sugar, go away!

Hello everyone!
So, I'm not too sure about eating dairy, and if it is considered to be "clean" or not.

I suppose if I were to buy organic milk, than that would be considered "clean", or if I were to buy "natural" yogurt, that would be considered "clean" as well.

You may ask yourself, what is a "clean" diet like?
Everyone seems to have their own definition of "clean" eating. Some people consider it just being that you consume dairy, veggies, protein, complex carbs, fruit and water.

Well, you see, there is A LOT more to eating "clean" than you think!

To begin, there are many food products that get away with being "clean", because the product may have a "whole wheat" food label onto of the packaging, or maybe the food product will read the words "all natural ingredients", so people may assume that this food product is good for them.
There is more truth to all of this than you may think, boys and girls.

Have you ever actually read your ingredients in the food you are eating?
What is aspartame? ( its horrible for youre body, look it up. )
Why is my bread that I am buying at the super market made with high frutose corn syrup ( sugar that is bad for you. ).

Its time to get smart about the ingredients you are putting into your body!!
I know, I know, to many of you who are just starting out on your clean eating journey, you may think that reading the ingredient list is now an extra item on your todo list, but in all honesty, not trying to be dramatic, but you are saving you, and your loved one or ones lives by looking at that ingredient list. Chances are, you will not know what half of the ingredients are that you are consuming on the regular.
And if you think you do know what something is, but you still might wonder about it, please, LOOK IT UP. Chances are you will be really informed and very SHOCKED about what the food companies are getting away with to put into our food products.

anyway, sorry for this off rant that I just had!
ADHD ALERT.
any who, let me let you know what my CLEAN EATING is....
clean eating to me, is eating any food in its natural, purist form that it was grown or killed for ( i like meat. )
If a food product has more than a handful of ingredients in it, chances are I will not put it in or around my mouth. :0

and you know what, I honestly feel as if I am born again on earth once I started eating clean!
good bye nasty head aches, food comas, sugar rushes, addicting like behaviors, and so much more!

Food additives ( ingredients and chemicals that are added to our food to hold it together) should not exist! If i have to eat something that is made from chemicals, I should not be eating that!!

so, finally back to dairy, I was reading my moms greek yogurt nutrition label...
and I was looking at the sugar content, 21grams of sugar, doesnt seem like too much.
Yet, it is 21 grams of sugar OUT OF the 25 grams of carbs, 21 OF THOSE CARBS ARE PURE SUGAR.
that is not healthy for you!!!!
You can find better, natural ways to consume vitamin D ( if thats why you need to get your greek yogurt )
Sugar is addicting, its like crack, and you ALWAYS will want and crave more.

clean it up and out of your diet people, see what happens.

xoxo.
peace and love

and goodnight hugs!

Hey guys so this blog is for anyone dealing with learning disabilities and minor depressions.
I have ADHD.. And I love myself when I'm off my medicine because I am just, well, myself! So this goes back to my pink lady ( it is appreciation day , don't forget!!) back in early 2011 is when I wrote this entry.....

Now I'm not going to bore anyone with what the entry said... But the basic just of it was how I've noticed that when I live a "natural" foodstyle ( ate all natural foods; fruits, veggies, chicken, no preservatives , exc) is when I found that my focus was no only better than my fatter cheese and fatter milk diet, but my energy and happiness had sky rocketed. So of course I chose to further my education..... ( do more research)

Alright! So all you guys out there who have some type of learning disability or disorder... Fear not! Just please take two weeks to complete this new diet and we can get the show on the road to success!! ( I will add the two weeks challenge by Wednesday... )

- so!!! In honor of my "little pink book", I will be filling you guys in on my three rules and regulations!!

1. First options and first choices to put in your mouth before a meal should always be forv( fruits or veggies!) !! This way, if you are going to eat kind of unhealthy, you are at least getting your fruits or veggies in!!! Better than nothing!
2. If you are going to eat unhealthy, make sure that you aren't ALONE!
*tip* it's always better to save it for special events ; birthdays, anniversaries, special dates, family get togethers, you get it!
3. Exercise daily! Swim, bike ride, run, walk, jump, weights, yoga, Pilates , play out door games, heck even play with your dog!

Now y'all.. I know and you both know that Rome wasn't built in a day. If you slowly change lifestyle choices, you will see success!! :D

I was 160 at my highest.. My lowest I've been 120. Currently I am happy at 134. I honestly don't do this life style for the weight loss. I do it because it helps my mind and my body and soul!!!
Any comments or questions please leave them or message me!!!
Thank you guys so much and enjoy your evening!
