Eat right! I think?

So David and I made our detox smoothies last night, and.....they were surprisingly delish! 

I found the recipe through pinterest (duh!)  It is 1 cup of baby spinach, 1 cup of kale, 1 pear cut into pieces, 1 frozen banana, and 1 1/2 cups of orange juice.  Yum! 

Neither one of us felt any different afterwards, or had to make multiple trips to the loo...so maybe it didn't detox us, but at least it tasted good and we got an extra fruit and veggie serving.  We will most definitely be making again!

For dinner we had salmon and veggies on top of brown rice.

I am not a huge fan of brown rice.  I could eat white rice every day all day long, but aparently brown is the healthier choice.  With that being said, on to the next topic of conversation.  How on earth do you decide what is healthy and what is not.  Overall I would say David and I eat pretty good.  We don't drink soda, and we may have fast food once or twice a month.  I do however have a huge sweet tooth and somehow got into the habit of wanting just a bite of something sweet after I eat anything.  We do also enjoy a few adult beverages on the weekends, but I think we would be able to cut back.  I am not looking to be on a diet to lose weight, I just want to be healthy and fit, and I want my abs back!  Over the past couple days I have been looking up healthy diets and eating "clean".  I have found articles on how eating grains, as in cereal grains are bad for you. Eating meat is bad for you.  Dairy is bad for you.  It is all very confusing.  So what do you eat?  I really like concepts from the Paleo diet

The hardest thing with eating this way is cutting out all dairy.  David and I can go through two gallons of milk in a week.  Saying we LOVE milk is an understatement.  I also just started reading "The Beauty Detox Solution" by Kimberly Snyder C.N.

I have only read the first chapter in this book and she talks about how human bodies were not designed to eat meat or dairy.  She also includes studies on how eating these things can be linked to cancer.  So this should be a fun read :)  I will keep you updated as I continue reading.  

I think we are going to give the Paleo Diet a try and see how it works for us, and take one day a week to eat the pizza, Chipotle, french toast, and vodka waters my body desperately needs to survive.  Everything is okay in moderation right?

Are you on a diet?  What kind of meal "plan" works best for you? 

Well I have a few hours before WORK tonight! So I guess I will clean! We have another fun visitor coming this weekend!

Love love love,
