Check Out Beyonce's 22 Days Challenge! Can you handle it? Enter for your chance to WIN $100 SBD!
Word on the streets is that Beyonce and Jay-Z are going plant based for 22 days! Are you going to join them?
Psychologists have studied habits in people and through their research have found that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. That’s the key founding principle behind Queen B’s challenge and how I ended up creating this contest!
The icon who inspired me as a teeny-bopper continues to have my vote of approval! She partnered with Marco Borges, her personal trainer, to launch 22 Days Nutrition. From that, she and hubby Jay-Z began a 22 day vegan challenge which went wild all over the internet encouraging fans to join in!
With 113 million follows on Insta, she’s creating a lot of buzz! She sent out the message to her fans “44 days until Coachella!! Vegan Time!! Click the link in my bio to join me!”
I am so excited I could cry! Let me tell you why!
I’m not, never have been and hope to never be in your face, forcing my dietary/lifestyle position upon you BUT what I have had the profound opportunity to experience, in my own healing and transformation, I have this insatiable craving to help share this with others.
Quick back story from me (why am I giving so much of my SBD to this?)
About 6 years ago I was young, I had just graduated from university and life should have been peaking for me. Unfortunately the truth was that I was incredibly sick and I couldn't figure out why.
I went to doctor after doctor, specialist after specialist and they couldn't come up with a solution so they put me on medication after medication until I had a whole drawer full of pills that if I ever would have taken all together would have ended my life, then and there.
What was going on?
I was depressed and I was ready to give up. The doctors had prepared me and basically gave me the whole "We don't know how long you have" speech because they didn't know what was wrong with me!
It wasn't until I took it into my own hands and started looking into food, what I was putting into my body that things changed for me. That is where my new life began.
I donated everything in my cupboards to the local shelter and I went to the produce section. I was super-student-poor and so I did what I could. Eliminating and recording. Studying, reading, listening to my body.
Before I knew it changes were happening within me. The rest is history. For more of that story, I'll have to write another post but let the point ring clear, I saved my life by changing my diet and I hope that by me sharing this with you, that you'll be inspired to look to do the same!
Environment/Social:
With over a 900% increase in demand for vegan food last year, it's clear that the veganism is growing and there are a lot of reasons for that such as health, environment, animal rights, and social influence to name a few.
I don’t call myself an 'vegan activist.' I call myself an "Inspiration activist!"
I believe inspiration is the way to the heart and that's what I want to get to!
So,
While I am including Beyonce’s link in this post, I also invite you to check out my homemade recipes that I share here (that is my way of inspiring a change!) but also suggest roaming around the vegan tag. There are tons of amazing recipes and creations in there that will make you run to the kitchen or store to give them a try.
Here's some recent examples that you can find on my page! Click on the picture if you want the recipe! All organic, plant-based, vegan and gluten free!
So basically, you don't have the 'there's nothing to eat' excuse! 😉
Why not join the power couple of the music world on this and see how you feel?
Because I was the biggest carnivore on the planet despite the fact that I am a serious animal lover and crazy about the environment… I can tell you from first hand experience that changing my diet changed my life.
I used to be so sick the doctors told me that they couldn’t fix me. No amount of prescription fixed my pain or illness. I was depressed and I thought I should just give up.
When the idea of changing my diet came up, I thought I’d rather die. Thank whoever is up above that I changed my mind because I am living a richer, fuller, more fulfilling life than I ever would have dreamed of and it’s my mission in life to share this feeling and freedom with the world!

