Day 25

Food:
Breakfast: black coffee, chai tea with coconut milk, scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado
Lunch: AWESOME BRAKFAST LUNCH no-grain-ola (turns out a whole banana in this is a bit too much banana. There are never too many strawberries, however).
Dinner: sesame and mushroom beef stirfry with a mango juice. Yummy restaurant food!
Pudding at home: small portion of nograinola - there are strawberries to use up!

Things I'm grateful for today:
  • an unexpected day off, due to a teachers' strike at the uni where I was scheduled to teach
  • cheap, ripe strawberries (1kg for approx £1.20! In April!)
  • unexpectedly cheap coconut milk (they had the price written incorrectly on the shelf, so I got 4 cans for about half price!)
  • scoffing dark chocolate last night to celebrate some good news*, and waking up this morning with less spots on my face than I went to bed with!
  • seeing a snake! Just like you'd expect in Latin America! It was only my second, and (thankfully) wasn't a python though. 

* no, dark chocolate is definitely not whole 30, especially when it (sadly) contains sugar (it was the healthiest stuff I could find though. If you're in Colombia look for "Santander," if you're related to me expect some being sent to you in July :D ) but it was 1) definitely celebration-worthy news, and 2) my whole 30 buddy has reverted to eating white rice for lunch everyday as she was getting too skinny. I still win, right?

    Dear ZOE...I am so sorry...you are completely on the wrong track. 100% wrong.

    Dairy= fat
    fried= fat
    meat= fat and protein
    bread=fat
    sugar DOES NOT EQUAL FAT
    FAT=FAT
    carbs=enegry

    so...going for the high fat diet will lead to fatigue and stored fat.

    Your body has two types of fuel: Carbs and Fat

    Your body will burn carbs first and store fat second.

    your body only needs 10% of fat per day ...that's about 1/3 of an avacado...everything else is used as low energy after all your carbs are burned up or stored as fat.

    For example: peopple think they get fat from bananas...NO..people get fat from eating bananas and meat, dairy and butter. adding bananas to your diet gives you more carbs for more energy, while the fat gets stored.

    solution:

    EAT lots and lots of sweet fruits and vegetables, potatoes and rice. 2500 calories or more.

    SUGAR IS NOT FAT!!!!!!!!! SUGAR CANNOT TURN INTO FAT!! IT"S ALL BULLSHIT! READ>>LEARN>>>

    AND ONE MORE THING:
    UNHEALTHY VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS are few and rare...because they don't eat enough.

    Let's count how many unhealthy..non vegan vegetarians there are...billions. :)

    ok, I've said my peace...good luck.
