Hello readers!
So it's been my first week off meat and dairy. I know I can hear you already thinking "is this woman mad!"
Actually, I probably am but not because I have given up two food groups I used to love. In fact, I think it's one of the sanest things I have ever done. Now I am not saying I am giving it up forever but I am taking a break for now. But why? I hear you ask!
I recently watched a documentary on Netflix that completely shook my world. It was not a documentary on the inhuman treatment of animals because something like that would have compromised my omnivorous diet forever. It was a documentary that demonstrated the link between humans eating meat and the growing number of diseases we face throughout our lives. The documentary’s research linked a growing number of diseases to foods we consume in our daily diet. Now, I understand for as long as humans have been around, meat has been one of the most important food groups to date, but the documentary suggests that through the years the production of meat has morphed in to an industry full of gross farming, bacteria from packaging and distribution, and chemically treated products with immoral treatment of animals. Explaining that meat and dairy was not what it used to be. It also suggests the human body does not need milk or dairy after we develop teeth. The documentary goes on to suggest that our bodies thrive on a non-acidic environment. People who are prone to disease or cancer need a non-acidic environment to help fight the disease. Their research suggests that red meat, poultry, fish and dairy including eggs, milk and cheese are amongst the highest acidic food products available to us.

perspective_2.jpg

I'm not saying that I'm totally convinced or that I will never eat meat or dairy again but this documentary opened my eyes to the possibility that maybe there was enough information and research to suggest that many human diseases including diabetes and high blood pressure are related to our diets. Furthermore, they believe there is strong evidence that dairy inflames acne and eczema to name a few skin problems. After watching over half the documentary, I wondered what a life without milk would be like. Don't children and women need milk for strong bones? But in the second half of the film they explain that babies only need milk for the duration of time that we don't have teeth. We cannot eat food so milk is the only source of nutrition available to us. Milk as we know it has so many hormones and growth factors that are unfamiliar to our bodies and are associated with all types of nastiness, while the fat content in it goes through the roof.
Now I can be a very sceptical person sometimes but started to think about how much meat and dairy I was consuming on a daily basis, which left me shocked. I think eating a high protein low carbohydrate diet with the occasional veggie juice was the key to a healthy body when a certain research indicates that we can source all the protein, iron and calcium we need from vegetables (vitamins, we think, we only get from chicken, red meat, fish and dairy). Until I saw this documentary, I believed that carbohydrates increase our weight when really it's the animal fats in our diets that do not allow us to break down the carbs. So I dove deeper in to my research and started to calculate the ingredients in my diet. Although I love my fresh fruits and vegetables, I realised that the balance between my vegetable and meat/dairy intake was skewed. I ate more meat and dairy than vegetables and added up my daily intake which included a few cups of tea and coffee with milk, eggs, yoghurt, a little cheese, butter on bread and maybe dessert for the day. I also consumed chicken tikka and haleem and some imported frozen fish with a small bowl of salad with creamy dressing.
Let's just say that the documentary wasn't wrong, I was now aware of consuming a lot of meat and dairy regularly and the reason behind the consumption. I then looked at my children's diet which consisted of milk, dairy, eggs, qeema paratha in the morning, roti, naan, aloo gosht, cheesy salad, burgers, deep fried chicken and a heavy amount of processed meats that are served by child-friendly institutions. I was shocked. I realised we actually are a family with a diet based on animal products.

perspective_3.jpg

My family is happy and healthy, and I want them to grow up big and strong but am I putting too much emphasis on a meat and dairy diet? Are we telling our families that it's healthy to only eat meat and roti in one meal? So here it is. My family is still eating meat and dairy and it’s been 10 days since my vegan diet began. I have made the transition quite easily, researching how much vital vitamins and minerals I need and from which plant based foods they can be acquired from. And to be honest I have never felt better. My energy levels are high, I am sleeping better, my routine is the same and I still exercise and drink loads of water. My diet consists of oats with nuts and fruits for breakfast; lentil based foods including dal, chickpeas, hummus and brown rice for lunch; and salads, vegetable dishes such as vegetable lasagne, desi sabzi, risottos, soups and patties for dinner. I drink raw fresh juices, coconut water and tonics throughout the day. And best of all I get my milk fixes through homemade almond, cashew, oat and soy milk. To include something heavier, I would choose coconut cream which tastes great. There are different vegan milk options available so it never gets boring.
Now I want to stress on the fact that this is not for everyone. This is a personal decision. I have been a healthy young woman to date and have the time to research and plan what my body needs to stay fit. I have always loved plant based foods so I don't feel deprived by making this temporary change. All I am saying is to maintain balance. Notice what you consume on a daily basis. If your diet is made up of more animal based foods, try to teach your body to incorporate more plant based foods in your diet. I still believe that balance and education is the key to healthy living. Start today, it's never too late. Learn about your food, research what you feed your body with. We have the tools and information at our fingertips now. You only have one body so learn about it. Give what it needs to stay healthy.
I will update you all on my progress and the obstacles I might face in the future.
Lots of love,
Shaniera

From time to time in our ‘beauty talk’ section, we feature different designers who share their experiences, achievements and beauty secrets with us. This month You! talks to Lahore-based designer Sumayrah Khan...

