The Juice Feast Diary

Dear friends,

I’m superbly ecstatic to announce that just three days ago I have embarked on a new journey, that I’m sure will be life-changing for me. I’m extremely excited about this, as what I’m about to experience is the most healing process that I imagine my body (and my soul) could ever go through; 100 days of no solid food but only fresh juices!!! Today is the day 3 and I already feel wonderful, inspired, pure and at the same time I feel deep love for myself.

Green smoothies

Green smoothie is one of the best ways to start your day. It is filling, alkalizing, tasty and so simple to make! Just mix some green leaf veggies with a bit of fruit to add some sweeter taste and you’ve got it! My favorite mix is spinach (kale) and a bit of banana blended with coconut water (plain mineral water is good too). Love the green color!

What are you thoughts about chinese food that you order at the restaurant? Do you eat at chinese or stay away from this type of food?

 

 

Well as for Chinese, I only stick to certain stuff like stir-fried vegetables, a bit of tofu (not the deep fried one covered in batter!!!), or some fish at times, which would be usually steamed. I definitely avoid all stuff that has MSG and also these weird thick sauces that contain who knows what not.

Are you out there?

Sun was at the same spot as every day at ten o’clock and the coffee tasted yummy as ever. Sitting in my favorite barista on Carter rd, I watched the ocean and a naked man taking his morning bath.

“So…I said, turning my attention towards my friend sitting across the table….”please tell me the Greek story again”.

Is there a particular food that helps with cravings for sweets during the monthly cycle?

It is very beneficial to eat avocado and banana at that time and you might feel naturally gravitating towards these fruits (yes, avocado is a fruit actually). Avocado really helps the cleansing process and same as banana, provides plenty of potassium that is needed during the cycle.

Is it okay to eat too much fruits? And how about eating fruits at night?

Well, I’d say extreme amount of anything is never good. I eat fruits at night sometimes when I’m hungry and I want something that digests quick as I’ll be going to sleep soon (all fruits except of bananas and dry fruits digest within a half an hour). However, your fitness trainer would probably tell you…don’t have carbs at night. Well, yes, certainly it is better to have the fruits in the first half of the day, but you know, don’t stress about it. You’d rather have some fruits at night then some unhealthy snack. And you are certainly not going to put on weight from natural, raw fruits.

The needle-ing

….and the theme song of this morning is ‘Viva la Vida’ by Coldplay. It’s been playing in my ears since I sat in the car and headed to the airport. Sitting in the Clipper Lounge, sipping on coffee…I feel like getting up and dancing or at least taking a run around the airport. That of course could get me into trouble with the security, so I may just…not do it. This time. 

Yesterday I gave a tough time to the security at the Taj hotel as I carried a sharp knife in my hand (peeling an apple on the way…can’t eat the skin of an apple when it’s not organic. You know…too much of chemicals.). Well, the security simply didn’t like the sight of me approaching the hotel’s door with a sharp knife in my hand.

Fix your body, heal yourself

In order to help your body heal itself, you need to get rid of the toxic material stored inside of you. You’d be surprised to know, how much of ‘shit’ (literally) has been sitting in you for years and years!

As long as your body is overfilled with these toxins, it cannot heal itself, because it is too busy just about handling the amount of toxins incoming every day, so it has no energy left for healing! And that’s why you’re sick! It’s as simple as that!

Colon Cleanse experience

About the cleanse

Hi all, I’m really happy you are reading this article, because I do believe, if you decide to do this cleanse, you will seriously improve your health. This cleanse lasts 28 days, it cleanses your colon thoroughly and removes the muciod plague…a horrible stuff that is stuck to walls of our intestines after years of bad eating habits. This stuff is highly toxic and it is not only the nest of all toxic residue, unhealthy bacteria and various parasites, but it also affects our every day nutrient absorption. So however healthy you eat today, unless you clean your colon, you won’t be able to receive all the precious nutrients cause this stuff (the muciod plague) is stuck on the intestines walls and it is like a barricade! It stops the nutrients from getting through absorbed!
