You may know Christy from her inspirational instagram account @how_i_lost_10_kilos. Christy first started her health journey in October 2013. She joined a local bootcamp & decided after years of disliking her body image that enough was enough and something had to change! She lost 12 kilos over 6 months by deciding to make better food choices. She now eats clean 80% of the time and sticks to a high protein diet! Christy loves baking sweet raw treats and going for long runs every morning. Here is what she eats on an average day with her day on a plate… My day on a plate consists of; 60% carbs 40% protein & 10% fat. I’m always baking clean, raw, treats & try to swap it up everyday! Breakfast: 1 cup of organic puffed rice, 1 cup of blueberries & almond milk Mid-morning Snack: Banana shake – 1 frozen banana, a handful of spinach leaves, 180 g of Chobani yoghurt, 2 schools of vanilla whey protein, coconut water, almond milk & Cacao nibs to garnish. Lunch: I meal prep every Sunday which makes my life so much easier as I’m on the go all the time! This lunch is 150 g of shredded chicken & 1 cup of broccoli with wholemeal mustard. Mid-afternoon Snack: 3 linseed, soy & chia corn thins with 50 g of cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes. Dinner: Salmon chick pea & avocado salad! Smoked shaved salmons, 2 boiled eggs, avocado, chick peas, cucumber, tomato, spinach leaves & carrot with lemon juice as a dressing. Dessert: Banana & date ice cream- 2 frozen bananas, 5 chopped dates & a splash of coconut water in blender until a ice-cream consistency appears. Exercise: 20 mins meditation – everyday I try to sit back with a green tea, close my eyes & listen to music in a far quite room. Bootcamp – 3 x a week 1 hr duration. Today’s session = Cardio. I also do weights 2 x a week and try to go for a run or a hike 1-2 x a week. Here’s my signature recipe for Clean Curry Chicken: 4 x shredded cooked chicken breasts 1 can of lite coconut cream 1 chopped red capsicum A handful of spinach leaves A cup of mushrooms 1 tsp of minced garlic Curry powder & Cumin powder to taste! Taste as you go, add as much of the powders to your taste & liking! Cook & brown shredded chicken breast on a medium pan add coconut milk and ingredients & cook for 15-20 minutes. Makes enough for 10 or so meals that I freeze with broccoli & quinoa
