Looking for suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys,

 

I got Dr Fuhrman's book " Fasting and Eating for Health " and have found

(what I have done so far) it an enjoyable read. I am a big meat and

potato eater but the more I read the more I know that I need to make a

change.

 

I was wonder what most of the people in this group eat on a regular

basis. I am rather inexperienced when it comes to vegetables. I have

always been a picky eater, I guess I will just have to grin and bare

it until I prefer veggies. I doubt that I will ever completely give up

on meat just really cut back and only occasionally splurge.

 

Any way, sorry for the rabbling. I was wondering what most people in

this group eat (variety) and what recipes people in this group have or

would suggest.

 

Thanks for the help,

My meals constantly change all the time. but i had oatmeal for breakfast yesterday. but in it I put ground flax seeds. raisins sunflower seeds and a splash of soy milk. sometimes i will add a little honey. later on at work i might have a bannana or an orange or both for lunch I will have a salad containing dark greens ( good for stress and the nerves ) I might have a bag of organic carrots that I will munch on throughout the day. water is always bottled. dinner will be before 7 pm always and sometimes earlier.It might be steamed veggies with a misu paste i make. fish will be had maybe 3 times a month. I dont have se times to eat i eat when I am hungry. I kinda pick throughout the day. grazing they call it. So I am never really starving. I love avacados in my salad and bean sprouts. I could go on but you get it. just healthy food always... Jennie

Eat more raw fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds.

less processing in food the better thats cooked. They deliberately

try and hook you into french fries, burgers, chips with additives

and people feel like failures cause they can't stop eating them.

Fasting starts one away from whatever coffee cigarettes or other

bad habits has got a grip on us.

 

Cut way back on dairy and bread. If you want bread toast it

and use whole wheat without perservatives. Some people have

an allergy to wheat and dairy and don't even know it they are

both mucus producers.

If you really want meat cut the portion size back so it is

not the major part of the meal. A once in a while treat rather

then a regular fixture.

 

Here is a place with over 20 pages of recipes from a natural

hygiene perspective consider buying her book the Health Seekers

Yearbook for more. The first few pages need a Vitamix super blender

but most

of them don't. Just click on the page.

Its not as boring as it might seem when you get into it.

The question you have to ask yourself is how well would you like

to be and would you pay the price for it?

I have found great help from these green smoothies. They are so

addictive and good for you. Granted they sound and look unapealing

they taste awesome. I have them everyday for breakfast and

sometimes for lunch as well. The fiber and nutrients in the greens

are so amazing for you, and flavor is balanced really well with the

fruit. (These recipes I got from Victoria Boutenko, the Raw Food

author).

 

 

 

Ode to Green Smoothie

 

As the Russian Proverb says: New-is something old, that has been

long forgotten. This summer I re-discovered green smoothies. What

do I mean by green smoothie? Here is one of my favorite recipes: 4

ripe pears, 1 bunch of parsley, and 1 big cup of water. Blended

well. This smoothie looks green, but it tastes like fruit. I like

green smoothies so much that I bought an extra blender and placed it

in my office, so that I could make green smoothies throughout the

day. More than half of all the food I've had in the last several

months have been green smoothies. I have so much more energy and

clarity that I have removed green juices from my diet. (Juicing has

been something that I've Been doing regularly for many years.)

Green smoothies have numerous benefits for human health.

 

1. Green smoothies are very nutritious. I believe that the

ratio in them is optimal for human consumption: about 60%-ripe

organic fruit mixed with about 40% organic green vegetables.

 

2. Green smoothies are easy to digest. When blended well, all

the valuable nutrients in these fruits and veggies become

homogenized, or divided into such small particles that it becomes

easy for the body to assimilate these nutrients, the green smoothies

literally start to get absorbed in your mouth.

 

3. Green smoothies, as opposed to juices, are a complete food

because they still contain fiber.

 

 

4. Green smoothies belong to the most palatable dishes for all

humans of all ages. With a ratio of fruits to veggies as 60:40 the

fruit taste dominates the flavor, yet at the same time the green

vegetables balance out the sweetness of the fruit, adding nice zest

to it. Green smoothies are simply the best tasting raw dishes for

the majority of adults and children. I always make extra smoothie

and offer it to my friends and customers. Some of them eat a

standard American diet. They all finished their big cup of green

smoothies with compliments. They were quite surprised that

something so green could taste so nice and sweet.

5. By consuming two to three cups of the green smoothies daily

you will consume enough greens for the day to nourish your body, and

they will be well assimilated. Many people do not consume enough of

greens and fiber (even those who stay on a raw food diet). The

molecule of chlorophyll has only one atom that makes it different

from a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann

Wigmore, to consume Chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood

transfusion.

 

6. Green smoothies are easy to make, and quick to clean up

after. Many people told me that they do not consume green juices on

a regular basis because it is time consuming to prepare green juices

and to clean the equipment after juicing, or to drive to the juice

bar.

 

 

7. Green smoothies are perfect food for children of all ages,

including babies of six or more months old when introducing new food

to them after mother's milk. Of course you have to be careful and

slowly increase the amount of smoothies to avoid food allergies.

 

8. When you consume your greens in the form of green smoothies,

you can greatly reduce the consumption of oils and salt in your diet.

 

 

9. Regular Consumption of Green smoothies froms a good habit of

eating greens. Several people told me that after a couple of weeks

of drinking green smoothies, they started to crave and enjoy eating

more greens. Eating enough of green vegetable is often a problem

with many people, especially in children.

 

10. Green smoothies can easily be freshly made at any juice bar,

restaurant or health food store for the great convenience of health-

oriented customers.

 

I encourage the readers of this article to start playing with green

smoothies, and to discover the many joys and benefits of this

wonderful delicious and nutritious addition to the menu.

Here are more ideas for your green concoctions.

Some of my favorite greens to add to green smoothies:

Parsley, spinach, celery, kale and romaine. My favorite fruits for

green smoothies are: pears, peaches, nectarines, bananas, mangoes

and apples. Strawberries and raspberries taste superb in green

smoothies, when combined with ripe bananas.

There is just something about eating vegetables and fruit together that doesnt appeal to me I can do one or the other... I cant imagine the body wanting to digest 2 seperate things like that together.... thats just me i like juiced carrots with parsley.sometimes a little fresh ginger root. I like ginger root with fresh juiced apples too. thats good if one is a little congested.... Jen

I am somewhat in agreement on the mixing of fruits and vegetables, and

I know it has been mentioned in juicing books, but I think there is an

exeption. Ask yourself what is a vegetable. There are fruits, there

are roots/tubers, and there are greens. Truly what are vegetables?

Many food items that we consider vegetables are acactually catagorized

as fruits.

 

So if greens are in a catagory all of there own (i.e. parsley,

spinach, kale), which I feel they should be, does this make an

expetion in juicing? I have not had any problem with mixing fruits

and greens. Does anyone have any negative experience mixing the two?
