I received a very sweet email from a fellow love healer that I want to share with you. The header of the email was LOVEHEAL...what I learned...
-sugar is crack for me. best not to get on that train
-i actually like vegetable broth
-when prepared properly vegetables can make a satisfying meal
-there is power in saying 'no thank you' to food/alcohol
-eating off my children's plates 'counts'
-i should consume dairy and wheat in much smaller quantities
-eating well should stem from love, not deprivation
-being hungry can get me into trouble
-treats are important, but if you have a treat everyday, it's not a treat, it's a habit
-I miss caffeine more than alcohol
-we (as a culture) eat too much; I (as a person) eat too much
-the first thing I will have when I finish LHT is a brilliant cappuccino
So everyone what did you learn? What is your list? And how will it change the way you go about your day to day? What are you most grateful for? And what have you missed the most? Do Tell me please.
Have the happiest Thanksgiving everyone.
all my love,
kls

WEEKEND THREE
You guys are in the home stretch!
A challenge for everyone cleansers and others... On Sunday a whole day of veggies soups and green juices!
If you did this already this week you can do a mono diet for all day of Sunday. A mono diet means the exact same meal breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner. I like to do kitchiri for a whole day. Others like brown rice, greens and kale. Ideally, it is a warming wet meal that is very easy to digest. Mung beans are ideal.
Comments... For some reason they all just published this am so I am sorry to have not responded till now. For those of you who were so hungry and a bit angry, I hope that has passed. This is only 21 days of your entire life. Really. Try to flip the perspective a bit and see it as only a moment. If you have fallen off over the last few days, please jump back on and commit for these last few days. Tuesday morning you can have whatever your heart desires. If it has been a struggle, resist the urge to be hard on yourself and gently recommit for these final few days.
For the last few days it is a good time to write down what you have learned... i.e When I am faced with a plate of cookies I can't help but to eat 6 cookies OR When i omit certain foods I have a lot more energy OR maybe I need to cut down on my beer consumption.... Whatever it is think about it. Maybe you can make a simple choice... i.e I am only going to eat one cookie a day OR I think cheese will be a treat only for me moving forward... OR I am only going to drink 3 days a week instead of 6.
You now have loveheal in your toolbox so if ever you are feeling sluggish, depressed, chubby etc... you can jump on loveheal for a week. For some people eating this way feels so good, they may choose to eat this way Mon-Fri and have some treats on the weekend. It is up to you!
Move your body today.

WEEK THREE
The general plan stays the same:
Lemon water upon waking
Exercise 1 hour a day
Eat breakfast within a half hour of waking
Drink a lot of water and herbal tea throughout the day
Still No:
Wheat ( no pasta, bread, cous cous, bulgar, seitan)
Soy ( no tofu, tempeh, soy milk etc.)
Corn
Nightshades: Eggplant, Tomato, Peppers
Peanuts
Alcohol
Omit oranges, super tropical fruit
Sugar (Stevia or Grade B maple Syrup allowed for sweetener).
For Cleansers:
Keep on diet just the same. If you enjoyed your mono diet yesterday, you could continue again today or pick another day to do this week. Pick one day sometime between Wed-Sat to do just broths, blended soups and fresh press juice. You could make a healing greens and veggie soup and drink that broth all day long. You could also pick up fresh juices from the juice press or organic avenue to drink all day. Think about your week and pick your day now.
For Others:
This week you can either add soy or dairy back into your diet. NOT BOTH. I recommend dairy first, but if you have been dying with out soy, go for soy. Pick one and do so mindfully... if you have been known to eat a whole block of cheese in one sitting, maybe just start with yogurt. I love dairy. A lot of the dairy available to us is crap. Whenever possible go for raw and organic. Murray's Cheese has a lot of great options, so does Provisions in Fort Greene. Check out uddermilk.com if you are interested in having raw milk, cheese and yogurt delivery. You are looking for grass fed, least processed as possible. For people who feel they are sensitive to dairy, try raw dairy and see if you find a difference in your digestion. I do. My most favourite book about food in the world in Nina Planck's Real Food. If you are at all interested in food, this is a must. It is easy to read. And she breaks down all misconceptions you may have about dairy. I have other great resources. Also check out Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.
Plan your week. Look at your calendar this morning, schedule your exercise, plan your shopping. Write it on your google calender or whatever calendar you keep. Make a date with a friend to move your body.
More soon.

LOVEHEAL WEEKEND
Sorry for the delay in posting!
OK weekend...
For cleansers...
Keep on the plan for today. On Sunday eat a mono diet. Choose something simple and healing like kitchiri and eat it every meal and snack of the day. This will give your body a nice rest. Drink water and herbal tea all day. A cup or two of green tea is fine too.
Others...
Like last weekend allow yourself one treat, cocktail, glass of wine, cookie whatever you wish. Just one treat.
Everyone...
Today or tomorrow commit to a longer exercise time. Walk the central park or prospect park loop with a friend, go on a two hour bike ride, take a class and then go for an exerwalk or a run. Try your best to be moving for two hours. It is good to have a partner in this endeavor.
More on Sunday eve.
You guys are awesome.

