HOMEMADE VEGAN INARI SUSHI

I recently had vegan sushi from .uk and fell in love with the inari sushi and the soy miso sweet chilli sauce so I made it at home!

Inari is a deep fried tofu pocket and you fill it with sushi rice to make sushi

I used Amazon-bought inari and mixed brown & white sushi rice for a healthier balance

🤔Did you know that adding vinegar to rice reduces the glycaemic index (GI) of rice by 35%?

GI is how high your blood sugar rises when you eat a certain food so this is great tip for blood sugar balance

I've added shaoxing rice wine vinegar along with toasted sesame oil, sichimi togarashi, seaweed and light soy sauce to the sushi rice

Sauce recipe coming soon! 😊

🌟PLANT-BASED SPICY CHAI🌟

This went down a treat with the family as we watched the hail pour down in the garden from grey skies

This is the perfect cup of cosy!

Ingredients:

Oat milk
Tea
Fennel seeds
Cloves
Star anise
Ginger
Cinnamon
Cardamom
Vanilla bean paste

A tsp of each per 1 mug of milk + teabag and simmer for 6-7 minutes but make it to taste! I love extra ginger in it so I add more

My go-to dessert is usually fruits and occasionally some oatgurt (oat yoghurt)

Fruits are full of antioxidants, fibre and healthy sugars that keep you full and satisfied

Always think of the rainbow when eating fruits - the more the colours, the better!

A serving of fruit is around 80g which is:

1 medium fruit (banana, apple)
2 small fruits (clementines)
1 handful of smaller fruits (berries)
30g of dried fruit = 2 tbsps

The minimum recommendation per day is 5 servings (400g) but some studies have shown that 10 servings (800g) are better at reducing disease risk

FAT LOSS & MAINTENANCE

Left: 74kg
Right: 63.5kg

For those who have followed me for some time, you know I've been on a fat loss and weight maintenance journey since 2018

My journey inspired me to get my diploma in sports nutrition and another in fitness and weight loss *perpetual nerd alert* 🤓

You never *really* know how different you look until you compare progress photos! Check mine out! ☝🏼

This is not a full body comparison but the difference in my facial structure is clear. Do you agree?

🤔Should you take photos of yourself on a fat loss journey?

YES!

🤔Why?

Empowering your self-belief
Great motivational tool
Easy to see changes

🤔How often should I take them?

Every 4 weeks

🤔How do I take them?

Front facing full body
Side facing full body

Other ways to track progress:

✅Waist circumference
✅Waist-to-hip ratio
✅Bio-impedance analysis scale
✅Calipers

I'll tell you about how I lost weight and kept it off in another post so stay tuned

For now - happy Friday and enjoy your weekend ahead!

POST-RUN ENDORPHINS

Just ran on my lunch break. It was so cold but so worth it!

🤔Did you know that aerobic exercise can reduce depression by 48%?

🤔And reduce mortality from all causes by 30%?

🤔And reduce breast and colon cancer by 20%?

And..and..and! I could keep going

✅How much do you need to do?

30-60 minutes daily

✅How hard?

Enough to be able to sing but not talk

✅How often?

At least 5 times per week

✅How to get this habit started?

Start by preparing your clothes for a workout or run a day before, lay them out to see and set an alarm!

You can do this!

ARE YOU FEELING CRANKY?

That makes two of us!

I've been quite busy and tired and cranky lately so it really prompted me to reflect inward and troubleshoot

I realised that I had been working alot and thinking/rethinking about my long to-do list with a partial loss of routine

We are all guilty of getting stuck in a task warp - am I right? 🤔

So what did I do to fix this?

✅Added 5 minutes of breathing meditation to my morning
✅Done morning or evening yoga daily
✅Gone for a 20 minute walk to clear my mind
✅Restarted reading a book before bed for at least 30 minutes

I needed to move more, manage stress and stimulate my brain. Boy do I feel much better already! 😆

But what is it that you need?

My advice is to reflect, try different things and see what makes you feel better physically, emotionally and mentally

How do you get out of a rut? 👇🏼 Comment with your tips below

Nutritional yeast (aka nooch)and panko covered cauliflower steak with spinach, beetroot, olives and hummus

Check out my stories for how I put this together!☝🏼

Nooch is an amazing source of B12 and iron

The trick to increase iron absorption from foods is:

✅Cook in a cast iron skillet
✅Pair it with a food containing vitamin C

I squeezed half a lemon on my spinach to do just that!