XO,
I am a girl of many excuses on why I can’t lose weight or make the right choice when it comes to the food I eat.... but after reading and looking Alittle more into this setup I think 22 days isn’t that bad. I am very competitive and truly do need to start a healthier lifestyle. So I am joining in on the challenge.
I am in the process of moving so I believe this will be a challenge for me in itself but could maybe help me learn how to just simply make better choices.
Let’s get it!!!! #eatlikeasuperstar

I would love to try this, but not sure if I'll manage time wise. As it is I often just eat cereal or toast when I'm rushed. It could really be beneficial as I'm menopausal and often bloated, but I hate cooking (hence cereal and toast) and work 11 hours a day. Wonder if it will work if I make a whole lot of stuff and freeze it, but that defeats the object a bit - fresh stuff is best. Also I'm quite restricted as far as ingredients are concerned, living in a small village with mostly the basics available. Jeez I sound so full of excuses! As you said, there's a week before it starts .... let me see if I can plan it. I actually have at least 4 vegan families as friends so maybe they can help ... just wish I wasn't so anti the kitchen. Anyway I've upvoted and resteemed it - step 1.

Well, @leighleigh let's start with addressing your concerns :)
Time:
I believe this is a huge problem in our society. We've got all this designed food for quick, on the go meals and they're not very good for us. That being said what we typically think to grab is usually not so healthy but if we change what we associate easy/fast with in our minds, it's much easier.
So this is a huge concern people bring up to me and I say to them, grab some veggies and hummus, that's super easy and couldn't be quicker. Just rinse the veggies and dip. You're good to go.
A lot of people like avocado toast. I don't usually do that because I am gluten free and I don't like avos haha but it's a favorite for my clients.
Cereal is hard for me. I know that some cereal might be vegan but I am not a fan of a lot of the ingredients and it's almost always accompanied with milk. I am betting you're not using orange juice in it, right? ;)
So, in that case you can sub out plant based milks or go with granola instead. You can make some at night and have it in the fridge.
Freezing stuff isn't the end of the world, not ideal but better than nothing, if it's what will help- go for it!
Ingredients:
This is a matter of perspective. I live in a small town in INDONESIA! We don't even have the same type of supermarkets most people are used to and the stores we have are limited in what I might want to put in my body. I only have 1 market a week to get my produce and I make it by so, it really comes down to commitment. Don't be deterred by this point :)
You've started part 1, I hope this helps lead you into part 2 ;)
Good luck <3

Thanks for the advice! I love avos and have 2 trees in my garden, how awesome is that! Although this year they are not producing much (they go through cycles). I also like hummus, and love fruit and veggies. I can go without meat, it's the dairy I battle with. I love cheese and yoghurt! I think I just love food, especially if someone else makes it :) I've gone through so many different stages over the years, following different diets etc. Thanks for the encouragement, I hope I can get my act together this week.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Oh wow! See?! You're already part of the way there! A lot of people would only dream of having a fruit producing tree right in their back yard! I have seedlings of avos but they're a far way off from my plate ;)
OK so, I know you feel rushed for time but if cheese and dairy are a problem, there are tons of premade vegan sources which you can either try to order online or you could check out some recipes, they're super easy and yo just throw them in the fridge and eat them when a craving comes! I have tons of cheese recipes and have one on hand in general at all times in the fridge ;)
I'm hoping you are able to find a way to make it work! I know dairy can be the hardest, most addictive part but it's also proven to be one of the harder things on our bodies and environment so it's incredible if substitutions can take up the slack :)

There's some great vegan recipes just here on steemit, some are super simple. Red lentils are just so quick to make, just require rinsing check this out https://steemit.com/vegan/@celestialcow/rapid-and-fresh-meal-no-hassel-minimal-preparation-one-pot-super-easy-lazy-vegan. For breakfast make warm porridge and Banana or soak your oats the night before to eat them cold. Get your hands on nuts and dried fruits to snack on the go. Having fresh fruits on hand is a great booster. What can you buy in your small village? I was staying in a small village recently the fresh veg was a bit limiting but they did have a health food section in the super, go for alternative and whole grain things, for example pasta is a quick and easy dish u can add veg too. Can you order online? If u are menopausal look into drinking maca or honey Bush tea.

