Lauren Fisher is a college student and a CrossFit competitor, but her Instagram profile and photos have a remarkable girl-next-door feel to them. Being as popular as she is, and still keeping that kind of feeling to your web presence is a great achievement - it is what makes her so much more relatable to her 690,000 social media followers. She also uploads some silly/funny pics in addition to her fitness photos.
A typical breakfast for Lauren includes fish oil tablets (for the added Omega-3 benefit), 2 eggs + 1 egg white + 2 chicken breakfast sausage trader joe's or turkey bacon + lots of veggies + oatmeal. For lunch, she has 4 ounces meat or fish (I try to stay away from red meat because it's high in fats, but might eat it 1 to 2 times a week) + 1 serving rice + guacamole + veggies or salad.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
