If so it must be mine field..
What about toxins, most processed and commercially grown veg and meats and medicines is toxic these days..Doesnt it say somewhere in a Hadith a toxin even in small amount is Haram?
Dont waste your time replying if you dont want, i have for a long time tried to satay away from such foods anyway..Including Pork, i had a tour of a commercial Pig farm once, i could never support that industry, how those creatures are treated is a sin for sure..
Main reason i am replying to thread, I heard on Radio earlier, a study showed Oreos to be more addictive than Cocaine and Heroin, i kid you not..:D
The more dedicated you become in your religion, the more you are aware of those things and keep in mind what to eat and what not to eat. For you right now, you think..wooow a mountain to climb and so hard. However, if you have never done that and suddenly just jump in it, it is rather difficult so to say. However slowly your habits change and you automatically look at the ingredients. Often because i am aware of those additives you automatically also notice how much c**p is put in our food so to say. It is not food anymore. In other words, i have stopped eating A LOT of food although it may not contain pork or non-halal additives. Just seeing all those additives that really are not good for your body, well i was thinking never mind then. I about 2 years ago started to experiment with meat. Slowly eating less meat. First once a week, to make a sandwich with some chicken meat. Then i was planning to eat once every two weeks, but i automatically ate once maybe every month.
I noticed two things. It almost tasted as if somebody had put A LOT of fat in that chicken that i was always buying and eating. This was because my tastebuds were going in to their original start so to say. So i tasted A LOT of fat. That was just nasty. All the meat that i ate at peoples houses was tasting as if i was eating just some fat. So when i ate meat i only took a small part, off course people being all surprised about why i did not grab the most delicious part of the meal..(the meat) XD.
The second thing i noticed, i suddenly lost a lot of my belly fat, without doing that much exercise, as a matter of fact, i was even exercising less, but i lost a lot of fat around the sides. That was some very surprising stuff.
A third thing i also noticed was, that the muscles i had, didn't really go away that much. It adapted but not as how those expert say. I became a bit less, but i still have a lot of muscles, despite me eating now and then some eggs and dates. For the rest, i eat what i want to eat. I have also tried to eat less. As our prophet has said to fill up your stomach with 1/3 food, 1/3 water, 1/3 air. In other words, never fill up your stomach. This also is very surprising as you have more energy if you do that.
About the Oreo's well it doesn't surprise me whatsoever. Criminals will do whatever to keep selling their products. In the recent years i was losing a lot of hair getting bald fast. However since i changed my diet, my hair loss suddenly has slowed down. Although i do not care so much a bout it, as i have shaved my head a couple of times in the past it baldness suits me :). Alhamdulillah.
I have also experimented with different food, for example eggs from the far or the grocery store. Different taste and different color. Just the same with milk and yogurt and other things. What you buy in the grocery store to me i know i have something in my mouth but it is tasteless. This year for the first time growing some cucumbers, potatoes, watermelon, strawberries, herbs and different types of tomatoes on the balcony.
Btw, better replying to some respectful talk, instead of watching some useless videos on youtube :).
