I did a vegetarian summer about 3 years ago, for 3 months, no meat...my body loved it, i felt lighter, i lost weight, my skin was at its' best, but i hated it....I'm not a huge beef eater but i missed steak, i missed the taste, the smell, the texture. So, I quickly went back to a regular diet and I quickly gain back the weight I lost.
So, what's going to help me stay on this diet...Well, for one thing, I decided to go "natural". I am an African -American woman who is no longer using a heavy chemical to straighten my hair. I went natural two years ago and only recently it became clear that it didn't make sense to have natural hair and not a natural body. I decided it was time to clean up my culinary act. One day, while talking to Rebecca about her hair loss, it occurred to us that not one of her medical doctors suggested a change in diet...voila, we're going crazy, I mean, uh, vegan.
Dr. Fuhrman's diet boils down to this: GBOMBS. Greens, Beans, Onion, Mushroom, Berries and Seeds.
For the next month, I am basically going to bombard my body with these foods with the hopes of detoxing my liver and making my immune and kidney functions stronger, and oh yeah, make my hair look great. Vanity, thy name is woman, what of it?
today for breakfast I had a smoothie that i made using the Ninja blender. Kale, Spinach, frozen berries, almond milk and a small amount of agave....blended to the consistency I liked.
lunch at my mom was squash soup with yucca and potatoes
and for dinner: steamed veggies and a microwaved sweet potato.
and tootsie rolls. Ok, so it's a work in progress.
