i came from a world of fast food, easy is better thinking, sodas, meats and more meats, few veggies, lots of sugar, plenty of processed, lots of cheese and lack of sleep. i didn't change over-night but now i am getting my priorities straight. taking the right steps and not looking back. not following the "crowd" or being compared to "normal" American normal is by no means anything positive to go by.
i love my LEAP meals so far and am loving Whole Foods local grocery store. Organic is best! people say "organic food is too expensive and eating healthy is pricy and hard" being sick is expensive and hard to deal with. instead of spending your money on material thinks that will probably be used a few times i'd rather spend my mula on quality products to go in my belly. understandable if you can't afford it but if you can afford a $3 bag of Doritos and you can't afford a pound of bananas for $0.68 then its choice at that point.
HIDDEN DANGERS
Do you know what chemicals your ingesting and what they do? what your feeding your children? what if i had a bowl of something to feed your or your kid...i'm pretty sure you'd ask what is it? i then would say this, that and a few chemicals. would you consume it? why is it that you don't do the same on your own?
do you know what diet sodas really contains?do you know what preservatives do to your body?
how does your body deal with chemicals?
do you feel good after eating junk or processed foods (bet you don't) if you do then something is not right and if is normal then you might be a zombie.
WHAT TO DO
start somewhere! drink more water. reach for an apple instead of a snickers bar. you'll save money too and feel much better...BELIEVE ME i was where most of you are.
WHAT I DO
- everything organic or as much as possible (read why organic is ideal)
- chicken to be free-range/eggs to be the same
- beef to be organic and grass-fed
- sprout seeds
- soak nuts
- drink lots of water (add some lemon for alkalizing effect and cleansing help)
- juice juice juice!! best buys are Breville Juicers, Jack Lalanne Power Juicers, Omega Juicers
- make sure your getting your omegas
- limit your protein intake to 15-20% (unless your building/restoring muscle then ok but if your an average human with a low amount of activity then it just doesn't make sense to eat tons of protein daily plus leave that space for your greens, veggies, limited healthy fats and water. look at healthy cultures around the world....packed with greens and a small amount of protein)
- be active or exercise a few times a week
- keep your skin stimulated (massage, exfoliate, detox)
- cook or prepare meals at home
- roast or slow cook instead of frying, pan cooking
- avoid processed foods and microwavable meals
- avoid eating out and indulging in alcohol
