Morning Veggie Lovers,
Feeling real good this morning...and wanted to "second the motion" about Dominique. She has a vast knowledge of food, all things veggie, and health in general, I count her as an incredible resource. My ears can attest to that! Thanks Dominique, this morning's run was warm and comfy...smiling. Kelt and Sachita also are great resources for us on this site and thread. I have been a veggie/vegan for less then a year, and have gotten much of my information, recipes right here on this thread. So, here's a thank you for the person who started it, and all who have, and continue to contribute to it. Greco Quote:

Day 5
Hi Veggie Lovers,
Day 5 has come and is almost gone. Tomorrow Day 6 green juice only all day, and evening for the next 5 days. Skin is smoother, already? Amazing, yes. Cravings? Oh yes, those too...I drink H2O or more green smoothie. More changes? Yes, but I won't write them here. Thanks for listening to me talk to myself, lol. Greco |
just a quick post and to subscribe. After some consideration I decided to go vegan. I juice quite a bit too.
More later. I look forward to recipes and ideas. Thanks Tamara |
Day 6
Day 6
and first day on only Green Juice! Almost done. about 52oz energy all day. A client of mine looks at me and says, "You look even more different then when you stopped eating meat, and running and all that crazy stuff...What are you doing now?!" I laughed and smiled and told him. He looked at me very strangely...then asked, "Do you want me to get you a pizza?" I said, "Thank you, no. I'm good." We had a terrific session...smiling. So, Veggie Lovers this is Joe Cross, and he has other of these video tips on youtube so check them out for more information. Greco How much juice should I drink per day? - Reboot |
Greco are you doing the 15 day reboot or the 5-5-5? Yea for you!
I mentioned in another thread that I juiced live, just picked greens I grew. Within days there is a notable difference in my skin. I drink about 20-26 oz of juice a day. I have not done a juice fast. Just recently I stopped coffee and that was huge for me. It's day 5, lost count, and I'm still getting headaches but I also stopped diary and meat. I decided to just go cold turkey with it all. My body is going through changes and sometimes its uncomfortable but I also feel it restoring. I'm having a huge cravings. My roommate sets the coffee pot to auto brew at 6:30am and I can smell it in the morning. I did not take everything out of the house and amazingly I have been cooking up food I had, I;m not longer eating and preparing it for my roommate. I honestly can't believe my will power. I have not cheated. I might do a juice fast once I ramp up the garden. I start the seeds soon and by march I have cold hardy greens growing. I can't wait! I may try and get a buddy to fast with me and go for a full 10 days. |
Hey Veggie lovers, I thought I would share this interview as there is so much cleansing and detoxing going on here. My co-host Misty did this interview, and I learned so much from this guy, that I am sharing it all over the place. It's a half hour and an easy listen.
http://www.archive.org/details/Tales...r.JoeMarshalla I am pleased to welcome Joe Marshalla Ph.D. to the show. Dr Marshalla is going to talk about methods of detoxing our bodies, and why it's necessary in today's world. "Health and diet are becoming more important to everyone these days. Everything we eat has a profound impact on how we feel and subsequently, on how we think. The biochemistry of the body is intricately connected with the biochemistry of the brain. These two systems are constantly affecting one another and can not be separated. Just like one can not separate two sides of a coin, one can not separate these two systems. In truth they are actually one in the same. Every being on the planet now faces new challenges as a result of environmental toxicity. This venerable soup is everywhere. It's in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Unfortunately, one can not escape this reality. The problem arises when out body can not eliminate toxins faster than we accumulate them. When this occurs we develop a toxic body burden which ultimately leads to a host of diseases. With this understanding Dr. Marshalla can lead you through a whole host of health and diet options. From transitioning through different types of diseases to wellness, to detoxification protocols, to whole food choices and vegetarian diet, Dr Marshalla is an encyclopedia of knowledge. To find out about the many books, classes and services offered by Dr. Marshalla you can go to : http://www.repeatlessness.com/ Joe's Zeolite recommendation: Natural Cellular Defense or NCD. You can purchase at Waiora.com Theses are the only purified zeolites in the world, therefore the only ones he recommends. |
Growing your own food
Sachita,
I've found that its actually easier to go "cold turkey"...I'm doing the 5 5 5 until 4/21/12 60 days of no grain, nuts, or seeds, just incredible nutrition, phytonutrients, and beautiful forest green juices...smiling Sounds like your already juicing, and doing well...I had already quit the coffee several months ago so no headache, but other beneficial changes... at times the craving to have something chewier then juice came, but I'd only be cheating myself so I stuck with it, and will continue. How terrific that you can grow your own greens! Welcome to Veggie/Vegan world. Several other veggie lovers here also grow their greens, and other plants. Drinking lots of H2O I've found is a must to feel full, and more comfortable. continued success, Greco Quote:

Growing greens is pretty easy actually if you ever want to to take the plunge I'm happy to help. Better yet come on out to the farm, I'll put you to work, you'll learn, get healthy and I'll get free labor. lol I juice a lot of kale, romaine, spinach, bok choy, celery, fennel, even broccoli. Whatever I can get my hands on. I take the pulp which still has some nutrients and I feed it to my hens, blend in my vitamix and add it to my dog food and or compost it. As you know there's lots! One of my favorite things lately when I'm craving sweets (which is several times a day :( ) I put frozen organic mango in the vitamix, a banana. pineapple and some rice milk. It's yummy! |
OMG I finally get my stand mixer in the mail to do some serious baking! Now I need tried and tested dairy free healthy vegan recipes. Please turn me onto recipes you've made and loved. I am looking for bread, fruit and nut cakes, maybe some cookies for Mia who is allergic to dairy. I try and find her stuff with organic ingredients- pumpkin, carrot, agave, honey, apples, etc.
|
Hey Sachita,
Would you mind putting up some pictures of your stand mixer and how you're using it? I'd like to see how you're using it when you do. Many thanks, SNH Quote:

I am in bed today kinda sick. I've been drinking and eating a lot of fresh and juiced greens and herbs. I also stopped dairy, coffee, meat, processed fats. I am in full detox mode and feeling like poo. :( This is about day 6 or 7 I think.
When I get sick my craving for sugar and carbs gets out of control. |
Awesome. Thank you. I am not on FB, but I will link to your page if I do. I look forward to seeing what you post.
I get the same cravings when I feel sick. I hope you're feeling better soon. :-( Sunshine should be coming your way soon. Quote:
