A little bit about Daniel

I've been an elite athlete for 8 years having played within the NRL during this period of time I trained and played with and against some of the greatest players and athletes in the game from 2002-2012. Including Grand final (2010) and semi final football throughout.

I am qualified as a master trainer with certifications III and IV. I was forced into early retirement due to a sever neck injury, instead of being defeated by this set back I used this as an opportunity to better myself and excel in what I love to do, which is to be a leading force within the health and fitness industry.

Participation in as many types of physical fitness was a goal i set for myself to further my understanding of what works best within this industry. Crossfit courses, Power Lifting, Olympic lifting courses, Muai Thai Training, Gymnastic Strength Training to name a few.

Competing in the NRL, one of the most brutal sports, I learnt the importance of Injury prevention, injury rehab, time management and creating a effective routine for Training and Nutrition.

I pride myself on clean eating and have furthered my eduction on how important the correct foods are not just for Fitness and Health but for optimal performance in everyday life.

Studying and furthering my eduction is something I find crucial in a industry thats forever inventing "Fads" "5 minute Abs" and "Super fat loss in 60 seconds" type of theories. I pride myself on delivering and discovering proven factual evidnece for my amazing audience and can't wait to collaborated with Dom to bring everything I know to everyone through this amazing health and fitness blog.

I am now dedicated to helping clients reach there desired results while at the same time educating them on every aspect of Healthy Living. Ive now dedicated my journey to teaching and sharing my passion for educating everyone on Healthy Living and Fitness.

We are so happy to take everyone into our world and share all our passion and knowledge. We will be updating this blog regularly and will have many more exciting projects coming up soon that we can't wait to share with you all xx

Healthy snack, meal and drink ideas

Healthy snack, meal and drink ideas

You are what you eat!

As many of you already know I have a strong passion for health and fitness.
One of the most important things in life I believe is looking after and treasuring your body.

Food is magic, it helps us look after ourselves from the inside out.
I'm always creating new things in the kitchen and surprising my clients, friends and family with how AMAZING healthy food can taste. 

Eating healthy is not as hard as some may think.
Here are a few of my tips to get you started

• Make sure you buy good produce (local markets are a great idea and will save you a lot of money) also buying in bulk at the start of the week is a good option.
• Eating raw as often as possible reduces the loss of vitamins and minerals that occur when food has been heated or cooked. Nutrients that are the essential fuel for our bodies.
• Look up healthy recipes to get inspiration. This can be done through google searches, recipie books, or even scrolling through others instagram pages and finding GREAT inspirational images that a lot of people will share their recipies. Another idea is to search hashtags #cleaneating #healthyeating and so on and hundreds of pictures will come up to inspire you Check out my insta for frequent healthy ideas username 'dominiqueletoullec'
• Experiment with different recipes you'll find and create your own healthy twist on an existing recipe.

Here are a few of my recent creations I'd like to share with you. 

Live a healthy and happy life!

Amazing healthy sweet treat

Recipe

1. Get all your blueberries and place them on your skewers

2. Roll your blueberry sticks in yogurt (make sure to get a good coating)

3. Coat each stick with sprinkling of cinnamon (and for those who want some extra sweetness) brown sugar

4. Place in the freezer

5. ENJOY!

Fruit pops
Recipe

GREAT treat for the kids, and a guilt free treat for dessert
1. Ingredients - With these ones I used mango, strawberries and coconut water 
(Explore and use as many different fruits as you can desire)
If its hard for you to find natural coconuts I recommend H2Coco (for more info on this coconut water check out my previous blog post and click on this link. http://dominiqueletoullec.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/coconut-water.html
2. Sometimes I blend the fruit and then put it into the pop mould, othertimes I will chop up fruit and add to a cup of coconut water and then pour into the moulds
3. Freeze
4. ENJOY!

Fridge creation!

I literally used what was left in the fridge and created this HEALTHY, SUPERFOOD treat

1. Cut up slices of cucumber, mix in a bowl avocado and cottage cheese, squeeze of lemon and a little salt and pepper, place drops onto of the cucumber with a small piece of sun dried tomato

2. Mix together lentils (make sure to make your own, very easy just boil them up on the stove), red cabbage, avocado, basil, tomatoes, baby spinach and chilli tuna

What superfood creation can you put together from the ingredients in your fridge?

GREEN WATER

1. Alkaline water

2. Chlorophyll (Tablespoon)

3. Fresh chopped up lemons (Squeeze them in first then leave in)

4. Fresh chopped up cucumber

Its important to drink at least 2 Litres of water a day, introducing green water is not only great for you but it's another way to up your water intake daily

These are just a few simple ideas to give you some inspiration. Dont be scared to try different things. 
Healthy food IS delicious, just be creative and you will create flavour. 

HAPPY EATING & DRINKING
