Wow! We went through 7 days already!

I have been getting great feedback about the challenge! It’s great to see a simple idea change lives. I’ve lost 6.5 lbs. in the 7 day period and I wasn’t even trying to lose weight. We really are what we eat. Only being able to eat 1 heavy carb, like potatoes or pasta per day makes a difference, even with me already being a Vegan.

Now, my whole life’s goal is not to make everyone in the world a Vegan, but to cleanse your bodies of some of the toxins that get put into it without us even knowing. There is a reason Vegans have lower risk of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, and so on. Its natures cures. Food in its natural state is the most effective medicine.

Juice: Concentrate or Not from Concentrate

I drink orange juice almost every morning, it is my juice of choice. My husband has grape juice almost every morning, that's his juice of choice.

Questions were being asked on some show I was watching about fruit juice, what's the best juice to drink concentrated or unconcentrated … Is it healthy? Is sugar added? In my head I started defending juice ... Yes, it's healthy. I love it, so if it's natural, how could it not be healthy? I’m talking 100% juice not some sugary drink.

I now wanted to know which of the two types is healthiest. Shopping for my morning orange juice, I had to decide which was best for my family!

Trump, Hillary, & Diets … 3 Things you don’t want to talk about

Hey Family,

Did I get your attention. I meant what I said. I’m absolutely not gonna talk about Donald Trump. I’m not gonna mention Hillary Clinton either. I’m not even going to say the word DIET (well only to explain why this is not one, stick with me!) Cooking with Que does not do diets!! WE EAT TO LIVE.

So before we start our 357 Vegan Fast, we have to get our hearts ready and our minds right. This is not a diet. I don’t even want to call it a diet, because the word “DIET” freaks people out. Calling it a diet means that we just wanna try this and if it doesn’t work we are gonna just try something else.

Drink water much?

#FoodCravings, Are you listening to what your Body is telling you?

When your body gives you signals do you pay attention to them?

Do you know what they are?

I am a vegan and allergic to dairy (nice right?). I found out as an adult. I used to be sick all the time. The copays and hospital visits were driving me crazy!! When they found out that I had sarcoidosis, through a lung biopsy - It. Changed. Everything. On top of that they learned that multiple reactions were occurring due to an egg and dairy allergy. Do you know how many things have dairy in it? It was even in the pills that several doctors were prescribing. Now, I pay attention to everything. I read the labels. I pay attention to what I put inside of my body, I know when it's lacking something.

Alright fam,

It's been on my mind to say what everyone else is thinking.

It is absolutely NOT OK, to EAT LIKE CRAP

EAT TO LIVE!!!!

You are what you eat, and because of that I want to make it a point to give you the information that you need to begin. People make it complicated and it’s not. It is a Mindset. You have to see yourself eating differently. You actually have to make the effort. Know what you are buying at the grocery store. Know if you are drinking enough water. Are you listening to what your body is telling you?

Words of Wisdom: Stay Close to the Perimeter

I say this because along the perimeter of every grocery store lies all of your fresh, preservative free foods. I’m talking food in its natural form. Not canned. Not made to last forever. Just the fresh stuff. Think about it.
Where are the fresh fruits and fresh veggies at your local market. Right on the outskirts of the store! Fresh meats? Around the outside. Fish? You know where this is heading right? There is a difference from the fish you purchase at the fresh fish counter versus the fish in the aisle ... in those cans. (just sayin’)
