Struggling With Being Rawsome! :-(

Last week my intention was to eat only raw food for 7 days. Had  I done so, I would have been able to lose at least 2 -3 pounds. The raw diet would have consisted of fruit, vegetables and raw nuts. I started off pretty good on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday morning I had loads of fruit and some raw nuts. I then went to gym. At lunch time I was starving and I just did not desire anymore fruit or vegetables or nuts. So, I cooked.

Now nothing is wrong with cooked food. I merely wanted to challenge myself. I had a strong determination for two days. But it’s all about the mind and I will be able to try this again soon. I even had a diary of the food I would eat for each meal. It did help but after day 2  I stopped looking at the diary and I was craving things like beans and pasta and cooked soy.

It’s amazing how powerful food is and  the effects it can have on your mind. You just need to  be strong and for those who are struggling with their weight you have to say no to those food that will make you gain weight. Weight loss is all in the mind .  You must motivate yourself to exercise and eat healthy. Or else your result will lead to endless problems that goes along with weight gain.

Of course there are some people that would argue that eating raw is not the best way because you’re missing out on proteins and calcium that non raw foods can give you . However, I believe that everything should be in balance and therefore 7 days of raw eating is not going to shut you down.  Just ensure that you are taking your supplements during that time. I can assure you that raw foods are low in calories, fat and sodium and high in fiber. The fat will melt away.

So I’m going to try eating raw again. Soon. You’ll hear about it. I’ll tell you if I succeeded or not. Maybe you can join me in my mission.

Improve Your Sex Life- Be Vegan

OK folks, I stumbled upon an article on the http://www.fitnessmagazine.com website which I think was absolutely raw-some!! Eating raw does have its benefits. Below I’m just going to outline for you the foods that the fitness magazine  website has highlighted that will improve your sex life and have you rocking the sheets with your partner!!

So here we go.

 

Lettuce

 

Little did I know that lettuce was such a love potion! It’s such a everyday simple vegetable. According to the magazine,

“Iceberg lettuce contains an opiate that helps to activate sex hormones,” say Drs. Clement. Nosh on a bowl at dinner and you’ll be ready to go by the time you turn in for the night.

So next time you are considering what to have for dinner. Have a salad, with a whole heap of lettuce.

 

Watermelon

Well well well…  Who would have thought. The good old watermelon, full of nutrition and at least 92% of it is  just water but the next 9%  is filled with sexual nutritious juices that will perk you up a bit. 😉

This is what http://www.fitnessmagazine.com had to say.

“Researchers at the Texas A&M Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center reported finding in 2008 that watermelon has ingredients that delivered Viagra-like effects to the human body’s blood vessels and could even aid in increasing libido”.

 

Isn’t that amazing! So for all those watermelon lovers out there. Eat to your heart’s content.

 

Saffron

As Trinidadians most of us use saffron a lot. This food is a great way to activate your sex drive. According to the magazine “Researchers at the University of Guelph have found that saffron can improve sexual performance. To use, Glassman suggests soaking the threads in hot liquid for 15 minutes then adding to any grain like rice, quinoa, or barley — or use it in a soup or stew.”

So guys we know what to do right. Start making those curry dishes more often. Yum!!

 

Black Raspberries

Stella has finally gotten her groove back! lol… Get busy after having at least 10 of these a day.

“This phytochemical-rich food enhances both libido and sexual endurance,” say Drs. Anna Maria and Brian Clement, authors of 7 Keys to Lifelong Sexual Vitality and directors of Hippocrates.”

 

Broccoli

Is this the new female Viagra? This vegetable is great for enhancing the female libido.  It has loads of vitamin C which increases blood circulation to the organs. It can be eaten raw as well. So girls, stock up on your broccoli you won’t regret it!

 

Ginger

Getting frisky with a little ginger is a spanking  way to enhance your libido!

According to Drs. Clement. “In the 21st century, those of us who know about botanical-ceuticals know that ginger helps circulation temperature adjustment, mucoid detoxification (mucus-like residue that can coat your GI tract) and also a libido enhancer.”

 

Cloves

 

Cloves are jam packed with nutritional benefits and most of all it is a potent sex super food. You can use it in your tea, latte or in your favorite meal. It’s a great booster for men as well and has been used to treat male sexual dysfunction. So while preparing your cloves don’t forget to share some with your guy.

Moreover, According to Glassman “Cloves are also used to rid bad breath, which can’t hurt your kissing skills either,”  he also suggests using powdered cloves in Mexican food. Add a little cumin and cinnamon and you’ve got a tasty, multifaceted aphrodisiac”.

 

In other facts, foods that kill your libido are:

 

Libido slayers – Oysters

 

Don’t give into the myth of Oysters improving your sex life. You will be sorely disappointed.  As stated in the magazine,

“Oysters are a well-known source of zinc, which plays a central role in the creation of hormones and clitoris sensitivity, but they are also a toxic food,” Drs. Clement say. “Oysters and other shellfish can absorb the toxins and parasites in the ocean, which can often outweigh the benefits of zinc.” Skip the seafood and chow down on spinach for a similar low-calorie, high-zinc option.”

 

Libido Slayers- Dairy

 

Remember in my previous posts I spoke about swapping different types of foods? Well dairy is one of them. You may want to look for ice-cream and cream cheese that is lactose free or dairy free and increase your soy intake.  You can get loads of calcium from calcium-rich soy milk and other vegetables. Calcium is important because it is associated to cell and sexual health.

“The Clements say that the lactic acid in dairy and oxygen-destroying elements can squash a libido at any level, so try to limit the creamy stuff .”

“When cells are healthy, they increase sensitivity for better circulation to genitalia, thus giving you more pleasure. Stock up on calcium-rich soy milk, leafy greens, sprouted beans, cabbage, broccoli, and wheat-grass juice.”

 

I hope you have enjoyed and was enlightened by this very exciting and interesting information. I surely was. So next time you’re having problems between the sheets try going raw for a change. Be Vegan!

Lambs To The Slaughter, Be Vegan!

Lately I have been doing some research on the conditions in which animals have had to endure and are still enduring in certain parts of the world. It may seem as a struggle for me especially if the meat is being senselessly dangled in front my face by meat eaters. However, that being said, as I looked at some of the ways in which these animals are treated my heart goes out for them. I wouldn’t want anyone to treat their pet animal so cruel. Of all the reasons I have outlined in my previous post as to why I have ditched meat this has now become the most pertinent one.

Animals have feelings. Most of them are kind and sweet and they make you happy. Billions of animals get their heads blown off daily some are beaten and tortured. Do we have to reach to such lengths? There are so many other ways to get maximum protein intake. You can work out daily, lift weights and still have energy to burn if you are on a vegan diet. Anyways, I know it can be difficult, especially if you have been eating animals all your life and not aware of what is happening behind closed doors. Take a look at this  slaughter house in 2014 video. It’s sad but real.
