Week 4 – The Healthy Diet

Week 4 – The Healthy Diet


New week, new dieting plan to follow and one step closer to completing the healthy diet. Let’s have a look at what you’ll be having for the upcoming 7 days. 3 weeks ago we had a quick look at bad eating habits and decided on starting this series of posts for those of you that want to have a detox/dieting program. For a quick flashback, check Manu’s post on healthily losing some kilos. Have a look at this week’s menu and don’t forget that during this diet it is not recommended to exercise heavily – focus more on stretching, Pilates, light yoga and the like :)
