Clean and Green

Most people who know me will also know that I have spent much of the last 15 years struggling with my weight, having issues with how I look, and pretty much pursuing every diet under the sun. Since I started my Arbonne business 18 months ago I've become a lot more interested in a wholefood diet but last week was finally prompted to start a new experiment with a focus on something other than weight.

For probably the last six months I've felt permanently exhausted and under the weather, and it's left me feeling that I'm struggling to keep up with my life. Numerous blood tests later my GP has been unable to suggest anything useful so I read the introduction of +Deliciously Ella with a sense of growing excitement. If she can cure (or manage) a quite serious illness with diet then surely I can achieve similar results?

So for the last week I've eaten almost exclusively from her recipes and so far am feeling pretty awesome! I make no suggestion that I could (or want to) permanently stick to a vegan diet or that I will never order a takeaway again, but so far I truly do feel better for keeping it clean and green. The picture below which I saw on Facebook a few days ago has given me pause for thought. What do I want to be made of?
