I recently watched this influential French movie in the train of “La Nouvelle Vague” and fell in love with Jean Seberg’s look. I would love to recreate this!

yackattack:

Vegucated

I am very excited to see this documentary, and now, I’m officially going to the premiere in New York! I am already going to be out there in the early part of October, so it was obviously meant to be. ;) Back to the film, though (from the site):

Vegucated is a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. There’s Brian, the bacon-loving bachelor who eats out all the time, Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on their plates. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.
But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets?

Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.

I can’t wait to see this, and bravo to the people who put it together! You can buy tickets for different screenings around the US & Canada here. Also, I’d love to meet up with some of you readers and get some awesome vegan food in NY, so if you’re up for it shoot me a message! :D

health-heaven:

If you’re thirsty, you’re going to eat more. Isn’t that strange? But it’s true. So before you sit down to eat, drink a glass of cool water, wait a few minutes, then dish out your sensible portion and begin to eat. Much better! You’ll be surprised at how effective this way to lose stomach fat is. Give it a try!

to-be-thin-and-thriving:

Burn, baby, burn.

Your body is already a fat-burning machine. All you need to do is turn up that furnace so you’re torching even more fat. Here’s how.

DON’T STARVE.
Restricting food kills your metabolism.

TURN IN EARLY.
People who sleep less and are under more stress may have more visceral (abdominal) fat, which interferes with metabolism.

GO ORGANIC.
Pollutants from pesticides may hinder the energy-burning process.

STAND UP.
Breaking up long periods of downtime increases fat burning.

KEEP IT CHILLED.
Drinking six cups of cold water a day can raise your resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily. (That adds up!)

GET SPICY.
Capsaicin, a compound that is found in chili peppers, can fire up your metabolism.

SIP COFFEE OR TEA.
Caffeine can boost your metabolism.

FIGHT FAT WITH FIBRE.
It can increase fat burning by 30 percent. Aim for 25 grams of fibre a day.

EAT IRON-RICH FOODS.
Iron is essential for carrying the oxygen your muscles need to burn fat.
