and such

Im not even going to blog about my day today, cause I'd probably start crying. So I'll blog about my health and fitness. Original, right?
The summer before I turned 16 I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease. It's not a deadly disease, it's common and a lot of people have it, I didn't think it was a big deal at all. Minus me not having a menstrual cycle. What they didn't tell me at the doctor was that I would read in every health magazine ever written that if you have trouble losing weight or staying lean, it is the number one reason. Super duper. So I slowly became obsessed with eating healthy and working out, because I don't want to be the person who IS bigger because it's 10 times harder for me to lose weight than the average person (yeah, legit statistic) I wanna be the person that worked 10 times harder to be healthier.
Since then I've hardcore researched food and nutrition. And it was brought to my naive little mind why America's side of the Earth tilts a little more than the gravitational force was meant to. Not really, but it's coming, I promise. Food is ridiculous. Most "food" should not be edible and is destroying ou bodies. I have this disease and hormonal imbalance because of the over processed, hormone infused foods that are so mainstream. Not just me particularly, but everyone who has it or any other disease, really. We're bringing it on to ourselves. Err, McDonalds is anyway.
Blah. So my journey has brought me to a whole/natural/almost paleo type diet that I'm in love with. I developed this over time, first cutting the obvious, unhealthy cookies and such snacks. Then with research I cut white bread and High Fructose Corn Syrup, hydrogentaed oils, red meat . Next, no simple carbs. Ever. Then no wheat. Minimal, if any processed foods. Fruits and vegetables all day,everyday. More legumes. No processed sugar.Whole Non-wheat grains.  You probably get it now. But I have more enegry, I'm much healthier, and I'm happy. I laugh when guys and work offer cookies, or even a ciggarrette. It baffles me to consider that anyone could have that.  Honestly, I don't know how America functions. A majority of it anyway. Coffee and Nicotine I guess.
Speaking of more energy, I workout 1 hr and a half at least once a day. It's just habit. I don't kill myself to get it done, I just enjoy the challenge. And I love knowing that when I started running a month after I was diagnosed, I thought 2 miles was crazy and would be proud of myself for a week over it. It's awesome to run 10 miles and get up the next day and bust out 6 with no problem. It's an amazing feeling.
And I think that the food I eat is the food God put here for us. And the food that makes us go, and go well. And feel awesome. And look awesome.
It makes sense.
People try to take control, make food different, appearing from machinery and added flavors and all kinds of crazy. And if it makes you sick, just take meds you'll be fine. I haven't had so much as a cold since I started this diet. Bodies were meant to be strong, healthy, and fed wholesomely. I read about a study on heart- arrythmias that said under controlled diet and care, patients taking sugar pills benefitted more that those on the medications. The study was immediately discontinued when the findings were solid, and never published. But the medicine is still marketed and profited from. Thumbs up America.
And Gatorade? Ugh. I've heard so much "Well it's better than soda" Well yeah, soda is just a dumb idea. But colored sugar water is no better. Unless you are running 5 marathons everyday or are part swine, you do not need the severe electrolyte replacement it provides. Just drink water, bro.
And that was the most stereotypical naturalist blog about diet and exercise ever. You're welcome.
