THE WHOLESOME DINER

I grew up on a farm as a true kiwi kid built on weetbix, milo, sausages and good old fish n chips! It was not until around 20 that I realised my constant bloating and stomach pains may be my tummy trying to speak up! I believe I had always been in denial and ignored the signs my body was giving me as I never wanted to have to give up my beloved late night treats. Chocolate was what got me through all of the late night university studying after all!... My tummy pains hit an all time high and my energy levels an all time low which pushed me to overnight ditch all carbs, meat, dairy, sugar, gluten & processed foods. I had never felt better! But I what I found was, whenever a touch a sugar or flavouring hit my lips I turned into this uncontrollable monster that would destroy any packets of chocolate or chippies in sight! The feeling of guilt and disgust would make me feel ill. I would ask myself on a regular basis- ‘surely this isn't a healthy way to live?'... Now after years of refining..
