Ok ,,,

if your meat is organic and you don't "BURN it" when you cook it...and you don't eat alot of it.. we'll leave this alone so you don't go nuts all at once...lol...

Get rid of the dairy... check the recipe files for substitutes.

There are some great recipes for sweets..

Pastas?? Get some sprouted flour and make your own... just cut back on it ... eat some every so often.

I'll leave the coffee for now if you'lre only doing 1 a day...

You have a juicer... make a batch the nite before and put it into bottles to take with you for the next day.

Nuts and grains - soak them and keep them in the fridge to take with you for snacks.

Make your own gRAWnola.

Dehydrate some banana or apple slices for snacks... (sweets)

Spices???? Learn to use your herbs... make your own mixes or get some organic seasonings.

Hi ,

Congrats on your choice. Very slow process? No problem. Take as long as

you wish. I do believe the best information I have heard in a long time

was given by JA . Thanks JA, wonderful advice for anyone.

Eliminate one thing in your diet each month until you are down to only

four things, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. Other than that I

highly suggest you begin to drink lots and lots of water with fresh

squeezed lemon added in. This will help you to begin a slow detox and

mucus elimination. Do try to cut down on the processed carbs and meats

though.

You will find as you detox and clean your body that foods that seemed

bland before will how have some awesome flavor. However, store bought,

conglomoagchem grown foods will taste barfo or really bland with no

flavor. This is one reason why organic is best. Lots of flavor. You will

also find your body will seek and settle at its own desired weight.

Everyone thinks that you will turn into a skeleton but that is just not

true. Your body knows its perfect weight and will only go that far. You

never continue to lose and lose weight.

Do make yourself lots of fresh juices throughout the day and really

consider doing ongoing juice cleanses or even some fasting, if you feel

up to it, every month, every other month or whatever. 3 day, 6 day your

choice. This will help you out quite a lot.

You have already made the biggest change . You chose to do

something about your health and well being. This is usually the biggest

step for anyone. So my hats off to you girl and congratulations on

seeing the need and having the desire to do something about it. Baby

steps, just take baby steps and you will find yourself at there soon enough.

Peace be with you Anne.

=============================

Hi Anne,

Congratulations on passing up the " not good for your health-goodies " .

You should feel proud of yourself for that. It is a big step. Do keep on

drinking lots of water. Most of us don't drink enough water. We all walk

around half dehydrated and sufferiing from the effects without realizing

why.

You will find as you start making these little changes and start doing

some cleanses that your focus will become more clear and you experience

much more certainty in yourself lessening the anxiety. It will take some

time but the effort you put towards it will be more than worth it with

what you will reap from it.

We are here for you if you need us. We will support you all the way. You

can do it, anyone can do it. One just needs to make the conscious

decision to improve their health. I have no doubt that you will do fine

and that you will succeed. Please do keep us posted and let us know how

you progress. What issues you stumble across and your wins. The most

important thing to realize and keep foremost in your thoughts is that

you are doing this for your own well being. Get a really good visual

image of most fit, healthiest, happiest Anne you can conjure up in

your mind and then keep that visualization foremost in your thoughts

daily. This is what you wish to become and then work towards that ideal.

Make sure it is your ideal though and not something conjured up out of a

magazine or TV. Nobody ever looks like Barbie and maintains excellent

health. But you can look and feel excellent with vibrant health, glowing

skin, clean clear complexion, extremely focused, loving life and happy

with everything in your life. We all create our own realities. All of

this takes time but is attainable by anyone. Just don't allow little

setbacks to discourage you from continuing on and you will succeed with

flying colors. Every step is a step closer to your new ideal. Every step

is an obstacle that you have mastered and overcome on your path to total

freedom from self imposed restrictions and negativity.

Most importantly, laugh Anne, laugh and have fun. Enjoy life and

decide that all those things that used to bother you no longer have any

power over you. Enjoy life no matter what it throws your way and laugh.

Laugh, laugh and laugh some more. Learn to enjoy all things and look for

the good in everything. Never stop learning nor seeking the truth for

yourself. You have now decided to be the Captain of your own ship and

are no longer just the first mate or cabin boy. You go girl and don't

ever look back. Always forwards, that is the only way you can go anyhow.

Hehehe

Peace be with you Anne and we are rooting for ya.
