My food habits - replacements

As I mentioned before, over 1 year ago I decided to start a weekly vegetarian diet. Not only because I had stomach problems but because I felt much better when not eating most animal products. Nowadays I can tell you I found great balance. I am not vegan or 100% vegetarian. I avoid to eat out and plan my meals on a weekly basis (Sunday evenings I cook 2-3 different meals to eat during the week). I lost some weight and at 30 years old I feel better than ever. Today I am going to provide you guys with a list of some major replacements in my cooking habits that made a big difference.

Regular milk with organic almond, rice or coconut milk. 

I never liked milk in the first place, and I drank it mostly with coffee or chocolate. Nowadays I have at least 1 cup a day with my morning smoothie. I tend to buy this brand also at costco. When it goes on sale I pay about $8.50 for 6.

Olive oil with avocado oil (or organic coconut oil)

I like olive oil. Don’t get me wrong. It’s very healthy and all those things we know. But I felt it was a bit heavy and fatty. I find Avocado oil lighter. You cannot taste the difference. Guarantee you. I get mine at costco for about $12 a bottle (1.5 L)

Regular butter with Vegan Butter. 

I used to be a big butter eater. But with my food habits completely started leaving butter alone. I'll use it casually for cooking, baking or on toast. I guarantee you you can barely tell the difference. Normally purchase it at Trader Joe around $3.50 a container. 

Normal pasta with Quinoa and Brow Rice Noodles

This was major. Specially because it's a very tasty and lighter pasta. I also get it at TJ's in the US for around $2.50 a package. Now I don't feel so guilty when I eat pasta. You can even get the lasagna base. Yuuuummmm! Half the calories, amazing flavor!

There might be couple more things I replaced, but I cannot recall at this moment. I'll keep you posted. 

Challenge: Replace some of these items in your diet for 1 month and let us know what your think? :)

Thinking Out Loud

 

 

Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Santaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Caí em mim...

Hoje fiquei a dormir em casa da Carolina. Amanhã tenho que tomar conta dos cães e como fomos as duas jantar acabei por aqui ficar. Ela está no quarto no skype com o Matt. O tal rapaz que conheçeu no retiro de yoga. Vejo (e oiço-os) ali na conversa e uma triste "realization" cai sobre mim: starting to think you are not that into me. E sinto-me triste. A semana passada quase não trocamos mais do que meia duzia de mensagens. Desde 6f que não sei nada de ti. É tal e qual como diz o Fernando Alvim: quado se realmente quer, tem-se sempre tempo. Os dias viram noite. E deixa-me assim, cabisbaixa. Desconsolada. Com o coração durido, mais uma vez. Mas também sei que não temos nada definido. Mas a minha mente e o meu espírito aventureiro e apaixonada atraiçoam-me sempre. Volto a deixar tudo nas mãos do universo. Gosto de ti. Demais da conta. Sei que te quero e quero construir todas aquelas coisas que adormeço a imaginar. Não tenho dúvidas, but I can only do so much. Por isso assim te liberto. 

Your Portuguese Nurse 

Humpf!

Hã? Já viste, ursinho? Mais um dia e tu nada… Zero. Nicles batatoides. Já te enviei o presente de Natal e tudo. Em vez do livro do Saramamgom, sabes o que é que merecias… Merecias… merecias era que te embrulhasse um cóco da Maya em papel manteiga e que te enviasse como se fossem trufas de chocolate caseiras. Humpf! #disappointed #yousuck #Imissyou  

As tuas mensagens - P da Vida!

Pah, Ursinho to fodida contigo. Mas mesmo a sério, caramba. Desde Quita-Feira que não dizes nem ai nem ui. Mas achas isto bem? É extremament fuleiro da tua parte. Há e tal andas ocupado e “more interesting projects on the mix” e o canário… mas pah uma mensagem a dizer “Há e tal to aqui, não morri” são 2 segundos – va´ 7 ou 8, pronto. Enervas-me, percebes? É porque não pensas em mim e não queres saber de mim, carago. E essa merda doi. Esta semana também me vou armar em mula e não te vou dizer rigoramente nada até que tu te dignes a dizer qualquer coisa. Pode ser que abras a pestana. É que estou mesmo fodida contigo. Vá triste! E até já te mandei o teu presente de Natal… que vai na volta nem merecias, seu meretriz_loiro_podre_de_giro_do_demo. To cá com uma vontade de te dar uma lambada… que nem te digo nem te conto. Humpf! Boa semaninha, sim? Idiota!
