Tasty Treats made healthier

Sophia McDermott Drysdale FIT

We can all enjoy some tasty treats. Over the years I have found ways to make not so  healthy food, much healthier by replacing some ingredients with healthier options, eliminating some ingredients that aren't necessary and changing the way food is cooked. 

So here is my healthier version of french toast. Firstly I use sprouted grain ezekiel bread that  is bursting with  so much more nutrients than normal processed white wheat bread that has zero nutrients. Secondly I cut out more of the not so good ingredients. This recipe is so simple and so easy.  Here's how.

French Toast with Summer  Fruit. (serves 2)

2 slices of sprouted ezekiel bread

1/3 cup of sweetened almond milk

1 egg

1/3 tsp vanilla essence

1 tsp coconut oil (for cooking)

2 cups of chopped fresh summer  fruit such as mixed berries, banana or mango

powdered sugar (optional)

Mix the egg with  almond milk and vanilla essence. Soak the bread in the mixture and add to a pan coated with coconut oil. Cook the toast on one side on medium heat for about 3 minutes and then flip cooking the other side for about 3 minutes.  Repeat with the other slice of bread. Chop up the fruit and serve on top of the toast and serve with a tiny sprinkle of powdered sugar. 

Next Lifestyle Camp up and running - grab your spot!!

This isn't just a BJJ camp (although there is 2 hours of technique and training every morning), it is about all the aspects that are important in creating a fabulous and healthy lifestyle. This camp includes healthy food/nutrition, movement with yoga and sculpting workouts and the mental aspect where I have a holistic facilitator who does the guided meditations and Warrior Within workshops. This camp will  be covering the theme of eliminating negative self talk which is such a big thing to  hold us back from getting what we want in life. 

The best thing about the camps though is the sisterhood and the lifelong friendships that are created to BJJ. This will be my 6th camp and a wonderful sisterhood that has come about from these. 

Here is a link that has loads of info: there is a PDF you can download.

My 7 Day Meal Plan - Spring into Summer is ready!!!

sophia mcdermott drysdale fit

My new e book, 7 Day Meal Plan - Spring into Summer is ready!!! I am really happy to share with you all the recipes that I enjoy year round. The book is loaded with yummy meals and snacks for you to use for 7 days as a cleanse, detox and boost as well as a guide for future use.

 One of the biggest reasons people fail with diets is because they don't eat enough and they are also stuck eating the same boring food every day. There is only so many days in a row one might be able to eat bland chicken breast and steamed broccoli. My meals and recipes are different, delicious, full of variety and goodness. I tweak normal recipes and make them healthy- making sure they still taste just as good. I change the way some recipes are cooked and exchange some ingredients for healthier options that are whole, unprocessed, free of trans fats or heavy saturated fats, refined flours, sugars, chemicals and preservatives.

Look at things from a perspective of health and you will make better choices

Sophia MCDermott Drysdale FIT

If you look at things from a perspective of health rather than a perspective of 'will this make me fat?' You will always make better choices. If you choose foods that are good for you because you want to be healthy then as time goes on you will continually make better choices and as a result your body will follow. You will lose weight, your skin will look better, you will have more energy. If you are an athlete, you will perform better and have better recovery.  

Eat for health and not for looks. That means eat as much fruit and vegetables as you can get your hands on. Eat whole foods. Stay away from processed carbs and processed meats with nitrates and drink plenty of water.

What you need to know about your body's hormonal response to food.

Sophia MCDermott Drysdale

Have a read of my article just published in Whole Life Challenge magazine. I discuss the effect that food has on our bodies in a hormonal/chemical way and how this can program out bodies to store our calories or to utilize them. If we eat all of the wrong types of food, regardless of the overall calories content it can signal our body to store continuously. This means that our cells can become starved of nutrients because everything is being converted as fat. Conversely if we eat certain foods and in the right combination this will signal our bodies to utilize the fuel for energy.  For overall health and weight loss what you eat and how you you eat is as important as how much  you eat. Read on to find out why. https://www.wholelifechallenge.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-your-bodys-hormonal-response-to-food/
