My friends are good at keeping me accountable. Even over Twitter.
Speaking of that, yesterday kicked off one week of going Vegan. I've done vegan before and I blogged about it, here. I also did a 2 week stretch last summer. Autumn and I are doing it together, this time!
Why am I going vegan, you ask? It's not for ethical reasons, purely health. Just like in exercise, it's good to shock your body with food since most weight loss comes from diet alone. Women my age are supposed to get around two servings (3-4oz) of red meat a week. The rest should be from lean, white proteins like chicken and fish. I don't eat a lot of meat in general considering I live by myself and it doesn't make sense to go buy giant portions of steak. I have found with weight loss, taking out dairy especially helps drop the pounds. And dairy products are where I struggle the most. I love me some Greek yogurt with honey.
I encourage everyone to try going vegan for a week. It makes me feel lighter and I have more energy since I'm not being bogged down with cheeses and meat. If you're going for weight loss purposes, make sure you're eating plenty of veggies and fruits. Yes, vegan bread is easy to find but won't exactly help you drop the weight.
I plan on documenting this week just like last time and will do a re-cap at the end of the week.
Happy Wednesday!
That's my tweet! Awesome! Also, what app do you use to put pictures together? Like in the photo of the jewelry you got last week.
ReplyDeleteI'm contemplating a blog where I blog and not just repost, so a blogspot blog. Do you think this is a good idea? I'm not sure why I'm not texting you this.
