Now that the eggnog and other heavy holiday meals are behind us, we could all use a little re-tightening around our waist. Even if you were a good little healthy eater during the holidays, chances are you were less active than your usual self.
Going vegetarian is a recent tried and tested factor to losing weight; even celebrities have been doing it. As long as your healthcare professional OK's a major diet change, you're sure to become a healthier you both on the inside and out if you eat less meat, go vegetarian...or vegan!
TOXINS IN, WEIGHT IN:
Environmental toxins have been shown to make weight loss a difficult task. We all have toxins. We're exposed to so many environmental toxins in a day that it's impossible to find anyone without harmful toxins settled in their bodies-- even newborns! But some of us have been exposed to more than others.
So if you're eating healthy and exercising but still aren't noticing expected weight loss in a reasonable amount of time, one reason may be the affects of toxins that are overpowering your body's natural physiological systems. You can contact a medical expert to have your toxin levels checked, most likely something a naturopathic doctor will be more apt to do than a conventional medical practitioner who does not believe in the connection of what you eat to how you feel.To reduce your exposure to toxins while increasing the nutritional benefits of what you're eating, choose organic: Organic produce are laced with chemicals that can have long-lasting physiological effects on your body. All organic foods, even organic eggs, are a healthier option for your body by being healthier "versions" of themselves.
IT'S A BIRD. IT'S A PLANE. IT'S...SUPER-YOU:
Who doesn't like feeling powerful? Well, when you choose to eat a vegetarian meal, your simple action will have powerful results: Choosing a pecan almond falafel in lieu of a beef or chicken dinner will not only help provide nutrients to your body with fewer bad fats, but it will also help keep unbelievable amounts of greenhouse gasses out of our atmosphere and tons of polluting manure from polluting our streams, lakes and groundwater.
As this Sierra Club True Cost of Food information sheet reminds us,
In order to feed the world while conserving
the Earth's increasingly scarce resources, we need to
produce and consume food as efficiently as possible. No
critical examination of how our food choices affect the
planet would be complete without a discussion of the way
we produce and consume meat and other animal-based
products.
Have you noticed considerable weight loss from eating less meat or no meat altogether? We'd love to hear from you on Facebook!
