First off I would like to blog about one thing I am so passionate about.
BEING VEGAN
Now, I am not your typical candidate for this type of diet. I was raised on RED meat and I mean hardcore steaks. I hated vegetables, tofu, soy all of those foods that I adore now. I have known vegetarians and vegans and frowned upon their choices because I could never grasp why anyone could or would choose to stop eating meat. Another thing was dairy products now how could ANYONE give up ice cream, yogurt and cheese now, that was just crazy to me!
Than all of a sudden it dawned on me! I was always skinny never fat but never felt healthy. I danced 3-5 days a week and loved working out so why was it that I never felt satisfied and completely healthy? I endured on a cruise with my family to Mexico and met a dietician who answered all of these questions. He did not force the vegan diet on anybody but did explain the hormones and all of the horrible chemicals that are forced into animals that than enter our bodies. I became enlightened and realized that eating even a bit of ice cream was like licking rubber off of my shoe! I also learned that the hormones in cows creates man boobs and fat onto our bodies!
I than transformed myself on January 1st of this year and became an official Vegetarian! I do not recommend anyone to go right into being vegan because you must explore your options and plus its hard on anybody's body to adjust right away. I than read the famous book "Skinny Bitch." My mom actually got it for herself to learn how to lose weight. I than read the book, quickly finished it, and than I decided would become a vegan!
I wanted to flush out all of the horrible toxins that for the last nineteen years I had digested and enjoyed. To learn that chemicals were clogging my liver disgusted me! No wonder all of America is obese! The liver is a vital part in our digestive systems and to clog it with fattening hydrogenated oils and chemicals is just horrid. Plus how can you eat something that has been shoved with millions of its kind and no where to use the restroom! Can you imagine how diseased fish is?
I hope one day our food industry will see how Europe treats produce and food. They naturally grow everything and treat there animals somewhat kindly. They rarely use any type of chemicals and ban any chemical that causes any type of cancer or disease. Even our fruit is distraught! How is every single "naturally" grown orange perfectly round and the perfect color orange? And, have you ever seen a banana so large? This is not because the farmer grew it perfect it is because of the horrid chemicals they put in the fruit to make it more consumer "friendly." Always buy fruit that looks natural not the prettiest fruit in the bunch because you are meant to eat natural foods.
As time goes on I have found many great products that make up for my crazy cravings for ice cream and candies!
This is my first BLOG ever so I am just getting used to this. I love to tell others my interests and different things I have learned so please understand these will just get better as I learn more about the blogging world!
