Keeping it Colourful

A stir fry is an easy way to pack a meal full of colourful veggies and leaves you feeling fully satisfied! 

You can adapt your stir fry with different meats, fishes or substitutes to keep your meals interesting - and I find that keeping your meal varied really is the key to maintaining a healthy eating habit. 

As well as all the veggies this stir fry does include carbs and fats... words everyone dreads to hear when they're dieting but these are truly aspects that our body needs in order to fuel throughout the day. 

If you are really limiting your carbs leading up to an event or a holiday this meal can be just as satisfying without the noodles, providing you are using a suitable substitute! A good substitute for noodles is beansprouts, once cooked your brain can be easily fooled into thinking that they are noodles or even along side the noodles to bulk out your portion (they're also really good raw too!).

Pick your ingredients and veggies to your own taste but remember a lot of veggies shrink in the wok so always add a little more than you need. Small unrealistic portions will lead to a hormone in-balance in the body ultimately leading you to binge eat later on. 

Create healthy balanced meals that keep you body fuelled for exercise and activities leading to healthy body and a happy mind.
