QUESTION:

Hi Filippa,

You are such an inspiring person! I have always been very healthy and many people are complaining about it, how did you tell people to back off about it? Or nobody have complained about you eating raw food? Then I have another question…I have been a vegetarian since two years back. And now I got to know that I am allergic to milk, which means it’s like being vegan… What can I eat/drink instead?

Thanks for this boosting blog you have! /Anna

ANSWER:

Hej Anna,

Oh the social aspect of eating healthy… been there, done that 🙂 I have always respected the way others eat, and therefore hope that people do the same regarding my own choices. In the beginning you will get a lot of reactions and opinions, but these will subside after a while… There is no ”normal” way of eating, we are all different. My advice is just to remain calm and explain that you want to treat your body right and give it all the nutrients it needs, in it’s purest form. Don’t let those ”Negative Nancy” type personalities get to you and stay focused on what is right for your body, mind, and soul.

For an alternative to diary, just switch for almond milk. Taste great!

Thank you for the beautiful comments. You all inspire me right back…

Lots of Love,

Filippa
