep test score, and set two new personal bests in lifting.

A week into my Clean Eating Challenge and I’ve learnt a lot, and also failed in a few places too! I’ve been pretty careful with what I eat (on and off a little, but mostly on) for the last few years anyway, but I’m taking it to a new level as […]
I’m still struggling to get the protein to fat balance right – it seems that almost everything high in protein is also high in fat. I didn’t know eggs had just as much fat in as protein!
Today I tried to increase my carbs in the morning – and failed. I’m behind on carbs today, it seems I need to find ways of increasing this real soon. I’m also low on protein, despite eating turkey, salmon, and cream cheese today. This is hard hard work! It’s a […]
