To Die Or Not To Die..... Vegetarians and Protein

If You Don't Eat Meat And Fish Where Do You Get Your Protein ?

Oh Man How Many Times Have I heard That Question !!!!!!!! lol

There has been a lot of rubbish over the years about how much protein we need.

Both the dairy and meat industry along with certain governments-have had vested interest in telling folk that they will wither away without plenty of animal protein.

So successful has the propaganda been that the minute anyone becomes veggie,the first question they are asked is "But where will you get your protein".

The thing is no matter what you have heard, read or been brainwashed to believe,we can live and grow easily without consuming any animal protein whatsoever.

For example lets look at Some of the largest animals that are herbivores, consuming no meat/fish or dairy whatsoever. The elephant for example is by far the strongest and one of the most muscular land animals.

Then you have Hippos,giraffes,rhinos,Buffalo's deer and even cows.
Not only do you never see them slapping a few burgers on the Barbey you don't see them visiting the Health food store to top up their vitamin B12 either.

These magnificent muscular land animals get all their protein from the vegetation which was designed specifically for them by Nature.

Hence we can easily get our protein from eating fresh 'live fruit, vegetables,nuts and seeds which were specifically designed for us.

Most Nuts contain almost as much protein as red meat and 6 per cent more calcium per 100g than plain yogurt.

In reality, we don't need any protein. what we actually need are amino acids, the building block of protein. The human body requires 23 amino acids.It can manufacture 15 all on its own, but the the other eight we must get from our food.

These are also known as essential amino acids. All of these essential amino acids can be found in the plant kingdom, not just the animal kingdom.

Avocados, ((The best-est scrummiest fruit on the planet,except bananas...lol)) once seen as the dieter's kryptonite because of their fat content, are packed with all the essential amino acids. All fruits, vegetables,nuts and seeds contain plenty of these essential protein building blocks.

It takes the body 20-30 min to use your fruits and veg, none of it wasted, the body uses it all. (Bonus for the dieter)
It can take 2- 3 hrs for the body to use fish for example, a piece of steak even longer.
Very little will be used and the rest will be stored as fat sitting on your intestines never to leave, throw in some chips with that steak and you are looking at several hours even longer.
(Not so good for the dieter - The longer your body is working on digesting that waste, the less time it is burning those excess pounds you want to lose).

How long do you go between meals .....?

What do you think is going to happen when you eat again !!!!! yup it sits there while you throw in your spag bol or lasagna then you feel even more exhausted.

The body cant use it all so it stores it,,,, you get bigger more tireder then sicker.

Although with time green juicing can clean out this waste matter along with colonic ( another topic for another time). But constant abuse of these foods will lead to disease eventually in one form or another.

I am not saying you have to go 100% Raw you can make little changes. When I started this journey I did not know were i would end up.

I went more Raw as I liked how I was feeling.

No longer tired all the time, no longer needing pain killers for pain, ( I actually used to suffer the pain as I have never been one for pain killers)

The level of Raw that I am now never happened over night.

It was not a difficult journey, I juiced or had a smoothie first thing, snacked on fruit till lunch.

I would probably have a smoothie for lunch occasionally some chopped veg and hummus.

I would then snack on fruit until dinner.

my dinner would be a massive salad of grated vegetables and fruit, with hummus, nuts and avocados.

Finished off with Raw ice cream and occasionally a glass of wine.

Eventually the desire to have such a large meal in the evening disappeared, although I do still occasionally eat a large meal.

One thing that did go is processed food,( specially bread and pasta )and yes I occasionally had it , but eventually it really does lose it's addictiveness.

So the next time your child refuses to eat their meat or pasta but screams out for more green beans or sweet corn.

Don't worry it might not satisfy you !!!! But your little one is still getting all he/she needs.

For the record I was a big veggie,,,,,,Lived on Pasta.....What is Pasta !!!!! Do you know ? (chemicals ) Had I known what I know now Id of stuck with the meat......!

That is a big statement for someone that would never consider meat as a food source again, however again for the record if we had a plane crash and you died. An it was down to survival then yeah sorry I would eat you ( Sorry..... so laughing now)

That is the old military girl inside talking now

Have a beautiful night
