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.
