I am becoming a little obsessed

so lately ive been getting a lil obsessed with all things natural. natural medicine, natural remedies for anything and everything, natural products, DIY beauty and products, detoxes. just all things healthier. yet i have minimal motivation to do any of it. lol. i do somethings but id like to make the transition full and permanent.

im trying to find as many sources as i can for all things natural. sites, books, anything. anyone know of any great resources, sites, anything??

and im thinking of becoming a vegetarian or at least cutting my meat intake waaay down. to maybe 1 meal a week/day.

i really just want to be healthier...plus i need to start working out.

Well...for SkinCare stuff at least there are several threads in there related to natural/organic skincare.

Not exactly my area of expertise, but I know there are some muters that are also into this. Hopefully they'll see your thread!

Re: I am becoming a little obsessed

Way to go. Vegetarians rule. I would go to goveg.com thats a great site for learning about vegetarianism. Has a LOT of info. If you don't want to search the whole site go to: GoVeg.com // Why You Should Consider Adopting a Vegetarian Diet (the best part of it IMO)

VegCooking > Vegetarian Cooking has vegetarian recipes.

I don't know too much about individual books you could buy, however I do know if you go to your local bookstore there are tons of actual books on vegetarian cooking.

There would also be books on natural products and what they do for you. I bought my boyfriends mother (or rather he bought it, I picked it out haha) a book on essential oils and which ones do what. There was also one I wanted on natural remedies. There were a BUNCH of them for that. I advise you to just go hit up a book store, search their computer. You will find lots!

If you have a local health food/product store (like whole foods or something) near you I would go and check it out. It's soooo fun looking at natural products. And usually because of the nature of the store (especially if it's independently owned) the people who work there really know what theyre talking about if you have to ask them about a product or which product they recommend for your needs. The small ones are way better compared to say whole foods, a chain store, because you are talking to people who really love what is in the store. And in my case everytime I go to a small one they always help me out and talk to me for like a half hour about all their products.

lol @ tony tipical male response

But way to go! At least you are thinking in the right direction!

I love this kind of stuff! I recommend an exellent book:
The Seven Pillars of Health...after I read this book I was so motivated, I seriously was vegan... I don't remember for how long, but I did it! And I felt great, energetic, I was drinking tons of water. Buying loads of veggies.

But the downside it is super hard, honestly I don't work. And well buying veggies all the time is super expensive, especially for me because I have such a fast metabolism and need so many calories to maintain my weight. But well great for people who have a slow metabolism.

So regardless I didn't stick to it, and it doesn't help that my boyf is a carnivore and I have to cook for him, and then make a seperate meal for me. It was just too much for me honestly and got too expensive.

If I lived on my own and bought my own food, I would so do it again!

Good luck

Re: I am becoming a little obsessed

there are many different types of vegetarianism:

Terminology and varieties of vegetarianism

[edit] Main varieties

There are a variety of different practices of vegetarianism. The following table summarizes the most common types of vegetarian diet:
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism-no meat of any kind; does allow eggs, dairy and honey
Lacto vegetarianism- no meat of any kind, no eggs; allows dairy and honey
Ovo vegetarianism- no meat of any kind, no dairy; allows eggs and honey
Veganism- no meat of any kind, no eggs, no dairy, no honey


Other dietary practices commonly associated with vegetarianism

* Fruitarianism is a diet of only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
* Macrobiotic diet is a diet of mostly whole grains and beans. Not all macrobiotics are vegetarians as some consume fish.
* Natural hygiene in its classic form recommends a diet principally of raw vegan foods.
* Raw veganism is a diet of fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
* Dietary veganism: whereas vegans don't use animal products of any kind, dietary vegans restrict their veganism to their diet[6]
* Freeganism argues that all commodities produced under capitalism, not only those from animal sources, contribute to exploitation and avoid buying anything, including food. Freegans thus focus on acquiring foods and other commodities by means other than purchasing, including foraging for wild plants and gardening with intent to cause as little violence and ecological destruction as possible through their consumption. While many freegans are vegans or vegetarians, others will eat animal products that would otherwise go to waste under the justification that doing this does not encourage further animal exploitation.

It should be noted that most vegetarians also are aware of avoiding products that may use animal ingredients not included in their labels or which use animal products in their manufacturing i.e. cheeses that use animal rennet, gelatin (from animal skin, bones, and connective tissue), some sugars that are whitened with bone char (e.g. cane sugar, but not beet sugar) and alcohol clarified with gelatin or crushed shellfish and sturgeon.

Semi-vegetarian diets

Semi-vegetarian diets are diets that primarily consist of vegetarian foods, but make exceptions for some non-vegetarian foods. These diets may be followed by those who choose to reduce the amount of animal flesh consumed, or sometimes as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet. These terms are neologisms based on the word "vegetarian". They may be regarded with contention by strict vegetarians, as they conflate terms for vegetarian & non-vegetarian diets.

* Semi-vegetarianism — A diet in which the only animal flesh consumed is seafood and/or poultry.
o Pescetarianism — A diet in which the only animals consumed are fish or other seafood.
o Pollotarianism — A diet in which the only animals consumed are fowl and poultry.
* Flexitarianism — A diet that consists primarily of vegetarian food, but that allows occasional exceptions.

Vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

id probably do one of the semi-vegetarianism diets.

Re: I am becoming a little obsessed

yeah I went semi-vegi...I ate a lot of fish, since well my boyf is a fisherman he loves fishing, and would bring fresh fish all the time in summer.

And they say organic chicken is really good. I tried it once...lol ... Organic is too pricey

Re: I am becoming a little obsessed

Well great for you Holly!! I became vegan about some months ago and so far, so good. I too am certainly obsessed with all-natural products. I've thought about starting to make my own perfume (for starters) I know that has nothing to do with what your saying, BUT I do recommend visiting your local libraries just to see what they have on vegetarian eating.
It's not easy doing it, I suggest going into it slowly like you said by slimming down the intake of meat you have everyday. You wanna make sure you have all your nutrients though, so Vitamins are good too. G'luck huns and I wish you all the best!!

Re: I am becoming a little obsessed

Read the book "The Metabolic Typing Diet" and see if you're even a candidate for vegetarianism. Some people can handle it. Some people can't at all and shouldn't even try. According to that book, I am a protein type and should eat meat fairly often. I tried going vegetarian and hated it. I ate really well and felt absolutely awful. After a couple months, my body felt like it was going to collapse. As soon as I went back on beef, I felt better. I need meat in my diet. When I did the Atkins diet, I felt better than I ever felt. But I got off it because I missed bread.

Everybody is responding to your comment about changing diets. What else do you want to know about?

What's your meat intake right now? I mean, if you're planning on cutting down to one meal right away you're going to crash.