Karyn
p.s those of you who are battling colds a mono diet of kitchiri or chicken and vegetable soup should help you a lot! I also recommend taking a mustard bath, make it as hot as your can stand it and soak for 20 minutes, follow with a shower.

Some thoughts
Trim:
For people who are hungry, please, please eat more! This plan is not designed to starve your body in any way. We are looking for healing, not starving. Include more protein from our list of meats or from beans and lentils. Take some time in the evening to cook rice, beans and roast veggies to store in your refrigerator so you will have when you are hungry! Add almond butter to your morning smoothie. Try to eat a little more often if you have noticed you are hungry. If you are going to be somewhere with out food choices for you i.e on a set for job or stuck in the office, bring food with you!
Important!!!!!!! You must eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up. Not 2 hours after, when you get to the office. After you have had your lemon water.
If you have been eating the same thing every day, try to mix it up.
Some ideas...
Pumpkin salad
Peasent soup ( this one is easy, skip the shredded parmesan and add any other veggies you have on hand!)
Maybe try out some recipes to cook at Thanksgiving. You can bring the healthy dish to the table.
Look on tastespotting. There are some great squash recipes and for the sake of the plan you can omit dairy etc.. if in the recipe.
Heal:
A lot of people have colds. Everywhere you go people are coughing and sneezing. Try to go to sleep early a few nights this week. If you are feeling like you are coming down with something, take a few drops of oil of oregano a few times a day and pump your body with immune zoom. It works! I kick myself when I don't take it in time. Daily you can take an immune tonic, I love this one. Quantum Organics makes some great tonics too, they are sold at whole foods. Also these from New Chapter are also great. It is good to start caring a little extra for your body at the beginning of cold season so you wont go down too many times!
Love:
Taking time to eat consciously, exercise more, rest more and nourish your body is a gift. We are beyond blessed that we have the freedom to make the choice to live with out for a little while. It is indeed hard at moments as we are accustomed to staring at the 40 different kinds of organic chocolate at Whole Foods or Trader Joes....Or perhaps calling for take out from anywhere we choose at any hour we choose...Or choosing from 50 different kinds of beer to drink.... Our choices are endless. After this plan is over, we are free to go back to eating whatever we want, whenever we want. Instead of letting your mind spend time obsessing over what to eat and when to eat and what is next, prepare ahead and use that mind space to make art, music, complete a project, write a letter, make holiday presents, play tag with your kiddos or whatever you may wish. Be mindful not to allow your thoughts go down the crazy path of obsession. Notice your tendencies and try something different today.

WEEK TWO
For Everyone...
You can choose to stay vegetarian or add some meats:
cold water fish... salmon, trout etc.
Lean lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, hen, venison
The diet this week is similar to last. Upon rising lemon and hot water.
Whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet, bhutanese red rice etc... all in their original form i.e brown rice as oppose to brown rice pasta
Vegetables: everything but corn, white potatoes, eggplant, tomato and pepper. Try to consume leafy greens that are in season as often as possible. If you are finding this hard please comment!
Today we made pesto from Kale, sea salt, olive and flax oil, walnuts and basil and we will put it on everything this week!
Legumes/Beans: Eat lentils and beans often. There are so many great options try something new. I am in love with all of these options. They sell at whole foods too.
Nuts: everything but peanut and pistachio. Be mindful of how many nuts you eat! Eat as a small snack, add to salads or add to smoothies
Fruit: try to lean towards in season local fruit like pears and apples. Berries are great especially blueberries. During this part of the diet stay away from highly acidic fruit like oranges and strawberries. And no grapes.
NOTHING TO EAT AFTER DINNER!
Exercise and body:
Find time to move your body. Also find time to rest. If you can try to get to bed by 10pm 2 nights this week. Notice how you feel in the morning on these days. On days when exercise doesn't happen, instead of hating on yourself take a moment to look at your day tomorrow and see when you can definitely fit it in. If you are having this thought relatively early in the evening, maybe see if you can do a 10 minute yoga sequence. Downward dog to plank, hold plank for 3 breaths, back to down dog, hold for 3 breaths, back to plank, do this 10 times. If you have never done this in your whole life, I really recommend it! If you have a partner on the plan, do it together and laugh. Try it everyday this week, increasing the number of breaths, working up to holding plank for 10 breaths 2 weeks from now. And then if you are super inspired do this. If you do these 2 practices often, I believe you will change your body. It need not be complicated or even hard core, just consistent and with a certain amount of self love and ease.
This isn't easy! You guys are really killing it.
If you are hungry eat more and perhaps eat more often.