Hello friend, I want to tell you many things: First, I am very happy that you have healed, I am a believer that food is health, your story is a wonderful example. I have read the post several times and the idea has been spinning in my head .I cook vegan food for my clients, I sell vegan and gluten-free food for stores in my country, I love cooking vegan food, but I'm not vegan yet. It's not that I do not want to be, my diet is vegetarian and for some excuses I fall into the trap and confess I feel bad. I would like to make this challenge to show me that this time I can do it, I want to try 100%. When this list I will do Resteem. I only have one question, is it a daily publication? or one a week with all the meals of the week? Thanks for telling us your story. 😘😘

Thank you for your wonderful response! I'm really looking forward to seeing you participate. It sounds like you have all the makings in your life to have this be a successful challenge for you! I know many people worry about what to make- you already make it so you're more than half way there :)
Everyone has excuses to do things they love and for many of us, we have a strong relationship to the food we grew up with and it takes a motivator to have us try a different way. I hope this contest ends up being yours :)
My story is actually quite deep, I have been considering trying to post it to help motivate people to really put effort into this contest ;)
I appreciate that you understand the healing of food and I believe you can do this- not only that but I believe you can change because the want is already there and now you have an excuse ;) <3

You are a super star @heart-to-heart I hope many people will join this competition. Its amazing to hear your story and how it changed you. Its crazy how we are brought up to think eating meat is normal and okay even when we love animals and the planet it goes against all logic. Not only do I think the sickness from eating meat is physical but its also spiritual too,. The reality is your consuming death from animal that suffered during its life energically is harmful to put that energy into the body. Much love to u and all the best to the contestants.

It's great your vegetarian but the problem I find is vegetarians are so because they love animals but they don't realize the diary industry is very cruel to animals and detrimental to the planet. If these issues concern you then you should definitely consider veganism.

Will i keep uploading food pictures. Or only rice and beans only

OK well the challenge is that you cannot eat any animal products for 22 days and have to take a photo of every meal for the whole time. Even if they are only rice and beans but it means no chicken, beef, fish, milk, eggs or any other animal product to be able to win. Does that help you understand better? :)

The cash to spend in getting them. Have been managing to feed using my sbd but daily the price is going deep.
And to put myself on diet would have been nice for me but with the expensive prices of things. Don't know the possibility of that

yes this is true an unfortunate these are the bigger powers trying to control world economy and food! its disgusting what has happened to the planet and how many countries are suffering for it so some people can make profits. is there a way to grow your own vegetables or even small things, herbs, leaves, fruits?

That will be so difficult in a way. My feeding in school has been from steem but the fall in price is telling hard on me but thanks to a friend who came to my help.

I know that a lot of countries are getting expensive for fruits and vegetables and it's really sad. I was in Maldives and could barely afford the veggies there but the thing is that rice and beans are vegan and very cheap and available everywhere. Do you think you could try that? They are a full source of protein!

Love the idea! I am considering entering - the only thing is I'm traveling a bit this month and I'm worried about missing a day... are there any skip days? Not to eat junk food but if we can't cook ourselves. I really want to participate !!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Hi @itinerantartist! I hate to tell you this but of course there are no skip days! That would completely ruin the challenge! See, the point is that it takes that amount of time on average to make or break a habit so it's a big part of the point to see it through and adapt it to your lifestyle.
I do have to say to you that I travel constantly and I never have a problem maintaining my vegan diet. There are restaurants and food options everywhere, especially nowdays and I mean all over the world. Even in the most remote places I have been to lately, I have found restaurants that have options for me :)
If you want to participate I am positive you can make it work despite not being at home! I would say that would probably even help you solidify that behavior in the future if you wanted to continue on past the 22 days =D
Best of luck to you!

