My Reason For Change

BEFORE

AFTER

When I first started changing my diet it was because I was overweight. I was 250+ pounds. But when I moved to Korea I started looking more into the connections between diet and health. One of the first documentaries that I watched was Forks over Knives. It showed that diet was not only correlated to weight, but also to a number of diseases. Looking back on our family history I can see how this makes sense. I've been told that my great grandparents lived past 100. Then my grandparents lived to their 90s. But now my aunts and uncles are barely reaching their 70s and 80s. The only difference really is their diet. Since watching this film along with many others I have drastically changed my diet with many great results. My weight has dropped all the way down to 175 and has stayed consistent. My acne has all disappeared. I have more energy than I've ever had without needing any coffee, tea or sodas. I also have no headaches and my joint pain has disappeared. I used to have a lot of knee pain after playing basketball or soccer. There are many other things that I can list too. I'm writing this blog so that the rest of our family can benefit from what I have learned and even expand on it. I will be posting altered recipes. These will be things that we normally ate, but altered to eliminate harmful ingredients like, animal products and excessive amounts of sugar and oil. If you have a recipe you would like me to change, email it to me and I will do my best to change it while keeping it tasting great. Good luck with your change! I hope this helps!
