Hey Chicks!<\/p>\n

I am apologizing now for this super gross picture in this blog post but I saw this on Facebook <\/a>and had to share with all y\u2019all!<\/p>\n

\"mechanically<\/a>

Would you put this in your body?<\/p><\/div>\n

This picture is of mechanically separated chicken \u2013 yes this is \u201cmeat\u201d that we eat, feed to our little chicklets and use as a source of energy and nourishment!<\/p>\n

Mechanically separated meat is used in all fast food restaurants<\/strong> as well as those frozen meals and foods you see in your grocers freezer like chicken nuggets, chicken burgers etc. Now, although I am not a certified nutritionist I can tell by looking at this super gross pic that this is NOT something I want feeding my body after an hour long Bootcamp butt kicking<\/a>. Not only is it sick looking, it will do nothing for me.<\/p>\n

Mechanically separated meat basically follows this process:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The animal is crushed and made into this paste like substance<\/li>\n
  2. Paste or \u201cmeat\u201d is then washed with ammonia, yes I said ammonia<\/li>\n
  3. To get rid of ammonia taste it is then artificially flavored<\/li>\n
  4. Then dyed to rid itself of the super weirdo pink color<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Yummy right?!!!! That was sarcasm to be clear lol!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    So, my point in sharing this is to just have you think twice about what you are putting into your bodies \u2013 you work so hard to be healthy, happy and take care of yourself and loved ones why would you want to eat ammonia?<\/p>\n

    Remember the old saying “you are what you eat<\/strong>“; there is a lot of truth to this.<\/p>\n

    Your food dictates many things like:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Energy Levels<\/li>\n
    2. Happiness \u2013 yes it does affect your mood and emotions<\/li>\n
    3. Health of your skin<\/li>\n
    4. Aging Process<\/li>\n
    5. Weight \u2013 diet accounts for up to 80% of weight loss or gain<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And the list goes on and on\u2026<\/p>\n

      So instead, EAT YOUR VEGETABLES! <\/strong>You will live a healthier, energetic and tastier life!<\/p>\n

      \"Red<\/a>

      I am not a food stylist but this was delish!<\/p><\/div>\n

      This is a picture of my dinner tonight \u2013 yummy red curry veggies with whole grain brown rice \u2013 delicious and nutritious.<\/p>\n

      If you need ideas of quick and easy recipes for dinner to stay away from the frozen and fast foods be sure to check our blog history<\/strong> \u2013 we have loads of great tips and tricks to keep you on track and ammonia free!<\/p>\n

      Have a fab weekend,
      \nAmanda, your Head Chick xo<\/p>\n

      PS If you aren’t getting your sweat on yet, Bootcamps for February are now posted online for registration!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
