Gratitude: finished 7 day challenge + going on!! 💚✅️👌❇️
I am in day 8 after the 7 day challenge in eating whole food plant-based low calorie, high density and I love that this way of eating, cooking, baking, sometimes snacking changed everything for me to the better!!! 👌✅️ 1/ I really do not miss organic chicken or smoked salmon or turkey. 2/ I have so much more energy after day 5 passed...and now being at day 8! With my chronic pain I can certainly need it! Yesterday I was too energized to go to bed early. That has never happened before in my 20 years of dealing with my cron pains! 3/ I lost up til today -2 kg in 7 days. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 4/ I feel I lost weight, fysicly and feel so empowered, more energetic, got a glow on me in ditching the lactosefree butters, cow milks yoghurts...organic meat..fish .. 5/ no oils is much easier then I thought..the first 2 days it was more difficult but now I am used to it...I steam it in some water + spices in my microwave inverter in minutes..sometimes, I add 1/4 vegan stock cube (palmoil -free) to it. 6/ I eat totally different then what I used to do and my belly is completely full..I eat until I am full and discover so many other things to get creative in the kitchen like frittatas..herb vegan quiches no oil made with split beans, other flours like chickpea flour, white almond flour...etc. I will still bake my breads and sourdough breads but will make them more adapted to our needs now. 7/ others notice and complement me 8/ I never have a dip of energy anymore 1 to 2 hours after each meal cause I am full! Yesterday after breakfast: 5,5 hours no hunger nor cravings, after late lunch, the same etc.. 9/ just need to meal prep more and put foods in the freezer..get more organised and learn how to bake sweet things the more healthy way. And last but not least: AM SO GRATEFUL FOR BEING HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND ARE GENUINLY KIND. I ALSO LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU ALL AND FROM THE PROGRAMME thanks to you all and to Ami + Chelsea! 😊🤟❤️👌✅️❇️👊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
