*Please note: This week of food is not my recommendation to you, it is merely a record of my own eating last week.
Add to this week's menu the fact that I drink water throughout the day. *Lemon water gets the stomach ready for the day's digestion - just squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon into room-temperature water...the rest of my water intake isn't at all fancy, lol. I also enjoy my cup of coffee every morning, right after my lemon water. Ain't giving that up any time soon. :)
At the end of this post, there are links to some of the more mysterious foods :)

I do my oil pulling between my lemon water and my Green Lemonade, and if I have coffee, I do that after lemon water, and before oil pulling. (still with me?) Lemon water's always first. I leave a good hour or more after Green Lemonade before eating any fruit, including smoothies.

Yes, it was expensive, as we are at the beginning of this,and are
re-stocking the kitchen. We both feel so light, energetic, clean, and clear eating this way. And I never could stand cooking, but I've got a real love affair going with creating fresh food meals...go figure! The use of kitchen tools like a manual food chopper, a food processer, a blender, and a juicer make this way of eathing efficent and rather fun. So far, I've not had to use my asthma inhaler at all, (down from up to 4x's daily), I've not had any headaches (down from at least one a week), my mood has been calm and content (I've been known to dabble in 'all over the place', lol), my skin has cleared up, and my eyes are sparkling. And the maca definitely boosts libido, Baby. I feel GREAT! Without pre-packaged foods in my kitchen, I don't have chemicals or sugar in my diet. I create meals that have more ingredients, all fresh, and I'm using only nutrient-dense foods, so I am not feeling hungry all day like I do when I eat junk food. More about nutrient density here.
