My husband and I read a book over the summer called "Skinny Bitch" by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. It changed the way we will eat for the rest of our lives. This book had me in tears. I will never forget reading it.
I started reading it to my self, but went on a road trip with my husband and was thinking to my self "He needs to hear this!!!!" So, I started reading it out loud to him.
It is graphic and profane. He kept yelling at me "WHYYYY, Why are you doing this to me! I can't listen to this! This is horrible...." I just ignored him and kept reading, he needed to hear it as much as I did.
So when we got back from this road trip, we cleaned our refrigerator out. We probably gave 30lbs of frozen meat to our neighbors, and organic dairy products. Cheeses, milk, butter, and whatever else was sitting in our fridge. Ironically, these were the very neighbors that let us borrow this book. They had fallen off the wagon, with three kids, its kind of hard to maintain a vegan diet.
So, needless to say, we were now on a - almost- vegan train! Not only that, but we were starting the 21 Day Fix Extreme at the end of that week too. I was in tears again. What was I doing, taking on all of this at once?
Well, 9 months later, and I eat dairy from time to time, but I make sure to keep it organic. I don't need any of that added antibiotics, or hormones in my body. But no meat. None since August 30th, 2015.
And let me tell you, I feel like a million bucks. This little bit may be a tad graphic for some of you so skip if if you want.. My lower intestines and colon are so clean, I can tell that there is nothing built up in there. The first few months of eating this way (including 21 DFX diet), NOTHING, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING stayed inside of me. I felt so clean and light, I knew I would never go back.
We stumbled on another book that I will talk more about later on called "The China Study", definitely look into this one if you are interested in the health benefits of this diet, you will be amazed.
