I have always been a picky eater, but becoming health conscious has taken it a bit further. More often than not I’m asked “well… what DO you eat?”, so here is a run down of my daily food intake:
My diet is pretty much a mix of a high alkaline, vegetarian, mediterranean diet. Generally, I limit eating out to two days a week and even so, try to limit GMO or processed foods from those meals. I don’t follow a strict regime, but try to be consistent with my nutrition and exercise. I’m human and pig out on crappy food/go out drinking, but the key is moderation.
Although this is the ideal diet for my body and health, it may not be for you ***Consult a nutritionist or naturopath to educate yourself on your own nutritional needs***

Staples of my diet include:
- Leafy greens
- Avocados
- Fruits (berries, apples, lemons, grapefruit, pomegranate, banana whatever I’m in the mood for)
- Vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach, onions, celery…)
- Sweet potatoes
- Seeds (flax, chia, hemp, sunflower)
- Nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashew, pistacchio)
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Chicken breasts
- Seafood (salmon, shrimp, tuna, octopus)
- Quinoa
- Almond milk
- Whole grains, preferably raw + sprouted (cereal, bread, wraps)
Here’s a few examples of what I’ll usually eat everyday
