HEALTHY YOU
#Danielsdiet
I guess, you would be wondering what that headline is about. Well! i was out visiting a good friend and we were chatting about her official leave coming up and plans for traveling, when she got a ping on blackberry from a colleague at work who was already on vacation and i think she wrote:"I am enjoying myself and eating like a big girl everyday"
She then sent a a picture of her food.Check this out:
 |
| This had a lot of cholesterol, which is not easily burnt of with exercise. |
she even adds fried sausages to this basic meal. But lets be truthful the average Nigerian is so brainwashed that we are killing ourselves with a lot of quick junk. Don't get me wrong, i am not claiming to be a saint because I am as guilty as everyone else. I had to renew my mind on the definition of enjoyment and a healthy me.
Below picture is the every day quick fix meal for most spinsters or bachelors in Lagos with a chilled bottle of Coke.
If you have any argument read the end of this article first, Abeg! then send your comments. I believe that to eat "amala and ewedor" everyday is a lot healthier. This meal in the above picture should be once in a week thing.
 |
| Healthy breakfast. Very affordable and not too time consuming. |
 |
| My dream romantic breakfast. |
if you can recall the first "healthy you" article i wrote on 19 of April, 2015. I had a rude awaking that i was an addicted junkie.In this, i mean, i couldn't easily make the right food /nutritional decision/choices everyday. This is not just me but almost every other Lagosian or Nigerian for that matter.
Challenge is for a week:
* You need to drink on a daily basis: 2 litres of water minimum
* Take fruits twice a day
* Eat freshly made salad at least twice a week
* No Coke, 7Up or Beer (no carbonated drinks nor wine, spirits)
*No cakes , fried plantain (Dodo)nor akara
* Take fermented Drinks at least once; Yorgurt, Ogi, Kunu
*Your budget is N3500( that is in naira) for a week only.
Then take a picture of yourself before and after a week of this diet. Lets us have your comments or observations. We need to know or i need to know, if it was really a challenge or easy breezy!
