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.
