Sorry for taking so long to get a post done, but there has been quite a bit of research to do, and it seems not that much time to do it. I thought I had until today, but when I went to look at the dates again, I saw that I had until.... well two days ago.
First off, I will continue to not eat meat. I have already, over the last three years, lost more than 75 pounds by cutting out the meat, dairy, chemically treated vegetables and grains, and most of all, fast food. All the research I have found so far cannot give ANY reason why eating meat is better for my body than say Nuts, Seeds, and Raw Vegetables. So if I have to make a choice of support those who treat animals like produce or eat a varied diet without meat, I choose no meat. Here is a sweet article that speaks volumes to why I will stay away from it.
With that said, I will be starting next Monday with a Juice Fast / Colon Cleanse. I have done this before, but I will be doing it a little different this time. I will have MSM water with lemon first thing in the morning to get my energy going, then a Green Juice for breakfast, a Green Juice for lunch, and then have a small dinner with my family. I will also drink fruit juice throughout the day as needed. Again, all, ALL juice will be made by me. No store bought juice. All my produce or at least 90% of it will be organic. I will continue this until I get below 360lbs, or 14 days, whichever comes first, and then take a look at how I am doing, and see if I need to make changes. Wish me luck, and feel free to tell me whatcha think. Just try to be nice. I know people hate it when others run down thier meat, and that is not what I am trying to do. Just wanna get healthy and this is the way I chose to do it. :)
Here will be my initial Green Juice recipe:
1 English Cucumber
10 Carrots
1 Head of Celery
2 Apples
1 bunch of Spinach
(Makes 2 Quarts)

ReplyDeleteAwwww thats nice of her!
ReplyDeleteI remember the juice diet my wife put us on once, that was terrible! But it works. Its gotta be tough to cut all those things out but in the end it works out for the better!! I can't wait to see how you progress through this. Just that initial weight loss you said is great. keep up the awesome work!
Have you seen the film Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead? It is a great film centerd on juicing to jump start weight loss and I think it is a great motivational and inspiring film. You may also want to look into Clean Eating, I've been eating clean probably about 75% of the time for the last 2 years, I notice a huge difference in how I feel when we eat clean and when we slack off. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly impressed by your will power! I havent had beef or pork products in 2 years. I have to admit that I eat poultry here and there, but I have to agree that it is a better lifestyle. I used to have the worst stomach ulcers, and cutting back things like animal products and fast food made a dramatic difference. If you haven't read the Omnivore's Dilemma, it is worth the read!
ReplyDeleteValerie, it is quite the show! I would also recommend checking it out on netflix or renting it out!
