Hello!
My wonderful box arrived today from http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/
which included; 100g Maca root
100g Carob powder
1Fl oz Marine phytoplankton-- see for benefits www.thebestfoodever.com/oceans-alive
142g Natures living superfood-- see for benefits http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/nls.html
20g crystal manna flakes-- see for benefits http://www.ancientsuninc.com/crystalmanna
I added some NL super food and Crystal manna to my juice this morning, and i have to admit, it was a bit like drinking pond water..! Im sure the flavour will grow on me..well i hope so, im meant to double the dosage at some point!
I am pleased with the MPP (marine phytoplankton) i added 6 drops in a glass of water with some lemon juice and within minutes i got an energy rush. Im still buzzing now! I will have it in the morning and before bed i think. It will help the cells repair and assist my body in doing what it needs to do at night i hope.
I will not continue on with BOTH NLSF and CM as i cant afford them, especially with the price of MPP, so we will have to see which one i prefer. I must admit, i am taken back and impressed at the amount of ingredients in NLSF though.
Now the carob and maca are a different story!
Somebody should have warned me....and i wouldn't have WASTED £3.55 each on them both!!
I was really looking forward to trying them, seeing as i like cacao so much. I though these would be nice too...but oh no, my tastebuds dislike.
Now i have to find something to wo with 100g of maca and carob powder!
Anyhoo i also bought some PH strips to test myself. I was 7.5 (great!) and then 6.5.....and then 6! whats going on i thought..ive eaten nothing but green foods all day!
A bit taken back by this, i did a little research and some questioning and apparently fat can cause the body to go acidic. Now i am eating up to 2 avocados a day, which IS a lot of fat, especially for a raw foodie like myself, so next week when the avo's have ran out, i will reduce my fat intake and see where that takes me. Ive been wanting to do that anyway, so here's a good excuse!
I also have ordered a couple of books. David Wolfe's 'eating for beauty' and 'sunfood diet success systems' which i am really looking forward to receiving.
I also have received Enigma, the cross of changes. I just LOVE that CD so i have been listening to it at bed time and have been drifting off nicely into my sleep, where recently the oddest dreams have been awaiting me! You know what, ive researched them, and they are all mean bad things! great!!!!
anyway im tired and my enigma CD awaits!
Adios!

What i eat
hello friends
I'm going to write this post on what i eat on average, how its working out for me and what i want to change.
My shopping list consists of:
coconut- eat
dates- eat
goji berries- eat
kiwi- eat
satsumas- eat
apple- juice
banana- eat
baby leaves- eat
lettuce- eat
celery- juice
cucumber- juice
carrots- juice
broccoli- eat/juice
beetroot- juice
red cabbage- juice
lemon and lime- juice
ginger- juice
beansprouts- eat
tomato's- eat
avocados- eat
Red pepper- eat/juice
some times i will get berries, other root veg, fresh herbs, radishes and anything else i want to try juicing. I don't always get these foods every week, but these are the most popular and regular foods i will have in my diet.
Daily eating:
7.00am- 1 pint of vegetable juice
10.30am- a small snack like some cucumber or celery
1.00pm- a big salad and if I'm still hungry, 1 piece of fruit
5.00pm- 1 pint of vegetable juice
evening- i tend to snack in the evening. mainly on fat like avocado or coconut and also fruit.
In the morning after my juice, i have so much energy. I feel so energised, bouncing and glowing. I feel great! I have only been drinking juice since Christmas but it has made SUCH a difference already, i cannot stress to you enough how big a difference juicing has made. I threw myself into juicing a bit to quickly, and my body is still adjusting to it and I'm still adjusting the juicing to my body. This is my main form of getting nutrients into my body now. Id love to do a juice fast soon, i think it would be so much fun.
Throughout the day i feel good and energised. Eating greens out the day makes me feel good, but if i eat 1 piece of fruit during the day then i will crave fruit so badly it will drive me nuts, so i only tend to eat greens while I'm at work, and this provides me will all the energy i need.
The evening is where i have a problem. I love to eat and i over eat when I'm not active. I will eat to the point of feeling sick and it not good for me.
My new years resolution is to stop eating when i am full, and i have also drawn myself an eating chart.
Monday- nuts and seeds
Tuesday- no fat
Wednesday- Avocado, seeds or Brazil nuts
Thursday- no fat
Friday- no fat
Saturday- coconut or avocado + dates (if not fasting)
Sunday- if not fasting, fats can be eaten in lieu of sat
* If doing a 2 day fast, fats cannot be be eaten on any other day in lieu of the weekend*
I feel good, and lighter when i eat low fat and the only reason i seem to be eating more fat is because i cut down my fruit intake alot. I used to be eating fruit for breakfast, then as a snack, another piece at lunch and then in the evening. Yes, i was full of energy, but i also didnt loose any weight, which is what i wanted to. I also felt bloated, gassy and i didnt want to consume that much sugar. So i feel better for cutting out the fruit, but i also want to reduce the fat aswell because im having it about 4-5 times a week. Yes im loosing weight, but i feel to heavy. I want to eat more greens like baby leaves.
So there it is!