Sumayrah Khan’s obsession for fashion led her to create beautiful ensembles. Sumayrah’s label ‘Qashang’ comes out from a Persian term which means chic. She has been designing clothes for modern women since 2012. Recently, she has launched her campaign ‘Distinguished Qashang Ladies On Wheels’ which aims to empower women - giving them an equal opportunity to acquire a mode of transport like bikes that is not a norm in Pakistan. Here is a tete a tete with the designer...

220292_1_033004_mag.jpg




You! From a radio jockey to a designer; how has been the journey so far?

Sumayrah Khan: My journey from being a television host /actor /radio jockey to becoming a designer has been good with its own share of ups and downs which is part of life. I always set goals that help me put things into perspective. I take no one as my competition. Instead, I believe everyone in their own way can pave way for themselves and make a difference!

You! What is the core of your brand?

S.K: The core of my brand is to promote individuality and acceptance of every woman. The ultimate focus is to be the trendsetter rather than following what everyone else is making or designing. Even if that means to cater to a certain niche who understands such principles of looking different and standing out in a good way rather than blending with the rest.

You! What are the latest summer trends?
220292_2_033808_mag.jpg


S.K: Well, I believe that these days simple is the new black, which means being minimalist is trending. There is more emphasis on structured clothing, scarves and sneakers. And robes are making a statement this season.

You! Your initiative is aimed at empowering women, how did the idea come about?

S.K: The brand’s identity since day one has been representing forward thinking women who are all out to break the norms. I was supposed to do a shoot using hand painted vintage Vespas initially but when I went to ‘Distinguished Ladies On Wheels’ first trial session, I realized something more meaningful can be done. Hence this idea came about. We have collaborated with Tayyaba Tariq. She broke the norm to fulfill her dream of becoming a female rider and drove her Suzuki Gs-150 bike through the picturesque northern areas to Pak- China border. In this campaign she is reaching out to forward thinking ladies to join her and learn this great skill set for them.

You! Tell us about your new collection?

S.K: This capsule collection is focused on ‘50s fashion for both eastern and western wear. I chose to lay emphasis on that era as the scooty craze swept the whole of Europe during that time and gained lot of popularity. Also during World War II while the men were away, women began to gain independence that was rare before the war. This is the time when women empowerment started paving its way. Also it promotes organic fashion, for a better environment. It’s inspired from a different era and time yet it’s very contemporary and very much wearable. I have designed organic cotton sarees paired with fusion tops/ kimonos, wrap top with ghararas, cotton jumpsuit and kimonos. ‘50s inspired hair and makeup has been done to perfection by team at Sante salon.

This week You! takes a look at a few Pakistani trends that are sure to make you stand out...

As the temperature fluctuates from hot summers to breezy monsoons, we are getting aware of the season’s hottest trends emerging from the runway and infusing them in our wardrobes. Whether it’s bold printed peplums or our evergreen angarkhas - these trends are taking fashionistas by storm. In the past we used to go gaga over international brands that offered trendy and expensive outfits. But now our very own brands come up with innovative designs that are chic yet desi. Yes, that’s right! Our designers incorporate all the international trends in our traditional outfits that surely make us sizzle all year round. So are you ready to embrace the biggest Pakistani fashion looks of 2017? Here are some top trends straight from our favourite brands that will not only revamp our wardrobes but won’t put a dent in our pockets too. Read on...

222012_1_033535_mag.jpg


The season’s wardrobe staples

Clothes play the most vital role in appearing fashionable. Incorporate these current trends into your wardrobe and viola! You are ready to rock the ‘desi’ look.

It’s all in the cut

Currently, shirts of different cool cuts and sizes are available at all our favourite brands. Be it straight, a- symmetrical, long, very long, knee length and short, the cuts are numerous. So be a part of this monsoon/summer’s diversified fashion, and go for your favourite cut that suits you best.

Front open shirts

Generation’s button down half slit shirts are a new way to flaunt your inner diva. You can pair them up with either jeans and loose pants or even bell bottoms. These flairy pieces are amazing for a day party or any casual gathering.

Peplums

Runways, Fashion Weeks, weddings and parties, peplums are everywhere. The best part about peplums is the novel yet fun feel they give. Peplums look really trendy with bell bottoms, jeans and even with shararas in weddings and parties. They are surely this season’s most sought after trend. You can find peplums in Generation, Ego and Sapphire’s recent collection apart from designers who are incorporating the trend in formal wear.

