Toxic Health Challenge: Day 16-Natural Flavors

Standard

That is quite a mouth-full I know, but it is so important to understand. I only showed the USDA’s definition…now here is mine…Natural Flavors are found in most processed foods, these ‘flavors’ are made in a lab by blending the natural and synthetic chemicals together to enhance taste. Although it may be derived from the natural source it is severely tampered with to mimic a certain taste. YUCK! Food companies are not required to list the individual ingredients and why would they want to? It would be a long list of terrible chemicals and additives. So don’t be fooled, stay away from any foods that have the words’Natural Flavors’ on them…it’s a lie.

Workout

Nikkis-5-Day-Workout-Plan

So I started this 5-Day Workout Plan, by Nikki Sharp @staysharpbestrong | IG Day 1 kicked my butt, like for real, I was seriously exhausted, but I feel stronger today and I know this plan is gonna be great for me. I am actually looking forward to tonight (Day 2) it’s gonna be a kicker! If you are looking for a good kick in the butt go buy this Digital Book, it has amazing tips and info, it is so worth the $8.00, which is practically nothing anyways. Do it.

Dinner

Okay so I am so excited about my dinner tonight. I get so bored with my usual Vegan dishes I was desperate for a change. I have always loved mushrooms and I never eat them so I bought a big pack the other day and last night I finally threw an impromptu dish together. I was very easy, I cut up my mushrooms, put some rice oil, onion and garlic in a pan let it sizzle a bit and then threw in my mushrooms, browned them and then threw them over a bed of noodles, added a little salt an WahhhhLaaahhhh! The best meal I have had in a very long time, easy, filling and plain yummy. Oh and of course my artichokes dipped in lemon, garlic and olive oil. Oh my, I think I might have the same thing again tonight.

Goodnight Beautiful World.
