StyleNest reviewed the Honestly Healthy Fridge Fill – the latest alkaline diet company that everyone is talking about, even Victoria Beckham is hooked.
Over the last few years diets have taken a turn for the better. No more cabbage soup diet, no more 48 hour liquid fasts, thankfully diet brands and consumers are understanding the importance of cleansing and have more understanding of what our body needs and how it functions. Earlier in the year, Victoria Beckham was tweeting and raving about alkaline eating. Since then it’s been the healthy buzz word on everyones lips.
Mrs Beckham had discovered the joys of the alkaline diet through the cookbook Honestly Healthy: Eat With Your Body In Mind, The Alkakile Way. Honestly Healthy, the alkaline diet company is the brainchild of vegetarian chef Natasha Corrett and Harley Street Nutritionist Vicki Edgson. Throughout the book the duo talk you through the diet as well as offering an array of delicious and nutritious recipes.
So what exactly is the alkaline diet? Food groups behave differently in the body – some provide energy (carbohydrates), whilst others are the very rebuilding and repairing blocks of our bodies and brains (proteins) – and yet others feed our neurological systems, regulate our hormones, and protect us against damage and disease (essential fats). How these foods behave in the body is broken down into two classes – acid and alkaline. Our bodies function best when in an overall alkaline state, PH 7.365 and yet much of our current eating trends and diets are very acid-forming in the body, leading to internal stress on the digestive and other systems.
As the pair explain, surprisingly a lemon when digested is alkaline whilst milk becomes acidic. The aim of Honestly Healthy is to help people understand their body better and show you how you can feel at your best all the time, and most importantly without ever having to compromise on taste.
Well it sounds simple enough but starting a new diet, learning new recipes and not making mistakes on what you can and can’t eat can be a task in itself. Thankfully the team at Honestly Healthy understand that we all need a little helping hand and to help you on the road to better living and eating they created the Honestly Healthy Fridge Fill.
The Fridge Fill is a 3 day and 6 day diet plan that is delivered to your door and does exactly what it promises, fills your fridge with delicious alkaline meals.
The Six Day Cleanse aims to get your body in tip-top condition by eliminating cow’s dairy, gluten, wheat, sugar and meat. It sounds extreme but is surprisingly easy to stick to and is truly enjoyable once you get into the swing of it.
Honestly Healthy deliver on Mondays and Thursdays with freshly-prepared, alkaline-friendly veggie and vegan meals. Dishes included vitamin packed juices, soy yoghurt with granola and raspberries (a particular favourite) and smoked tofu and quinoa. With 3 meals, plus snacks and juices one thing you won’t experience is hunger.
The team at HH also host a number of cooking lessons in London to show you how to live a healthy lifestyle. So there’s no excuse not to keep up the good work after your fridge fill is over.
Whilst we’re not sure we could stick to the alkaline diet on a regular basis it’s a great way to cleanse, rebalance your body and learn some new, helpful and healthy eating habits.
All in all the alkaline diet is sensible, healthy and one we would certainly revisit. Honestly Healthy is certainly no fad diet company and their recipe book should be in everyone’s kitchen.
Prices start from just £98.
