Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

[Greco]

Hi Folks,

I've decided to begin the juice feasting (prefer it to the word fasting) even more, to step it up. So I'm counting today as Day 1 and I'll report on how
I'm doing daily as I can get to the coffee shop.

Today I began the reboot standard program from Joe Cross's site, the link is in my previous post reply to ElijahRene.

It consists of 5 days of eating fruits, and veggies in any form except for frying of course. I agree with Dominique about the importance of fiber.

So my green smoothies remain, and will up the amount of green juice daily, also can have salads. That's it fruit veggies and more veggies!

Then 5 days of only green juices.

Then a return to eating fruits veggies salads soups smoothies etc only
fruit and veggies with a bit of oil of your choice. I love both olive and flax.

Also I will have tea (non-caffeine), and H2O.

Now nuts, seeds, and of course animals etc I will not have until after
I'm done, except in my case for the animals, don't do animals anymore.

My dates for this is begun today 1/21/12 - 4/21/12, two months...I'll
let you know how it goes...

Green smoothie:
Today I did have Brazil nuts, and chia seeds in my smoothie before seeing
the program.

and 4 apples
green powder
red powder
flax oil
H2O

delicious!

on to the green juice

7 stalks of celery
7 stalks of dandelion
7 stalks of kale

1 cucumber
1 branch of ginger
1 lemon

On my juicer this came to
a bit more then 24 oz

I diluted above with about
a little less then half the juice
to make about a liter.

I froze some, and drank
24oz of the juice during
the day.

This is not such a different day for me, except that I did not have any grains, or pasta. I missed chewing for sure...Tomorrow, no nuts, or seeds, nor grains etc.

Question 1: How do I feed myself? With life-affirming foods.

Wish me luck!
