Day Six!

Wow this fasting experience has put a whole new spin on life, plus I can not tell you how productive I have been in the last few days!  I am still detoxing, for some reason I can tell. I feel more and more revived everyday for once I am not behind on house work.  What a blessing! I had a friend ( thank you by the way!!) over today and we even moved my furniture around, usually I would just say its a good idea and then it really would never happen, and I spent the rest of the day spring cleaning our used to be catch all room now our playroom ( yay now kids won't be in my hair as much), you don't realize how stupidly you accumulate and buy crap that a few months down the road I am forking over to goodwill. I love simplifying my life, things can get so crazy sometimes. On another good note, my taste buds are changing today I was needing a pick me up ( it was my usual coffee time) so I just cut a hole in an orange and just sucked the juice out. It had to be the best orange I have ever tasted in my life!

Juicing tip of the day- Moderation is key. I remember one day I was making a juice and I put a whole jalapeño in. it made it unbearably spicy. A good idea when juicing things like ginger, jalapeño, and things with strong flavor is to start small and work your way up. Your taste buds will adjust to the flavor. On aside note  ginger is extremely beneficial to put in your everyday diet, It can give you loads of energy and is also extremely detoxifying. 

So now for more about my research on the Palio diet :)

 

So I skimmed through the book the Hallelujah diet, Basically it's a diet where you take the notion of pre-flood where Adam and Eve only ate fruits and vegetables and seeds and nuts, but didn't eat meat and rather was more friends with the animals. So basically that's mostly a raw vegan diet. So here's why the Paleo diet is making more sense to me, After the flood God told Noah that they were allowed to eat the meat. You see before the flood Adam and Eve basically had super duper hulk foods to eat. During the flood that was all wiped away and never returned as nutritious as it once was, due  to climate changes Post flood. This is why God allowed us to start eating meat for extra nutrition, Of course nowadays we have taken it way out of context and started eating 2 to 3 times a normal portion size of meat at each meal. You know my husband had a point this morning though, he said " why should you have to live in the confines of this diet or another, why don't you just do what you wanna do" I absolutely 100 percent agree, you shouldn't. 

I plan on eating a predominantly raw diet, only eating meat a few times a week ( I have never been a big meat eater) eliminating dairy, processed food, most grains, most legumes, and starch ( minus sweet potatoes, they make delicious juice!). I will be talking more tomorrow about why I am choosing to omit those things. I also wanted to add one last thing, I will only be eating farm raised organic meat, I just don't believe that the way we "manufacture meat" and treat our animals is the way God intended. Watch food inc. to see how we treat animals in America, it is unsanitary and cruel. It is also a lot healthier to not shove your body's full of those chemicals anyway. 

 

Thanks for reading guys feel free to ask me any questions, I am happy to help!
