Why The Nasty Thigh Gap Will Not Go Away…..

 Many of you may or may not be aware of the picture that I posted beside this text. Well if you are not, this picture was recently released and caused outrage due to the excessive amount of photoshop they gave this model. All that she could look like she had a “perfect” thigh gap. (Come on it is a swim suit picture so of course they are going to photoshop until the model looks unrealistic). After seeing this picture and having already wrote a blog about this issue it makes me sick that this issue is still around. This picture not only sets unrealistic goals for girls and women all around the world, the sad part is that most girls who look at this picture don’t understand that it is impossible to look like this. And this is body was created with a computer. The amount of publicity this picture recieved gives me a little bit of hope that people still do care about our health and maybe this will be the first steps forward to create postive body images for girls and women everywhere. Photoshop is something that should be used for artistic purposes only, instead of creating eating disorders. To all the girls and women out there who were innocently shopping on targets website and had to come across this disturbing picture just know that this picture was created with a computer. And to the model who had her body distorted just know that it is not you that has to change, it is the person you changed you!

 

On that note Happy Monday!

The Broke Health Nut

Hello Everyone!

So I as you can tell my blog does consist of many different topics and random posts. Today is yet another random post that I will definitely post more of if I get positive reviews. I am posting a healthy recipe that is easy and most importantly CHEAP! Everyone wants to eat healthy and create recipes but can’t because it is so expensive to get the ingredients needed. That is why I am here. I have a cheap, easy and extremely healthy recipe for those who are on a tight budget like myself.

First you will need a can of chickpeas: 

It can be any brand, most chick peas retail for about  50 cents to a dollar.

You will also need: 

Cinnamon- 50 cents/ Brown Sugar- 1.50/ Olive Oil- 1.25

The first thing you want to do is take the chickpeas put them in a strainer and rinse them well: 

Once chickpeas are rinsed and strained pat dry them with any towel or paper towel.

After chickpeas are dried and rinsed grease a pan and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar!

Chickpeas should be coated with cinnamon and brown sugar and ready to put in the oven that is set for 350. Chickpeas should take 20-25 minutes to cook.

After 25 mins. chickpeas should be cooled for 10 mins. and then ready to eat!

This is a great anytime portable snack, as well as a snack for those who crave a good crunch! This is a great chip alternative!
