Learn how to fuel your body for optimal health.

Ashy Bines is podcasting – in her two-piece workout gear.

It's freaky Friday," she says in her Instagram Story. In another one, she and Tijana have a healthy breakfast – green juice, sourdough toast with pesto, sundried tomato, and egg. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

No Processed Sugar​

Ashy avoids processed sugar, "like the plague!" she reveals in one of her eating plans. "It is NOT GOOD FOR YOU! In fact, processed sugars are completely empty of any benefit to our body. Therefore look for food that is high in the nutrients that your body craves. *Side Note: The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch."

Good Fats – Avocado, Nuts, Oil​

"Educate yourself as much as you can on good fats versus bad fats," Ashy continues. "We need to eat good fats such as avocado, nuts and oily sh to give our bodies access to vital Omega acids and essential vitamins, but need to avoid trans fats that influence all types of health problems. Olive oil is also a great fat when used cold, but steer clear of vegetable oil."

Clean, Whole Foods​

Ashy's diet consists of "clean, whole foods," to operate the body at its fat-burning best. "Each one of my meals combines a balanced serving of vital carbohydrates, protein, and good fats. Although I do outline the importance of limiting our carbohydrate intake, it is important to note that I also choose particular carbohydrates to eat. Complex carbohydrates are an important source of energy & we couldn't operate properly without them. They hold vitamins & minerals, and can be found in milk, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, and beans for example," she says. She also makes sure to eat a lot of protein, which "plays an important role in all its forms. It is needed by our body to repair, rebuild, replenish and maintain healthy muscles and organs. Every single one of our cells requires protein to operate, and it is particularly important in kick-starting our liver functions and controlling our metabolism."

​Upside Down Pyramid Meals

Ashy designs her meals like an upside-down pyramid. "A common misconception" is that "our largest meal should be dinner," Ashy maintains. "This is when our bodies our slowing down and food begins to 'sit' in our bodies, rather than being transformed into the energy it needs. It is an even bigger misconception that skipping breakfast altogether will help us lose weight. When our bodies are most active is when we should be feeding them with the highest amounts of nutrients – ie. before we start the day!I like to look at my eating day like an upside-down pyramid. I start my day with a big breakfast & work gradually into smaller meals by the time dinner arrives."

​Small, Frequent Meals

Ashy is all about small, frequent meals. She feeds herself "every 2-3 hours" to keep her metabolism going throughout the day. "If you do not eat, your body will go into starvation mode & will actually STORE FAT!" she says.
