We all know what is good for you and what should you be eating but sometimes, when the temptations are on every corner, (yes you, delicious Italian gelato vendors, I refer to you) we forget about and just gave in to our cravings. As I am not in position to gave in to any temptations ( getting married and still under super-strict eating regimen) than I am here to share you some good tips for a healthy and balanced diet that might help you when you are doing your grocery shopping for the week.
Here are some tips approved by Women’s Health Nutritionist Eve Kalinik and me backing up the theory what should you eat for a healthy diet and weight loss.

Breakfast
- A) Scrammbled / boiled eggs ( I go for egg whites)
- B) Porridge (I go for oats) Either overnight or hot water infused with some berries
