Day 21. Habits are forming. #meatless #plantbased #vegan #eattolive #macros #healthy #fitness #strong #veganathlete #vegangains #makeshifthappen #metabolicshift #lifestylenotdiet @rated_v_food @florexisflex 🌱 🌱 🌱 They say that it takes at least 21 days to form a new habit. Do you really believe that to be true for yourself? There are a lot of differing numbers and opinions out there about the length of time. Today, I spoke with a guy to whom I was standing next to inline a Greek Restaurant. He told me how amazing he and his family felt when they followed a plant based lifestyle as a household for three years. He verbalized a list of unsolicited reasons why they all quit as he patted his belly and said, “Yah. It all sounds like a cop-out." https://www.instagram.com/p/By4dLZJjncV/?igshid=15c13rzdshzb

Day 40 Guilt Trip From Type 2 Diabetic Her: Can I eat that? (high carb food) Me: If you eat it with protein. Her: What if I’m really hungry? Am I not allowed to eat that? Me: Yes, you can if you pair with a protein source but if eaten alone you blood sugar will spike. Her: I have medicine for that. They diagnosed me with diabetes in 1990 and I’m supposed to take medication if my sugar goes up too high after eating. Me: Yes, that’s true. Because your body does not respond well to eating that food, they do make medicine to lower blood sugar. Her: So, I can eat that then take my medicine. Me: That’s your decision, but all your doctors agreed with me and supported your new eating in a way that allows your blood sugar to stay in healthy range. Her: Huhhh! (High pitched scoff) Me: If you want your body to suffer from the damage and known negative side-effects of the medicine, that’s up to you—go ahead and eat that food. If it was up to me, would rather you choose to save your organs and body from that damage if possible so that you live a higher quality of life. Her: Tuhh...

Day 15 . So. . About the masks. . Yes, I wear them. . My friends who reported to have Coronavirus and recovering quickly, were wearing masks. . One on my good friends is on the team if PhD’s specialist in infectious disease, who is working on the mastermind group to develop a vaccine; described COVID-19 as “a very smart virus”. . It finds ways to get into a host regardless of their age or how well they are practicing the recommended guidelines. . It moves even more quickly to infect a unhealthy host with preexisting medical comorbidities because it’s easier to influence already diseased tissues. . The key is to be so incredibly healthy, have amazing immune competence, and metabolic flexibility; that if we do end up with Coronavirus; it will be like fighting off a flu. . I am focused more on that and have invested a lot of time, talent and treasure helping others to realize their priorities and empower them to implement a health initiative. . All that said, inspiring others toward a metabolic shift and plant-based lifestyle are my passion and I pray that I can help make a difference. . . . #summer90daychallenge #wellnesswednesday #buildingmybestme #makeshifthappen #metabolicshift #healthy #fitness #fit (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsLOjDjqKZ/?igshid=w7yil1sw9xzg
