Want To Know What To Eat To Lose Weight Fast?

Sometimes I realize that I’ve eaten so poorly at the end of the day and it scares me so much. What if my health slowly slips away because I don’t know how to eat properly? Because that’s what it is - I don’t know how. I don’t know what I should be eating and I don’t know how to make it. I don’t know how to find the motivation to make something and I feel appalled at the idea of eating another bowl of mac and cheese.

I’ve eaten so little since I’ve been home because I feel so powerless over my food. What’s in the fridge has very little to do with me beyond requests I may make and dinner is not my plan. I know I didn’t take the initiative at the apartment to eat properly, but I still did better than I am now because I felt more responsible for my food than I do here. I open the fridge and see nothing that interests me, so I just close it and sit back down.

I know that somewhere there’s a book or website that can help me, but I don’t know how to find it. I need new and exciting suggestions for food that go step-by-step and ease me into the concept of cooking. Lunch is my enemy, because I hate the standard sandwich, hot dog or mac and cheese. But what the fuck else is there to eat for lunch?

After a talk with the wife, more research and a documentary later I have decided to try going partly raw vegan for a month and see how it goes.

FOOD BLOG!!

I finally made a blog exclusively dedicated to food!!! I don’t think this means I’m...

"Watching the movie Food Inc. As of this second, I’m changing my diet from being 50% vegan to..."

“Watching the movie Food Inc. As of this second, I’m changing my diet from being 50% vegan to 90% vegan (sushi & fine cheese being the exception). I already no longer eat beef, pork, or fish but as of this second, chicken if off my menu as well. Fucking food industry, how do you work?!”

- Myself.

Taco and tofu. This looks fucking divine.

49 REASONS WHY I AM A VEGETARIAN

[Source: The Whole Earth Vegetarian Catalogue]

#2 Personal Health

 

1. No deficiencies. There is no nutrient necessary for optimal human functioning which cannot be obtained from plant food.
2. High fat plus cholesterol. Animal foods are higher in fat than most plant foods, particularly saturated fats. Plants do not contain cholesterol.
3. “Carb” deficient. Meat is deficient in carbohydrates, particularly the starches which are so essential to proper health.
4. Vitamin deficient. Except for the b-complex, meat is largely deficient in vitamins.
5. Agricultural Chemicals. Being higher on the food chain, animal foods contain far higher concentrations of agricultural chemicals than plant foods, including pesticides, herbicides, etc.
6. Exposure to livestock drugs. There are over 20,000 different drugs, including sterols, antibiotics, growth hormones and other veterinary drugs that are given to livestock animals. These drugs are consumed when animal foods are consumed. The dangers herein, in secondary consumption of antibiotics, are well documented.
7. Pathogenic Microorganisms. There are a host of bacteria and viruses, some quite dangerous, that are common to animals. When I eat meat, I eat the organisms in the meat. Micro-organisms are present in plant foods too, but their number and danger to human health is by no means comparable to that of those in meat.
8. Worms and other Parasites. Ditto on # 13!
9. Shelf life differential. Plant foods last longer than animal foods. Try this experiment: Leave out a head of lettuce and a pound of hamburger for 1 day, which will make you sick?
10. Organoleptic Indications of Pathenogens. Plant foods give tell-tale signs of “going bad”. Ever hear of someone getting sick from “bad broccoli”?
11. Heart Disease. Meat eating increases the risk of heart disease, this country’s #1 killer. The correlation is an epidemiological fact.
12. Cancer prevention. Of all the natural cancer prevention substances found: vitamin C, B-17, hydroquionenes, beta carotene, NDGA, - none has been found to be animal derived. Yet most meats, when cooked, produce an array of benzenes and other carcinogenic compounds. Cancer is infinitely easier to prevent than cure. Soybeans contain protease inhibitor, a powerful anticancer compound. You won’t find it in useful quantities in animal based food.
13. Disease Inducing. The correlation between meat consumption and a wide range of degenerative diseases is well founded and includes…..
14. Osteoporosis
15. Kidney Stones and Gallstones
16. Diabetes
17. Multiple Sclerosis
18. Arthritis
19. Gum disease
20. Acne. Aggravated by animal food.
21. Obesity. Studies confirm that vegetarians tend to be thinner than meat eaters. Obesity is considered by doctors to be a disease within itself.
22. Intestinal Toxemia. The condition of the intestinal flora is critical to overall health. Animal products putrefy the colon.
23. Transit time. Wholesome food travels quickly through the “G.I” tract, leavinglittle time to spoil and incite disease within the body.
24. Fiber deficient. Fiber absorbs unwanted, excess fats; cleans the intestines; provides bulk and aids in peristalsis. Plant food is high in fiber content; meat, poultry and dairy products have none.
25. Body wastes. Food from animals contain their waste, including adrenaline, uric and lactic acid, etc., Before adding ketchup, the biggest contributors to the “flavor profile” of a hamburger are the leftover blood and urine.
26. Excess protein. The average American eats 400% of the RDA for protein. This causes excess nitrogen in the blood that creates a host of long-term health problems.
27. Longevity. To increase ones risk of getting degenerative disease means decreasing ones chance to live a naturally long healthy life. Huzas and other peoples with large centenarian populations maintain lifestyles that are relatively meat free.
28. Well Being. I just feel better since “giving up” meat and becoming vegetarian.