Ya I mean ideally you could learn how to interact with food in all situations so the switch is easier :) I mean that's the point of it being 22 days, for it to set in so I think eating out would be great HOWEVER I have to tell you, sometimes waiters/servers don't know what's in the food so not only do you have to say vegan, you also should specify no milk, cream, butter, meat etc because I have learned this the hard way -_-

Hi @melvadg, the challenge is not supposed to be easy but it's to inspire a change so it would be great if you wanted to give it a try :) They say that 21 days is needed for a dietary change to really stick, that's why I chose to have it be that long. I need it to be documented or else I won't be able to prove you did it. I hope you can make it work and will join in =D If not, definitely start small and try some recipes here and there. Sometimes small steps are much easier ;)

Many misconceptions is vegan diet is expensive but in fact eating meat cheese fish is pricey. Vegtables normally are cheap in comparison look for different stores and do some research. Legumes beans lentils really go a long way cheap and filling also who grain pasta rice etc hope u can make it work

Can you do a post on how to dry thyme and other herbs. Also some fruit flies come when I don't consume produce fast enough. Would you recomend freeze drying or something else.

Some herbs u can dry by hanging upside down on string, I think sunlight helps. I dried some parsley by washing it and spreading it out on a plate and putting it in my fridge which is on the warmest setting and it just dried out, it was an accident. Let me know if that works for u. Yea we are starting to get little flies now. U can try fly traps, freezing food is a way to avoid this. I find alot of vegtables don't like the fridge but in the summer freezing fruit is great. I think the flies prefer the fruit which they can more easily damage. I don't think the flies spoil the vegtables that easily, wash thoroughly any vegtables or peel them before eating. Keep regularly buying fresh foods than doing one shop for the week.

Hi @sweetjoy =D You know, I spend far less than I used to now that I have a vegan diet. Many people think that it's more expensive because of the photos and recipes that are more elaborate but the truth is at the base it's not. If you're just eating a normal meal, taking out the meat and dairy options actually proves to make the meal cheaper. Beans are far cheaper than meat and can be spread out through more meals. I get 98% of my food from the farmers in my village. I spend less than I ever have in my life! I hope that you'll continue to ask questions so we can help you try this challenge out!

I love to try new things. Let me reread the post. The problem with me is my family eats funny.
One..no sauces or condiments.
Another..no corn, tomatoes
Another no beef, onions or sweet potatoes
Another no tomatoes, spaghetti and milk.
See I usually make two dinners in one night. Unless I work out a magical combination.lol

Do u always have to cook together or for him? I live with my partner for 3 years now and we are both vegan but don't always want to eat the same so we sometimes eat separately. I find vegan chili is great for meat eaters because the beans have the taste and filling quality of meat, so do vegan burgers. U could also make the meal based around veggies and just let Mr Cook his own piece of meat if he really wants it. I know its hard to watch other devouring meat, I have to do it when I visit my family but its entirely possible when you know what your doing benefits you and the planet and the animals u can totally go mind over matter, hope u can make it work

Such kind words. I appreciate your thoughts. We have been married 40 years and it is tough to break those old habits...but like I said, slowly we are. I agree, I think the chili would work. I have a vegan burger I am planning to make this week (I'll post it when I do!) Cross your fingers lol. The problem (if you could call it a problem ;) ) Is that I like to cook!

I'm not saying to be sneaky but I have done that with people in the past where we make recipes and meal plans where the husband doesn't even realize anything's happening at first just to get him more open to it. There are tons of vegan meat options worldwide too. I ate vegan burgers every day for every meal when I first was starting because I was a baby and didn't want to die ;) <3

Hmm well, you know when I have clients who are in relationships, I try to make it a team effort and it's usually the male who is the one resisting from the cultural conditioning of men+meat=manly... sigh... I don't know Mr Bird ;) But what I usually do is show the men who think they can't give up meat some really attractive healthy people on Instagram. It always works. You can try Biance Taylor and Jon Venus. Now, they are usually in bathing suits so I warn you but I find that showing these people sparks a fire in most people and so they agree to try. I can't say this for certain with him but just a suggestion =D

I wonder if you talked to him openly about the idea and told him about the contest and showed him some ideas if he would be willing to try it with you?
