THE DOCUMENTARIES THAT INSPIRED MY LIFE TRANSFORMATION

As I mentioned earlier, I've been reading about nutrition for years because it's a subject that I'm really passionate about, but what really worked as a catalyst to take the radical decision as to change my diet and lifestyle, was to see these movies.

I remember one day sitting down to watch the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and was left so thirsty for information that I began to see these five documentaries on the same weekend one after the other. Three days later I started my first juice cleanse (of 4 days) along with my husband, and it made me feel so good that I transitioned directly to a vegetable diet (first I said I was going to go vegetarian, keeping organic eggs and fish, but my body was not being so receptive of them so I decided to leave them out completely).

Five months later I have this wonderful blog that inspires me to be better every day, I eat intuitively and I 've noticed that my body responds great to a diet full of fruits, vegetables, super foods, seeds, nuts and grains (sporadically). I stopped drinking coffee or any other stimulant, using artificial sweeteners or refined sugar, white flour, dairy, meat or gluten.

The most important thing is that the change has transformed me not only on the outside, but in my way of looking at life itself, in my broken relationship with food, how I manage my weight and love my body. In exercising because I enjoy doing it, and not forcing myself to do the same routine every day...I'm gentle with my body, I listen and change my habits as I go. I learned to give thanks, to pray, to forgive myself, to not believe everything I hear just because it comes from a doctor or because TV commercials say it is excellent or "natural". I'm a persistent detective and investigator, I love to take the reins of my life, and these documentaries provided me with that last spark I so  needed! I hope they will have the same effect on you!
