Hungry for Change

Last night I watched a Documentary Film called Hungry for Change. I found it on Netflix and my boyfriend and I watched the entire documentary in silenced shock. Did you know that the Average American eats 200 pounds of sugar a year!? And that's less than what children are consuming. Or that fat free foods are actually making us fatter? It blew my mind. I recommend this film to everyone! After the film ended, I got in bed thinking there is so much I can do to change how I feel and look on a daily basis. So, I have decided to go back to my Juicing habit, which I used to do daily. Since most people cannot consume the right nutritional foods daily with our busy schedules, it's recommended that we juice our greens and colorful vegetables to get the nutrients our bodies were designed for. I also used to be vegan back in 2010, with the help of Alicia Silverstone and her incredible book The Kind Diet. I long for how I felt then, inside & out. It was the first time I ever craved Beets, because they tasted like the earth. I never thought I would like anything that tasted like the earth, or dirt! It was also the first time I ever really understood what eating for energy felt like. However, I'll revisit that idea after the first 30 days of this juicing cleanse has passed. I'll keep my blog updated on mine and my boyfriends progress, since he's decided to do it with me! Which for him is a huge step. Juicing vegetables is definitely not something he jumps up and down to do. It'll be a month full of knowledge for us both. A quote from this documentary really stuck out in my mind. I'd like to share it with you and use it as my motivation..
