What Do You Eat and Drink Daily For Healthy Hair?

[shunta]

This typical day helped me lose 45 lbs in about 6-7 months:

Exercise - 1 hour early am (between 5-7); drink water (Walk Away the Pounds 4-mile walk - I love this!)

Protein shake - I now drink Jay Robb vanilla (8 oz light vanilla soy milk, 1.5 scoops protein, 3/4 dropper of organic vanilla extract, crush ice to snow cone consistency, blend until thick like milk shake w/stick blender)

Breakfast - two whole eggs (Egglands Best w/Omega 3) boiled or scrambled using Pam (sometimes 1 egg with 1/2 egg substitute) (also sometimes I add chopped onions, red pepper, green pepper, and mushrooms)
2 or 3 slices turkey bacon
half apple or pear

Drink water or light cranberry juice (Oceanspray) I never drink with meals and wait at least 30 minutes after to start drinking; fruit herb teas w/splenda

Lunch - usually leftovers from the night before and small salad or sometimes tuna or salmon salad with salad

Dinner - Protein (meat, except pork), two vegetables-usually a green vegetable with mashed cauliflower (add a little fat-free half-n-half and 2% reduced fat cheddar cheese to make fake mashed potatoes-great!) and a small salad (with sprinkle of blue cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts, and light raspberry and walnut dressing)

Friday is pizza night for the kids - I never have more than 2 small slices, but sometimes 1 with a salad

If I do snack, it would be fresh fruit, fresh apple/carrot juice made in juicer (really filling), or nuts/dried fruit mix

Brown rice with dinner rarely (really rare), Barilla plus pasta with tomato/meat sauce occasionally to mix things up a bit, I try a lot of low-carb low-fat recipes from books I have. I really try to keep the carbs low and the fat somewhat low. Low-carb crockpot recipes with chicken/fish/beef, fresh veggies, broth, etc. are great for busy women/mothers. My favorite is curry chicken...chicken, fresh minced garlic, coconut milk (whole or lowfat), chicken broth (fatfree) or boullion cube, curry powder, sliced onion, salt/pepper, cook for 6 hours on low, thicken with xanthum or guar gum (at healthfood store) serve over steamed cauliflower! Awesome!!! My kids/DH love it!

Multivitamin, biotin

Remember: Exercise is key! WATP is great. Start at 1 mile and walk your way up!!! I love the christian-based ones!

OMG I love Leslie and the Walk Away the Pounds workouts. I was just getting ready to do this as soon as I got off this site


Okay, anyway, the only thing I really do that will contribute to healthy hair is pop multivitamins and drink adequate amounts of water.

Where do you buy the milk? It sounds tasty!

Almond milk is the bomb! I find it in the health food section of my local grocery store...many large chain groceries will carry it. You can also find it at health food stores. I drink Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla. It's great in cereal or in my protein drinks.

OT: The supplements/foods listed in my signature are ones I consume daily for healthy hair and body. I also eat lots of fruits and veggies, lean protein, and almost a gallon of water per day. Ooops, and I also take a calcium supplement, because my liquid multi doesn't contain much calcium.
