How to become a vegan

by on Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

The first thing you have to realize before become a vegan is that you have to know deep down in your heart that you want to be a vegan, not because other people do and you just follow them. It’s not wrong to follow the good example of others but you will not be a vegan for long and don’t feel happy while you’re eating.

Since you realize that you really need to be a vegan. There are many reasons why people turn to be vegans like loving animals, healthy, clean the stomach and more. But since you can focus on what you want to do. You can start by eat less meat as much as possible, reduce the number of meat day by day. At the same time, eat them with vegetable. Until you can stop eating meat, start eating veggies completely. If you’re the one who doesn’t like vegetable, first eating the one you like. There must be some kind of vegetables you like to eat, start from them first.
Start to eat less outside the house but cooking food by yourself and all food should not have meat in it. if you don’t know how to cook, ask someone to do it for you. Your first vegetarian meal should be delicious, so it can convince you to feel good eating them.

Also if you are the person who trust in animal right, it’s a lot easier to stop eating meat. Meat in the opinion of the vegans is just like the dead meat and they don’t eat dead meat to harm their bodies.

While you are on diet, fruit must be one of the choices that the person who is on diet chooses to eat. Yes, it’s correct but you have to be careful since fruits contain with sugar and carbohydrates too. If you eat too much fruit, it can make you gain weight as well.

Especially for fruit juice, for instance orange juice. A glass of orange juice must take at least 10-15 oranges which are too much number for people who are on diet. You will get sugar more than the diet people suppose to get.
What’s more, you have to feel torture with the hunger feeling afterward because you take no food but only orange juice. What’s the point to take something which high calories and still make you feel hungry. It’s better to eat raw fruits like real orange, apple, kiwi and others.

Also if you don’t careful enough buying fruit juice which is not 100% contains by fruit. They contain with syrup also and syrup has a lot of sugar which make you gain weight. Many people get wrong idea about fruit and end up with gaining weight instead of losing weight. No matter what you eat, think about the amount of food you eat too even your food contains less calories but since you eat a lot of them, they will give you a lot of calories instead.

Wrong ways to Diet

by on Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Many people have very wrong idea about dieting and here is the list of the dieting ways which are not only going to work but also harm your body:

1. Low Calories Diet: It doesn’t work your metabolism will adapt the body to get used to the low calories food you eat and then it will adjust itself by burning lesser calories each day. So even you eat less, your metabolism will burn less also. The worst is that when you stop eat low calories food, the weight can come back very easy because the metabolism doesn’t adjust the level to burn the calories for itself yet.

2. Low Fat Diet: Beware of Low fat signs which are shown on the food containers, it really doesn’t help you to lose weight if the number of food you eat is still the same.

3. Low Carb Diet: it’s the most popular among three of them since it gives very fast result within a day. I tried this way before but it makes me feels totally miserable and no power to do anything. Carb gives you energy, the body which is lack of Card will not be able to do things as the normal be able to do. What’s more, it’s not easy to find food to eat at the restaurants which have very less card than the Atkin rule requires.

All those three ways to stop diet are not really working and if it’s really working, it’s gonna torture your body a lot and totally affect to your health.