WEEKEND!
For the weekend....
Cleansers....
For people look for a more full on cleanse continue on the plan as we you have done this whole week for Friday and Saturday. On Sunday have a day of just soups, broths and juices. You can take Sunday off of exercise too. If you were unable to exercise 5 days this week instead of a day off take a long walk or bike ride, something outside on Sunday. If you are resting, maybe take a hot bath or de-clutter your drawers/desk/closet. You can make a huge pot of veggie soup in the morning and drink the broth all day long to make it easy.
For folks who are on plan b... Continue with exercise for the weekend. If you were unable to get in all of your movement this weekend plan a longer time of exercise on Saturday or Sunday. Continue to eat as you have done all week but allow yourself one treat, either a glass of wine, something sweet etc... Just one treat. Not dessert and wine. One thing either on Saturday or Sunday, not both days.
Keep drinking water and tea. Continue to start your day with lemon water. IF you are hungry, eat more frequently and be sure to be getting enough protein!

LOVEHEAL DAY 3
SUGAR
Ok, many texts and emails about sugar.
I promise that it will get easier if you can push through about 5 days. If you have not yet made it one day. Today is your day.
Alternatively sweet and satisfying ideas...
An apple with almond butter
A smoothie with berries, almond milk, almond butter and a dash of grade B maple syrup or stevia.
With your dinner... roast butternut squash and then mash it up, olive oil and sea salt. It is both sweet and salty.
When you are craving sugar, ask yourself if you are hungry, stressed, bored etc... and try to answer honestly and then act accordingly. If you are stressed at work, get up from your desk and lie on the floor and take 10 deep breaths. People will think you are nuts but this is a tried and true method. Or go outside for 15 minutes and take a walk, you are most likely not being that productive at that moment and a walk will take your mind to a new place. If you are hungry eat something with protein in it.
VEGGIES and QUICK IDEAS
try your best to get some leafy greens into your body everyday...kale ( i love lacianto/dinasaur kale, collards, swiss chard etc..). These greens are quick cooking. You can walk into your home hungry, put olive oil and sea salt and greens in a pan and they will be ready for you in no time. You can also add to smoothies! An easy dinner is kale cooked in a pan ( cast iron if you have), with olive oil, sea salt, fresh cilantro, and a good curry powder. Once kale is cooked add aduki beans and cook for a little longer, have over brown rice or on its own. We try to have soaked beans, brown rice, lentils etc always cooked and in our refrigerator so when we come home, we can make a healthy meal fast. If you can do a little bit of preparation you will be so happy when you walk home hungry.
This time of year we have so many root veggies in season. Chop up different types of squash and have then on hand so when you get home you can make roasted root veggies. All you need is olive oil and sea salt and a fresh herb. Put in the over on 400 and roast for 30-40 minutes.
Fruits and veggies to avoid during this time...
Bananas
Grapes
Rasins
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Eggplant
Corn
Peanuts
Dried fruits for serious sugar addicts others can have in moderation.
More soon.

DAY TWO
EXERCISE...
For those of you who currently do not exercise at all, I understand an hour a day is a tall order.
If you are under 30 ( Scarlett's crew) and you don't exercise, now is your moment to get your butt in gear so you can transition into your thirties and be hotter than you are now. And for you guys there is more time than you know in your schedule! An hour of exercise is much more helpful than 30 minutes more of sleep. I promise you this. Winter is coming and so is darkness, you need the inner light. If you are like me and you work a lot, some days it seems insane so on those days look at your map and find three 20 minute sections, or 2 30 minute sections and walk fast. Leave your home a little early. If you do not have sleeping children, go for a walk after dinner. Or do an exercise DVD! Look here from a post from the Spring version of the plan, there is a list of exercise DVDs at the bottom. If this is a problem for you please email me, it is important to move your body during this plan! I can help you find a way to move, I promise
SUGAR CRAVINGS...
For people who are missing the sugar definitely get some herbal teas to drink throughout the day, it will help you a lot. The spicy ones with cinnamon are especially helpful. Also a green juice in the late afternoon will be super helpful!
BOOZE...
Sparkling water and lemon or lime, lots of it and Kombucha, GT's is the best.
COFFEE...
If you are dying have a cup of strong green tea. You can even get a green tea latte at a lot of places like whole foods with almond milk!

DAY ONE
I hope you all had hot water and lemon upon rising.
If you drink 5 cups of coffee a day, taper back one cup less a day.
Remember:
NONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
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).
Sugar
Omit oranges, super tropical fruit
(Stevia or Grade B maple Syrup allowed for sweetener).
MAKE A PLAN FOR FITNESS. Walk, bike, yoga, run, class, whatever you fancy or even if you don't fancy, move your body for one hour. If it has to be your walk to and from work wear sneakers and walk at least twice as fast as your normal pace.
No eating after dinner. Nothing even food on the plan.
Good Luck!!!
