Recipe Time!

What's something that pretty much EVERYONE loves?! Spaghetti! I know I do. But I always feel like shit after I eat all those damn noodles. I found an awesome recipe by Jennifer Cornbleet and it tastes.. AMAZING. And you wouldn't believe you aren't eating actual spaghetti. :)

Don't be fast to dismiss it just because the video is boring!

Let's talk about MILK!

Why do we drink cow's milk? (I paraphrased some of this from the book Skinny Bitch since I'm horrible at explaining things.)


When a baby is born, it drinks the mother's breast milk (If they're lucky) and it grows from say, 8lbs to a 24lb toddler. By design it's intended to allow for the biggest growth spurt of a person's entire life. And when the mother stops nursing.. the milk dries up and they never nurse ever again..


Cows and most mammals are the same. Their bodies produce milk only when they give birth. BUT there is a major difference! Cows milk, by design, grows a 90-pound calf into a 2000-pound cow over the course of two years. They DOUBLE their birth weight in FORTY-SEVEN DAYS! 


Does that sound like something you're trying to do? We are HUMANS, and they are COWS. (Point made!) That milk was not meant for us! Also we are the only species on this planet that drinks another species' milk, as well as drinking milk beyond childhood. And for those of you trying to get a little something "extra", what you're getting is MUCUS, colds, allergies and a possible growth of bacteria in your intestines that leads to cancer! 


The multibillion dollar Dairy Industry has brilliant marketing and addictive tastes that convince most people and doctors that we need it to grow. 


There have been studies that say milk actually leaches calcium from the body..

If you want milk with your cereal, try some almond, rice, or coconut milk! (I don't recommend soy, myself)


If you need calcium, eat some Kale! If you need vitamin D, take a supplement, get some sun, or eat some mushrooms!


Most people don't think about these things and that's what I'm here for!

FIRST POST! (yay)

I decided to create this account so I can write shit down and remind myself to keep eating well and inspire others to do so! :) Also if someone pisses me off I might want to write about it. If you don’t agree with me.. that’s fine. Just don’t read it.

I was raised as a meat and dairy eater and it wasn’t until I was around 17 that I was introduced to the vegetarian lifestyle. And after that I kept researching and found out that I actually should be vegan! Now, you might be afraid to think about a big lifestyle change such as this one because everybody and their momma says,“THAT’S NOT HEALTHY! YOU NEED YOUR PROTEIN! YOU NEED TO EAT MEAT!” Or “MEN EAT MEAT ‘CAUSE IT’S MANLY” Why? Because it’s how most of us were brought up, along with our parents and grandparents. Just because it’s been a routine thing, doesn’t make it right. Meat and dairy might have been keeping us alive, (Most of the time) but it has also been keeping us sick. AND OK! I’m not a doctor and “I don’t know anything.” All I know is what I have learned and experienced for myself. And most doctors won’t encourage you to eat better to help your illnesses because they say it won’t make a difference. Let’s prove them wrong. 

What many people in our society don’t realize is that it actually matters what we eat. It should be the fuel that keeps us thriving and not just the “food” that’s keeping us alive and feeling like crap every day. A lot of the “foods” that we have been buying for years and think is healthy.. really isn’t. Many of the health problems and diseases that people have developed over the years is due to their poor diet. So what does that mean? EAT BETTER and it will most likely go away! Your body will take in the good shit and heal itself! It’s 
definitely worth a try.

I, myself mostly eat whole/raw foods. Fruits, Veggies, Nuts, and Seeds. I know that probably doesn’t sound appetizing or fulfilling but it really is if you find creative ways to eat them. THEY ARE ACTUALLY REAL FOODS! Most of the “food” around us aren’t even food! They’re “food-like” products that have been modified like crazy to make us like it more. (And not in a good way) If it took a science lab to create it.. you probably shouldn’t eat it.

And sure…I’m not going to lie to you. I love me some sour patch kids. But when I talk about it and remind myself that it isn’t real food, I don’t have the desire to eat it.
