Raw Chocolate Truffles

What better way to celebrate hump-day than with some healthy little raw chocolate truffles! I finally got this recipe just right and these little balls of bliss are the perfect fix for a sweet tooth moment AND the macros are pretty amazing too. You can add in other things like nuts, seeds or cacao nibs- experiment and let me know if you come up with any mind blowing flavour combos. Enjoy

Bread that's not poisonous! woohoo.

So let's talk about bread. 

When I first started losing weight I was all about the multigrain, low GI bread life. And all was well: I had boiled egg and toast for breakfast and toast with soup every night...complex carbohydrates were my best friend and the weight was falling off (as it should when toast is the heaviest calorie load of your day). But then my metabolism got smart with me and slowed down to a near halt, and the saying "I look at carbohydrates and gain weight" might as well have tattooed its self across my forehead.  The more I learned about my body, PCOS, Paleo and so on, the more I realised that grains and I were never ever getting back together. I went full blown cold turkey.

When I started my journey I knew very little about healthy living. I didn't know the first thing about being truly fit, I didn't know what food did and didn't do for me and I certainly had no idea what was happening in my body.
