I was a vegetarian for 11 years. After that I was on a high carb low fat diet for years another 10 years. None of these diets worked for me long term. As a vegetarian, I wasn't getting enough protein and had very little muscle mass. On low fat high carb, I was constantly hungry and had to do an insane amount of exercise to stay thin.
In May 2009, I switched to a Low Carb High Fat Whole Food...
But if you take the right foods, your body is saying that it is time to burn fat. In calorie shifting diet is good, you need to eat four times a day. You see the ice. Calorie shifting diet is unique among the flood of low-fat diets, low carb, low calorie out there today. I may need to pause now. Is there anywhere masters pinpoint the best metabolism fuel information? The food itself is not...
I strive to write my blog with wit, warmth and passion. My passions? Food, exercise and randonmess.
I strongly believe that eating real, whole foods -- consisting of lots of vegetables -- is the key to health. Highly processed yet "low fat" or "low carb" foods will leave us wanting more and turning to less healthy choices to fulfill our needs. I also believe that processed...
I have been on the roller coaster diet for 25 years. Now, I'm finally going for a lifestyle change; more veggies, less fat, less fast food. I'm tired of "I'll start on Monday or tomorrow." And I'm tired of not telling myself that I don't care anymore because I do care. This weight has really taken it's toll on my self esteem, which wasn't that great to begin...
I began my vegan journey back in April of 2000. I have experimented with a raw vegan diet since 2002. I have tried both the high fat and low fat approach, and also a fruitarian approach. I have done some juice fasts for a total of 76 days.
My passions are three-fold: (1) be in good health, (2) contribute to making the world a better place, and (3) travel to the far ends of the earth. I work for an international development institution and my job (and a diplomatic passport) take me to places like Tajikistan, Dubai, Sarajevo and Samarkand. But walking in the steps of Genghis Khan and Tamarlane can takes it toll: I rely on exercise...
I am a professional muralist in the San Francisco Bay area. I used to be extremely athletic and I am now trying to keep my health while working. I am also interested in homeopathy. My work keeps me standing all day, and driving long distances. I do yoga every morning for the past 16 years, but I get very few hours or opportunities to exercise.
I cook the best foods I can afford, and I...
I am Harini, a working homemaker, married to a supportive spouse and blessed with two wonderful children who keep my adrenalin levels soaring and my batteries charged. I love doing a lot of things and I like doing them in a healthy manner.
I am a practising vegan since two years except for my addiction to tea and coffee which I am trying to get over.
I cook and bake...
My move to a plant-based diet came primarily for health reasons. By making the transition to a vegan diet, I have been able to dramatically improve my health. I have a blog where I share recipes and ideas about living a healthier life. I hope my journey will encourage others to make the transition, even if it’s in little steps. My recipes are easy, delicious and a lot of them are low...
