Vegan Does NOT Mean Healthy!

I remember there was a time when I swore up and down that VEGAN equaled Healthy. It does not! Being vegan means to NOT eat products that came from a living thing which is extremely simple living in the USA, the King of processed food. 

Just because the label says Vegan does NOT equate to healthy. 

Did you know that Oreos, Lays chips, Some Ben and Jerry Ice Cream are all Vegan? Sugar and salt are vegan. Flour and processed grain are also Vegan! 

About 2 years ago I lost over 40 LB eating nothing. Just cleansing my body with a liquid solution that worked a miracle for me. You may have heard of it. The lemonade diet. After the diet, it tells you to drinks soups and gradually implement in solids foods. 

So I decided to start to eat more foods that were in its natural state. fresh vegetable, fruits, less oil and kept the weight off for about 6 months or so. 

Then I began to get a knack for creating meals that were "Meat replacements" and desserts that were animal free. 

I really got good at this but gained my weight back so fast it was not funny. When I was fasting and eating clean I had NO cramps or complications during my menstrual cycle, no mood swings, I would rise in the mornings quickly and fast. I was on point for real. 

Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. 

When I began back eating more processed foods and not only did I gain almost all my weight back, I was severally fatigue, my menstrual cycles were hell, and my mood swings were more than swinging some could consider me to be bipolar. It was hard to concentrate, and I was so forgetful. 

The scripture says, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" and I believe he was referencing also what we put into our bodies. Our temples should be fed clean food.

In fact, the cost of eating clean does not always have to be expensive. It can mean that it is very inexpensive if you are a person looks at long-term effects. And in most cases, we are talking less than 2 dollars a difference for most foods. Like whole Grain is not $1 but $3. Or White rice is $2 Dollars and Brown Rice is $3.50

So please do not believe the hype of VEGAN MEANS HEALTHY! It does not...
