I eat healthy atleast 70% of the time. Here’s what all I feel :-I wake up feeling energetic and wanting to visit the loo instantly. My stomach is well prepared to get rid of the toxins smoothly first thing in the morning before I ingest anything else. People who feel constipated would know what a blessing this is.My muscles are strong and it’s easy for me to lift weights in the gym . I always have the energy to do it. I am always pumped up.My body is very flexible thanks to yoga and clean eating. Clean eating just means that you have fairly less % of fat and it’s easier for you to move and practice aasnas.My menstrual cycle has always been regular and painless. My menstrual cycle is still very regular and it’s NOT AT ALL painful . All the micronutrients makes it easier for my body to get rid of the eggs every month. It’s a dream to be menstruated and not be in pain.I have never felt bloated or acidic. Like ever.My skin is fairly clear and it has some shine all over it. Like a glow that can only come from within and not externally. No amount of makeup can impart such a glow I promise.I don’t crave junk all the time. If I am hungry I will want a salad or a smoothie or dosa. Something healthy always.I can go on for weeks and months without any caffeine. I just don’t need it. I enjoy coffee and tea according to mood and never to feel awake.My bladder is super active and gets rid of all the toxins throughout the day thanks to optimum consumption of water.And last but not the least , I go to sleep very peacefully. I rest and prepare my body for another day.

Don’t combine fruits and vegetables. They both need different enzymes for breakdown and hence there should be a minimum of 20 minutes gap between these two.Never juice your fruits always chew on them..Aim on eating a bowl of raw salad with your two meals. It could be as simple as some chopped onions and cucumber but it will serve as prebiotic that is food for your gut bacteria.Squeeze some lemon juice on your dals and salad It will provide live enzymes to your meals and hence again making everything easier for digestion..Always keep a gap of 30 mins between your lunch and buttermilk. Buttermilk decreases the high pH levels which is needed for digestion..Eat desserts before a meal if need be and not after your meals. Ever.Always eat dosa with chutney and less aloo bhaji. Instead have a side of salad to make the meals more filling. Try and avoid combining two carbs in large quantities together..Always eat more of good and healthy fats such as chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and all dry fruits.The more fat you eat the lesser fat you gain as simple as that. Don’t be scared of fats :)

1. Keep temptations away.A few weeks ago, my brother bought those delicious frosted sugar cookies from Target. You know, those pillowy soft cookies with deliciously creamy frosting and sprinkles. I’d been eating healthy for several weeks, but couldn’t help myself to one (or two, or three).So, as much as it pained me to do, after we had our treat, we threw the rest in the trash. The less unhealthy food you have at home, the less unhealthy food you’ll eat.2. Find healthy, filling foods you love. I hate salads. So, even if I’m trying to eat healthy, I’m not going to force myself to eat a salad. Instead, I found foods that I love, that also happen to be healthy. In particular, I love avocado toast, smoothies, and overnight oats. Now, every morning, I look forward to these delicious, yet healthy, treats that keep me full longer.3. Have cheat meals (once in a while). There are certain food/drinks and experiences that I just love, and can’t let go. I love bubble tea, stuffing myself with noodles at hot pot, and chicken biryani. So, on the occasion, I’ll treat myself to those foods, maybe when I’m out with my friends or family.Eating healthy isn’t about restricting yourself or not allowing yourself to enjoy great food. It’s all about moderation.