Angarkha

The ever green angarkha is here to stay! But this time, angarkhas are available in different materials such as khaddar, lawn, cotton and linen. Paired with straight pants, broad bottom pyjamas and tights, angarkhas never lose their charm and ethnic feel. You can find flowy and straight cut angarkhas at Junaid Jamshed, Generation, Sapphire and other designer outlets.

Ruffles

Whether they’re framing the face or spiralling the sleeves, architectural ruffles build the foundation of a dramatic evening look. These austere waves are more modern than the floppier furls of past seasons, making this feminine detail feel new again. If you want to feel the same, grab your ruffles from Icon Clothing, Sana Safinaz and Be One Shop One to make heads turn this season.

Tassel fringe

With 2017 comes a whole slew of new trends, and we could not be more excited about wearing them. One of the biggest trends that was seen on all the runways is fringe. We are sure you’ve noticed this trend at various clothing stores. Fringe is everywhere right now: on sleeves, around the hemline and neckline. Even fringed pants are quite in. Several designers and brands have also used fringes in their pieces this time, giving you a number of choices to take your pick from.

Cold shoulder

One of the biggest style trends to emerge this time is, without a doubt, the off-the-shoulder top, more formally known as ‘Bardot style tops’. At first, baring our shoulders felt like a throwback to another time, but now, it’s so trendy and seen so often, that it has started to feel more modern and fresh. Off-the-shoulder dresses are flirty, cute, and really versatile, and we kind of think it’s a trend that’s going to stick around for a decent amount of time. So why not embrace it?

Get your favourite off shoulder tops from Boho and Icon Clothing. You can even find variations of off-the-shoulder trend in kurtis as well.

Skirts

Skirts, as we all know, are not only one of the most comfortable, flattering, and forgiving items of clothing to wear, but they’re also surprisingly versatile too. And this alone makes skirts our favorite pieces to wear in such a mild weather but they’re also a fantastic way to extend your wardrobe and get creative with fun accessories. Wardha Saleem’s printed skirts are definitely your go-to staple this monsoon.

222012_2_033535_mag.jpg


Waist capes

If you still feel like your figure is getting lost under the cape, you need to embrace the beauty of belting! Because they’re versatile, comfy, and can be effortlessly chic. This is a simple styling trick that can make a dramatic difference. Say yes to waist capes and flaunt them freely by opting for Shehla Chatoor’s glamorous waist capes.

Graphic stripes

If there is one Fashion Week trend you can count on to be huge this year, it’s bold stripes. They’re everywhere; on everything from shirts to accessories. When we say ‘bold stripes’, we don’t mean the classic black and white striped top everyone is required by law to own or a fitted button down with small stripes. Here we are talking about large stripes that are colourful, statement making, and in your face. So, check out Be One Shop One’s awesome striped shirts as they have the chicest stuff channelling your inner style this monsoon and summer. Also, Nishat’s stripes are also the current craze which will make you go gaga over it. You can wear them on a day to day basis or accessorise it well to flaunt it at a night out.

Chequered prints

The very stylish and unique chequered suits with light embroidery and vivid colours are best for the current season. These suits are either worn with tights or pencil pants to add a classy feel to it. Don’t forget to visit Khaadi and Generation. They have quite a few options when it comes to checks and plaids.

Traditional is back

Tulip shalwar was the ‘it’ thing a few months ago, but now this trend is fading. Visit your favourite brand and you will notice that pleated and straight shalwars are replacing the tulip shalwars. Yes they are in vogue again and you just can’t resist buying them. The best part is that the shalwar remains a fashion staple in a sartorial climate where trends flit. Satrangi, Image, Ideas and many more have various designs - go ahead and take your pick.

Bang on pants

Printed pants are a huge trend right now. They are fun and can make your whole look just a little bit more unique. Also, the current raving about gharara pants is just what we have been noticing. They are uber chic and you can flaunt slightly flaired ghararas both casually or formally.

Trotting out your accessories

For accessories, there is a whole diversified take on what kind of pieces you need to wear that match your outfit. Let’s see what is in store for us!

Chunky statement jewellery

Statement necklaces, arm cuffs, art school and tasselled earrings and raw stones have made a huge impact on the runways. The jewellery trends we’re looking forward to also include a wide range of bizarre earrings and hand cuffs. Sapphire’s chunky jewellery will serve your purpose for sure, and for some trendy, innovative pieces, check out Nishat and Outfitters as well.

Teeny tiny Thumbelina purses

We guess some girls just like it small. At the very least, this is true when it comes to one of the season’s handbag trends. To have such stuff this season, you can opt for Sapphire’s super pretty clutches and Khaadi’s traditional yet funky pieces.

The ugly shoe trend

The ‘ugly-chic’ pool slide trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The look we are talking about is plastic slip-ons that re-entered the scene in a major way a few seasons ago. It seems they are hitting the fashion scene in full force right this minute. For this, Chapter 13 and JootiShooti’s surreal collections available online might be the ultimate choice.
