First up is Hannah Barrett, also known as Yoga Girl London. She’s a mother of two who’s passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga. Following a stressful finance career and a tough childbirth experience that led to post-natal depression, she turned to yoga and it transformed her life. Now, Hannah has published an eBook and maintains a toned physique that sparks curiosity about her daily diet.
A typical day of meals for Hannah includes:
– Breakfast (7:30am): Buckwheat pancakes
– Lunch (12pm): Poached eggs and boiled sweet potato
– Mid-afternoon snack (3pm): An apple or pear
– Dinner (7pm): Veggie stir-fry with cashew nuts
– After-dinner snack (8:30pm): Dark chocolate
Hannah loves simple and quick meals. Most of her food is unprocessed, and she’s a fan of fresh, wholesome ingredients. Lunch is often eggs, which she and her daughter enjoy for their protein content and ease of preparation. She believes in listening to her body, avoiding dietary restrictions, and treating herself occasionally without guilt.
Next, we have Laura Hoggins, known as @laurabiceps. Laura is a personal trainer, podcast host, and head of the London fitness community Lifted. She found happiness through sustainable lifestyle changes and identifies high protein as essential for her muscle repair and energy levels.
