Great way to Detox: Body Cleanser Juice
When most people hear about Detoxing, they usually think it's some trick to persuade them to buy a certain brand of Weightloss Pill. Even for that matter, most people don't really know what it means to Detox. Also the word Antioxidant get's thrown around a lot too, simply because companies know people will fall for these sorta gimmicks. But there is a way to Detox, meaning to help your body get rid of excess minerals, vitamins, old damaged blood cells, and all sorts of junk that builds up in your liver, kidneys, and blood.

When I first started drinking this body cleanser I wasn't sure exactly what it was going to do, other than peeing orange for a few days lol. But after three days I immediately noticed that I was increasing my metabolism and I was getting my full days worth of vegetables and fruits without having to eat huge portions of salads and the like. I definitely recommend these to anyone who's a vegetarian, or someone looking to start a new exercise and eating plan.

Body Cleanser:
1 Large Beet (fresh)
* Optional* Beat Leaves
1/2 medium cucumber
1 small handful of fresh parsley
2 celery stalks
1 cup of broccoli with stalk.
1 medium apple of choice
1 cup of large leaf spinach

*You will need a juicer in order to make this. I recommend the Jack Lalanne Juicer as it's rather inexpensive when compared to most juicers out there, not to mention that it's extremely effective. Trust me this thing is actually worth the buy.

When juicing you should always juice your base fruits/veggies first (ones that will take up the bulk of the volume) So start with your apple. Cut it in fours.
Wrap the parsley around two slices and juice them
Wrap the spinach leaves around the other two slices and juice them.
Insert Celery, Cucumber, Broccoli.
Finshing up with the large Beat Last.

This should make approximately 1.5 to 2 cups of juice depending on how big your apples and cucumbers were. Which will make two full servings of your Fruits and Veggies for the day. You can chill the juice in the fridge for a while and 8-10oz makes a single serving.

I also recommend drinking one in the afternoon and one in the evening preferably after a light supper. This way nothing too heavy will sit in your stomach while you sleep. You'll also wakeup hungry for breakfast, which is most definitely the most important meal of the day.


Hopefully you enjoy! Trust me, it's tastes amazing....
 
 
 

 

I'm going vegan?
I think todays one of those days where I just don't know what to say. Or feel much like talking.  Well that could be tied into the not knowing what to say part.  Like I want to talk but feeling like theres nothing to say. Kinda weird. Crappy. I think its just one of those times ya know? Or maybe the medicine...which I don't think I'll stay on.  I dont want to.  It's not helping.  And if it's making me quieter than I already am, thats no good.  I wish it was still last weekend.  It was a good weekend filled with lots of time with Kevin.  :)  aka the best kind.  I should probably go work...ick.  Slacked all day.  Looking at vegan stuff - changing my diet to be vegan.  Gotta look up all kinds of stuff still.  I tried a black bean burger today. Not too bad....not even close to as amazing as a real burger is, but it was filling. 
 
 
 

   
Going Raw?

I was looking up some recepies and info about vegans yesterday and after reading a few personal stories, I was drawn to the idea of going raw. That means not eating any cooked foods (at least above a certain temperature which kills the enzymes and essentially kills the food), just raw fruits, vegitables nuts, etc. At first I thought, "holy crap, that's extreme." But then I slept on it and the whole idea is actually very appealing. The thing I reminded myself of is that when I decided to go vegan, my mom said, "that's going to be hard, what will you eat?" and I told her, "that's what meat eaters think about us vegetarians, but we know they're wrong, we eat plenty of stuff." Now I see that being vegan is not hard at all and there is still more than plenty good things to eat!

So if meat eaters thing that vegetarians have nothing to eat, and some vegetarians think vegans have nothing to eat, then what don't I, as a vegan, know about raw fooders? I looked up some recepies today and there is a whole crap load of things for raw foodists to eat! It's amazing!

So from right now, I'm pretty sure I'll end up going raw. I decided to let the whole vegan thing settle in with my mom and when I get home from seeing my grandparents this summer, I'll present the raw idea to her. I'm sure after a little hessitation and my showing her I'll still remain a healthy, happy gal (even more so, keeping a strict raw food diet is proven to help, even eliminate depression and stress) I'm about 95% sure she'll let me go on with it.

It's so exciting! I felt good when I grew up and realized the real meaning of being a vegetarian, then I went vegan and felt even better about life, and now just the thought of going raw is . . . ah! It's great. Life is great.

Peace, Love, and Respect
