I have decided to begin this new blog because when I went on my detox and healthier lifestyle regime people kept telling me how horrible they thought it must be to have to cut out so many foods. (see http://themindandtimes.blogspot.com/ May 11th-20th) I began taking pictures of what I was eating along with my food journal to show everyone how well I was eating and how awesome the good food could be.
Since beginning my new lifestyle (and honestly not following it buy about 70% of the time...I really want to make it to 80%+ of the time) I have lost over 20 lb. That is in about a month and without (which is my laziness) exercise. Not that I am condoning my lack of exercising, but I want to show people that your food intake really does affect your waistline (mine started at a measurement of 49 inches and is currently 44 inches). To illustrate and comprehend how much that actually is you really need to get a plastic of fabric tape measure and make a circle with it to each measurement. It is a huge difference!
I am not going to give my diet here since I already did it on my other blog. What I am going to do here is post some of the recipes I have been making up for the meals I am eating. When I say making up, some are renditions of other recipes but made healthier, while others I just pulled out of my ass with the food I had available. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures along with it. I will try my best with the photos. Since I cook daily, this should be updated quite often, but I do sometimes cook the same things so it will not be a daily blog. I hope you enjoy and use my recipes and obtain success in your own personal health. As a warning, if you chose to change the recipes and use unhealthy ingredients, you will miss the whole point (think of using vegetable oil instead of olive oil...bad bad bad).
