LOOSING WEIGHT ON A BALANCED, HEALTHY, THOUGHT-THROUGH VEGAN DIET!

Some example standard non-healthy vegan meal options:

special K is a processed, fotified, refined, unnatural food! Your body will convert it into metabolic toxins=cellulite, fatigue, ect. There's hardly any nutrients left in this food. Forget the minerals they fortify it with. The only minerals your body can use are those which are alive & raw, like your body (greens & seeds!) Did you ever experience eating one bowl of Special K, and soon after your're hungry again?! That I call the nutritional gap. When you fill your stomach with nutrient-low foods, you'll be full for a short while, but soon your brain will send a signal: "I need nutrients!" That will make you feel hungry again. It's like that with all processed foods!Oh, here's a thought: why does Speacial K need TV commercials & advertising? Just to give the opinion-less and influencial mind a false idea about heath! Ever seen a commercial for organic foods? Who ever really wants health just knows, that organic and whole is the answer! I love it, things are so crystal clear!

Make your dinner 80% broccoli and maybe 20% brown rice. (RECIPE: (fast&easy) Bake your broccoli in the oven for 20 min. Before that put it out on a baking sheet, put good salt & black pepper on it, squeeze 1 or 2 cloves of garlic onto it, put healthy olive oil on it, and mix it with your hands. Then moisten a thin paper bag and cover your veggies -> bake - it's so good, you'll forget about the rice!!! - Do the same with fennel - YUM)

Veggie burger - > too much carb! and the bread is probably not homemade, is it? American bread, wherever you get it, is just not healthy (all these crazy toast fluffy junk in plastic with 10.000 ingredients like soy, corn, "salt", ect. - stuff that you'd never ever find in European bread - I hope! ;)), unless it's super organic and firm! Then it's still not healthy but at least only slightly acidic.

Here's the deal:

1. People have the protein-fever! Actually Americans consume way to much protein. Your body needs protein to create amino acids. Amino acids are contained in every raw (green) vegetable. So forget the protein stuff. Think of an elephant or a girraffe, they're so strong and they do not eat obvious protein! They live on amino acids = raw greens.

Do not overdo beans & legumes. Also have some fresh, raw nuts & seeds instead. They're full of protein, good fats and give you many minerals. Still, nuts and seeds are slightly acidic. (almonds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts - not roasted, not salted!)

Peanuts & brazil nuts are super acidic! Please forget you ever heard that peanut butter is healhty! Skippy is full of sugar, salt and peanuts! Ahhh! RUN! Now you understand why there are people who are allergic to peanuts!

5. Avoid all forms of refined sugar - (the poison!!;)) Your body will dump it into little drawers called fat-cells! :) Instead choose agave nectar, local honey, if you are "bee"gan, or raw cane sugar. Also avoid high fructose corn syrup. It's just industrial, cheep crap that can be found in all kinds of foods even though it should not be in it!

6. Make sure you do eat(!) healthy fats. They are super nutritious and good for you (joints, skin, digestion). Healthy, extra virgin cold pressed organic oils will actually help you loose weight!!! Your choices are (all cold pressed extra virgin): olive oil, pumpkin seed oil, sesame seed oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil (amazing for weightloss!), coconut oil (anti viral, anti fungial, easy to digest, anti bacterial, super healthy, yes high in saturated fat. But you have to distinguish between good and bad saturated fats. The good kind does not cause cholesterol. Animal fats are the bad ones.), canola oil! Remember: the good kind!

7. Make your food from scratch, so you know what's in it! High quality counts.

11. No refined/industrial salt! It gives you wrinkles & Alzheimer (because of the aluminum in salt to make it come out of the dispenser better, aluminum messes up your brain.) It's fortified with all kinds of crap. Sodium-Chloride is the salt you usually get. It is highly refined, and as it's name tells, only contains two minerals: sodium & chloride. Healthy salts contain up to 82(!!!) minerals and is alkalizing your body and provides for it!!!! The refined salt is full of additives and unnatural chemicals! It is highly aggressive - even so aggressive it's the most commonly used preservative: keeps foods from going bad, while shipping it back and forth around the globe, and giving it months & years of insanely long shelf-life. Therefore it can be found in almost any boxed /wrapped foods. Read the list of ingredients carefully. Oh, and it's cheap, that's why they (the industry) loves to add it to all kind of foods, too. Oh, oh, and it makes people sick, even better for the pharmaceutical industry. It's a loose-win! How sad.

So go and buy himalayan crystal rock salt, natural rock salt, or celtic sea salt. Regular sea salt is okay sometimes, but i'd avoid it, still. And as always, remember all organic!!!! Especially the salt!

You really DO need good salts in order for your body to function right.
