A great Loveheal recipe here... just omit the croutons. I made it tonight and used butternut squash instead of Kabocha as I could buy already chopped up local butternut squash at whole foods!
A great recipe for breakfast here... Use steal cut oats instead of rolled oats. and I use maple syrup in place of agave and put toasted nuts and ground flax seeds or chia seeds on top!
What will be people's hardest meals to sort out? You can make this soup and have for dinner one eve and lunch the next day or have soup for dinner 2 nights in a row. X

LOVEHEALFALL Information for week one:
NOT ALLOWED WEEK ONE:
Wheat ( no pasta, bread, cous cous, bulgar, seitan)
Soy ( no tofu, tempeh, soy milk etc.)
Dairy ( no cheese, milk, cream etc.)
Corn
Nightshades: Eggplant, Tomato, Peppers
Peanuts
Alcohol
Meat ( this is just for one week, some people may continue if it feels great. I realize this is super hard for some people!Think about the abundance that you have had in this life and that you will have again).
Omit oranges, super tropical fruit
Stevia or Grade B maple Syrup allowed for sweetener.
IF you are addicted to Caffeine, starting to cut back and replacing coffee or black tea with green tea.Cut back gradually over the course of 7 days so you can function. If you suspect coffee causes no problems for your digestion, sleep, skin etc… then you may by the end of week one continue to have one cup of coffee a day
CONSUME IN ABUNDANCE:
Vegetables… especially those is season squash, kale, anything you see at the farmers market! Have them raw or cooked. The weather has shifted and it is good for us to have warm foods.
Whole Grains… Brown rice, Quinoa, Steel cut Oats ( in their most raw form, not quick cooking)
Fruit…berries and fruit that is in season i.e. pears, apples preferred.
Beans and Legumes... Lentils, Aduki beans, Mung beans etc... Take this time to try new beans you have not experimented with in the past!
Nuts ( minus peanuts) But beware of over doing it on nuts. If you are addicted to sugar, don't chow a whole bag of cashews.
Be mindful, try to make choices that make you feel good. Nut milks are great if you are missing
dairy, also perfect for smoothies.
Water… all day. more than you have ever drank. If you have a headache drink more.
Herbal Teas…. Yogi tea makes some great options, I love their classic India Spice, it is quite sweet, has cinnamon in it which is helpful for those who love sugar. They have a variety of detox teas that are great, a fasting tea that is helpful if you are feeling hungry. Trust me that these teas will help you get through cravings and withdrawals.
Green Tea…. for the caffeine addicts amoung us green tea will save your life!
Kombucha and Tumeric Juice!!!
Essentially you are eating a diet very similar to an elimination or vegan diet. I think of it as a healing whole foods diet.
If you do not cook or prepare any of your foods at home Whole Foods, The Juice Press, Souen, Angelica's Kitchen, Sun in Bloom in Brooklyn, Green Pirate, Lifethyme Natural foods, One Lucky Duck etc.. are your best friends and your ticket to successfully doing this plan. Eating this
way will be a challenge for sure, but it is also pretty special. You are giving you super vessel a little rest and also giving your insides some super love. If you do not cook and order from fresh direct this meal taking out the few pieces of tofu is on the plan. There are plenty of people in this town who eat raw or macrobiotic all the time that it is actually easy to find fast easy on the plan options! If you work in midtown go to Pret and eat the lentil soup and the quinoa salad, pass on the bread!
BASIC DAILY RITUALS
Upon rising 1/2 to 1 whole lemon in a mug of hot water. Drink this whole drink before consuming anything else.
Breakfast… Try your very best to eat within 30 minutes of being awake. IF you are not in the practice of doing this it will be hard, but do it!
Juice... Drink Green juice and vegetable broth often!
EXERCISE! MOVE YOUR BODY everyday for at least one hour. This is so hard for so many people, the New Yorkers on the list have no excuse, wear your sneaks and walk fast and time yourself so you are sure you made a concerted effort for at least one hour.
Make time for yourself. Get your friend or spouse or family to babysit or go chase your kids in the park! Your children will like a happier, healthier parent who knows how to put themselves first when needed!
You can eat whenever you are hungry. But nothing after dinner. I suggest if possible finishing your dinner before 8pm for week one. The earlier the better. If possible, it would be perfect to give your body about 11-12 hours of rest between dinner and breakfast. You can drink herbal tea all evening. No nighttime snacks or desserts. Go for a walk, read a book, clean out
your drawers of clutter, reorganize an area of your home that needs it, have sex, go to sleep, do something else, do not sit on your couch and think about food. Take this as an opportunity to accomplish things you normally do not have the time to do!
BREAKFAST IDEAS:
Energy Smoothie recipe:
Almond milk
Almond Butter
Frozen blueberries
Acai
Green powder
Stevia or maple syrup for sweetner
Hemp protein powder
Warm brown rice, almond milk or green tea, chopped nuts, grade b maple syrup drizzled on top
Slow cooked steal cut oats
Raw Oatmeal ( there are many recipes online and the Juice Press makes amazing raw oatmeal!)
My favourite greens powders for smoothies...
Vital Mineral Green
Catie's Organic Greens
Green powder is super helpful for energy! A must for the moms on here!
DAILY:
Please post any questions, recipes and ideas in the comments for everyone to have. I think recipe sharing on the blog could be really helpful! Instead of me sending an email to everyone I will try to post every day or every other.
Hurray Day one starts November 1!!!! I recommend eating not so far from the plan for dinner tomorrow evening so you can have a great start Tuesday am.
You are rad.

