What were some of the biggest physical changes that you noticed once you became 100% vegan? I've suffered from acne and KP (the little red bumps on the upper arms) for most of my life and am hoping this lifestyle would help! From your videos, your skin looks flawless and I'm sure your diet helps with that!!Michelle Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-21315411236189895442014-01-28T21:34:34.909-08:002014-01-28T21:34:34.909-08:00yes, yes sharing recipes can be very healthy :D we...yes, yes sharing recipes can be very healthy :D we bounce inspiration around.as far as staring-breathing- I may try that technique - see if it works :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942233389397903511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-18746754420175964752014-01-28T21:31:31.838-08:002014-01-28T21:31:31.838-08:00Michelle actually what matters more is the overall...Michelle actually what matters more is the overall amino acid profile of your diet. As long as you eat a wide range of whole foods there is no need to worry about protein. Maybe just start with 2 vegan meals a day or 5 vegan days a week and take it from there. See how you feel. Try to learn a few recipes, etc. The biggest mistake when going vegan is eating refined foods. Really that's never healthy whether you are vegan or not. In general if I eat veggies and fruits and i get my calories daily I know i ma getting enough protein. Another thing that's not widely known is that a high in protein diets are very damaging to the kidneys, they are usually acidic and overall not health-promoting. Hope that helps <3 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942233389397903511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-21846598516040007512014-01-28T10:16:46.690-08:002014-01-28T10:16:46.690-08:00Hi Ali!!

I admire your healthy diet and would love to try out a vegan lifestyle for a bit but it would be such a drastic change for me! I was just wondering where your primary sources of protein come from? I think getting enough protein would be my main concern going vegan, because I live a very active lifestyle and love to workout. I don't want my body to suffer due to my lack of vegan diet knowledge! <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />PS If you ever come to the east coast, please teach a class in the NY/NJ area! I would love to practice in person with you and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. Or perhaps you could just open up a studio here :)Michelle Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-18060358031960329382014-01-27T09:25:34.237-08:002014-01-27T09:25:34.237-08:00Thank you kindly! :)Thank you kindly! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-14997126050011390412014-01-27T09:20:10.164-08:002014-01-27T09:20:10.164-08:00Brilliant!!!

Down dog, straight right leg completely up, to the right, hold, sh#t, cr&p, Free choice on the exhale, release, F%^k...good job...Wow...the would be amazing. We might have to get you a Lone Ranger mask though. Me too on the kabosha...it is so creamy and mildly nutty and sweet. It do eat the peel too...COCONUT MILK...fabulous. I just copied this recipe...definitely my cup of tea...In seriousness...Sharing and discussing the recipes and diet practices is REALLY helpful and motivating. Fruit and Veg variety is so beneficial to one's health. Sometimes, because of the prep time...one can fall into the habit of pulling out a bag of carrots and dipping them in peanut butter...good for you but, not 3 times a day for two weeks (really lazy) ...Sophie's power methods should probably be integrated into the whole new "fitness revolution"...we know how effective heavy breathing and staring can be...HA! (sorry...really, I am...I tend to be a blurter). I think you are honest and brave (re: the lollys)...It is good to share that because some people feel like they have failed with a "unauthorized" treat... It is obvious that so many people are drawing inspiration from you. Seeing you be human is a lovely thing Ali. Your beads are so pretty. I love turquoise. The lollys has been eaten and we are all back to abstaining (hopefully) from the lollys for a while. :( xoxox, another beautiful day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03165509730865083537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-52243615977112245042014-01-26T19:27:08.488-08:002014-01-26T19:27:08.488-08:00I found Paul Pitchford's "Healing with Wh...I found Paul Pitchford's "Healing with Whole Foods" to be an excellent intro in chinese medicine and healing- it explains the energetics of foods.

Laura I think cussing is burning extra calories and we might be onto something- the next fitness revolution here we come :P Kabocha is my favorite. Probably top 5 favorite foods. :) THE YUMMIEST EVER!!! But for this recipe anything works.the kabocha will give it a green hinge because of the skin which i do eat. carrots, tomatoes, pumpkin, coconut/almond milk and spices and there you go. get crazy in the kitchen and let me know what you come up with. haha Sofie uses the power of "staring" and "heavy breathing" to get what she wants. It's like silent mind control techniques haha. i do use vinegar. I have been having certain thoughts on fermentation in the ayurvedic perspective but here and there some raw apple cider vinegar or not raw balsamic (i have some italian decadence now) is totally OK...yeah? the lollies had to be documented for the sake of honesty. although i am not promoting that :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942233389397903511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-38453098425683678602014-01-26T17:03:54.076-08:002014-01-26T17:03:54.076-08:00I would have responded sooner...but it seems I ha...I would have responded sooner...but it seems I had to run to the kitchen for cocoa with chipotle...dang good Ali! I love pumpkin anything!!! are you using it grated raw or steamed? I want to try the gross or divine pumpkin dish...the ingredients were working for me I think...Yum. I saw kaboshas in the store the other day. I think they are a bit milder than pumpkin...interchangeable??? Do you use vinegar?.. or do you avoid fermentation? Sophie looked like she was about ready to rough you up for the banana!!! Thanks for sharing all of the great menu ideas (I can't handle vanilla herb tea in any combo). Your candor about the lollys made me laugh...once in a while is probably good for moral...love from the kitchen. xoxoxo, LauraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03165509730865083537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467041614300971388.post-45735033108280224272014-01-26T14:31:04.617-08:002014-01-26T14:31:04.617-08:00Love it, Ali!

I have been incorporating 811 a lot in my diet this past month (except dinner, I still like to incorporate wild caught fish some days of the week). But already feeling wonderful!
