I wanted to write a quick post on how adopting a gluten free vegan diet (plant based) change my mind, body and spirit.
This isn't done yet and it needs revision.
My
interest in a vegan diet began when I started taking a Hinduism class
in January 2012. I was advised that this course, if you could fit it
into your schedule, was one of the best ones around. This course was
taught by Prof. George, in the theology department. The Hindu culture,
coming from little that I knew about it, was always intriguing to me
because of their interesting lifestyle (music, dance, attire, and
intellectual level) and so I decided to learn more. What I learned was
that they practice a whole different lifestyle over in India, including
diet and how they practice medicine (Ayurvedic) and because of this,
they are often healthier.
One of the biggest things in life is remembering this key piece of advice: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
The
more you know about anything in life actually makes you the wiser
person. You know why? When you don't know something, you are unaware of
all the intricacies about that specific thing. Being ignorant is not
bliss. People get diseases because they do not know that things are
harmful to them, such as inflammatory causing reagents (which can
include but not be limited to: food, drugs, hormonal imbalances, and
mineral/vitamin deficiencies).
I briefly will state
what has helped me change my life from being ~150 pounds to a slim, but
not YET sculpted, 135 pounds in ~2 months. That is 15lbs in 60 days.
The best part is, I am just beginning to have time to work out like I
want. Imagine when I have the summer to train fully, every day, and not
slip up because of stressful moments. Anyways, I was talking on a rant
to myself...motivation!
The things that helped me lose 15lb in 60 days:
Going Vegan.
Going Gluten Free.
I
also started moving: dancing, singing, crawling on the floor, picking
up sticks in the yard, doing laundry....etc. Something little every day.
The summer is approaching and what a better way to enjoy the nice
weather than with a little bit out sunshine and activity.
Do it all, especially incorporating you FAMILY....Even babies. They love the food, love the activity
These are my tips. I will update photos when I can find them...I'm apparently missing many photos at this present time :(
Good luck and let me know how this works for you!!