YOU GUYS ARE RAD
So glad everyone is so game.
You can approach this two ways....
As a cleanse or as healthier way of eating.
I recommend cleanse if you feel any of the following...
Tired
Trouble sleeping
Drinking too much coffee
Drinking too much booze
Eating sugar everyday
Feeling your immune system is low ( this is a good way to get strong for cold season!)
Moody/grumpy
Wanting a deep sense of gratitude in general
If you are not cleansing, you will approach this a bit more like lovehealtrim in the Spring, there will be days when you can have treats etc... If you are cleansing there will be some days of just soups and juices!
Take the next few days to decide.
In the meantime start to free your refrigerator of the following:
Dairy
Booze
Juice ( unless green )
Soy
Wheat
Peanuts
Corn
Tomatoes
If you have always dreamed of a slow cooker now is a great time to get one!
Here is a recipe for Kitchiri, a traditional Aryuvedic cleansing dish. You can make this Monday night for day one! I make this all the time in the fall and kiddos love it too! The hing spice is harder to find but you can find at most elaborate spice shops in NYC.
Also I should say now as some of you do not know me, I am not a doctor! I have just been in love with whole foods healing since I was in high school. This whole cleanse is based on years of reading and experimenting and going on health kicks with all my friends and having great results! If you have any health problems at all please go see your doctor. I can recommend many great ones here in New York. Seriously, email me if you need a good doctor! I also know many great healers in all kinds of modalities acupuncture, shiatsu, chiropractic etc....
All my love and then some,
kls

KARYN’S KITCHARI ( Adapted from a recipe on the clean diet)
(4-6 servings)
4 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon ground asafetida (hing) ( hard to find but worth it!)
2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
2-3 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
4-6 cardamom pods
2 cloves garlic
1.5 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup split mung beans ( I love the sprouted ones by shilo farms!)
1/2 cup long-grain or short grain brown rice
A generous serving of sea salt to taste
About 5 cups water
1. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottom saucepan casserole over medium heat. Add asafetida and cumin seeds.
2. As soon as you smell the fragrance of the cumin seeds, add the onion and ginger. Stir-fry until onion begins to turn transparent.
3. Add cardamom pods, garlic, garam masala, and turmeric. Stir and fry for 1 minute.
4. Add the mung beans and rice. Sauté for about a minute or two.
5. Add salt and water, and bring to a boil.
6. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring now and then to prevent sticking.
7. Uncover and check to ensure that the rice and mung beans are thoroughly cooked, and serve.
All my love and then some,

LOVEHEALTHANKYOUCLEANSE
Starting November 1st for 21 days...
Inspired by the cool weather and the pre-holiday craze. It is the perfect time to go without and to reflect on all that we have in over abundance. You will be a expert in mindful eating by the time Thanksgiving arrives and will in turn not feel too full over the holidays!
What you need to know to prepare for your lovehealthankyoucleanse....
We will be eating all foods in their most whole form i.e Brown rice instead of white rice.
Nothing that has been processed i.e no pasta or bread
No Dairy
A gradual cutting down of caffeine starting now. It would be great if you could get down to one cup of coffee of green tea by November 1st ( our start day)
More information the day before the cleanse!
I will post lots of recipes for stews and soups and healing foods.
