My name is Tash and I live in Sydney.
To get straight to the point, after years of emotional eating and yet a real passion for nutrition, I am embarking on a 6 week whole foods challenge. My emotional eating patterns have a tendency to sabotage my efforts to eat well so I am starting with a challenge to get me fired up and on track. For now, I will endeavour to at least get into the rhythm of whole foods eating and cut out the processed food with a view to further tweaks down the line.
The challenge: To complete 42 days of eating whole foods. With this is mind I will specifically be avoiding:
- Margarine
- Vegetable oils
- Diet or Lite or Lean products
- Juices
- Dried fruits
- Refined salt
- Sugar
- Artificial sweeteners
- White flour products: e.g. pasta, bread etc
- Cereal
- Soft drinks, cordials, or flavoured waters
- Processed condiments, sauces, pastes, jams and dressings
- Soy
- Nitrate deli meats
- Non organic cheese or processed cheese
- Canned foods
- Ultra heated milks and stocks etc
- Proteins powders, protein bars, muesli bars etc
- Biscuits made out of flour
- Cakes made out of flour
- Processed chocolate
- Poorly prepared nuts & seeds
Day One of the challenge began yesterday.

Lunch: Home made minced beef patties with zucchini and onion sautéed in onion, home made grain free, sugar free coconut biscuit
