I love documentaries! They are my favorite thing to watch and as you may already know...health ones are my favorite. I cannot soak up their information fast enough. But, very rarely, does one change the way I live my life. Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead prompted me to buy a juicer and now Vegucated: The Documentary has inspired me to dive into the world of veganism. I live what I call a Pegan lifestyle anyways now, which is vegetables with small amounts of protein, but it wasnt the nutrition facts that have changed my way of thinking, it was the humane impact. The documentary talked alot about factory farms and how animals are really treated. So, short of knowing the farm that your protein, eggs, and dairy come from...you are probably eating food from a factory farm. This film was disturbing but in the best way possible. So, I have chosen to do the 30 day vegan challenge and after that I will reasses where and how much animal protein fits into my life. I still plan on living what i call my prana plate. Just getting my protein from different sources.
Day #1: I prepped many foods for the week this morning. Here is a list:
pinto bean, rice, tabboleah salad
pinto beans
cannelini beans
asian slaw
sauteed asparagus
sauteed mushrooms
salad
spiced lentils and kale
I had a smoothie for breakfast, mushroom/asparagus/ tabouleh salad for lunch, and lentils/sweet potato/salad for dinner. Vegan dark chocolate for a sweet snack.
