evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    Eating Clean on the Road: Part 4 ‘Survival of the Fittest’ I have arrived in Cuba safe and sound and it was an exhausting 12 hour journey but worth ever moment.  I had my first swim in the gorgeous turquoise ocean today, enjoyed delicious, fresh meals and had an awesome 6km run on the white sand beach. I would like to address my journey here; however, before I go into more detail about how life is over here. It’s a miracle that I have been able to access my blog.  A very kind gentleman at our hotel, has allowed me to use his computer so my posts will be brief and to the point. Eating on the plane and at airports, things to consider: Depending on the length of your journey, pack an appropriate number of meals.  My trip from home to the hotel was about 7 hours so, I packed breakfast, a snack and a full lunch Most countries will require you to toss any fresh veggies, meats and fruits before entry but traveling and consuming these foods on the plane (in my experience) is fine.  This way, you don’t have to worry about finding clean options at the airports as options are limited.  I don’t recommend the plane food.  Not only is it loaded with preservatives, sodium and saturated fats, it is totally non-conducive with a clean lifestyle. Most airports will have the option of fresh fruits and or veggie but clean carbs and protein, in my experience can be difficult to find.  Prawn cocktail seems to be readily available at most large airports, however. Meal I packed: Zain’s Mixed Berry and Ricotta Griddle Cakes, Zain’s Peaches & Creme Summer Oats (see My Favourite Breakfasts Page), Brown Rice + Tofu + Broccoli Zain’s Mixed Berry Ricotta Cheese Griddle Cakes This is a delicious recipe, travels really well and is packed with high-quality protein that will keep you full and energized for a few hours until your next meal. It can be eaten warm or cool. Ingredients: 5 Egg Whites 1 Whole Egg 1/2 Cup Ricotta Cheese Light 1/2 Cup Oats 1/2 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder 7-10 Drops Liquid Stevia 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder 11/2 Tbsp Maple Syrup Cooking Spray OR 1 Tsp Coconut Oil Directions: 1. Heat griddle and coat with spray or oil 2. Blend all ingredients (using a food processor or magic bullet) except walnuts, berries and syrup 3. Once blended , add walnuts and pour batter onto griddle 4. Cook until fluffy and golden on both sides, top with mixed berries and syrup **Note sorry about the formatting, if post look strange its because I am working with very limited resources
