Hey Evelyn I need you help I want to start eating much cleaner but I don’t know where to start.
That was the start of my day yesterday. What followed was a conversation with my cousins I would never have dreamed of.
I started gently because I really did not know how much they really wanted to know….
Being aware of what you are eating is the first step
My cousin mentioned drinking something called diatomaceous earth to cleans her system of things that she used to eat that the body doesn’t want anymore. And that other day she was served a plate of food with some salad and she accidentally tasted it and it tasted so good she ate the whole salad.
That brought back memories of when I started eating raw foods and how the taste of greens changed for me. At a Christmas party a month later I caught myself snacking on the salad instead of the sweets!
So below is the rest of what I shared about how I eat …
Food should be made from simple basic ingredients that you recognize and could cook with yourself
Better to make long term simple changes
that keep you clean,
than to rely on a cleans
Cleans are good
But every day, every meal
You choose to poison yourself
Or heal yourself
No corn syrup
No white sugar
So I would also like to know what do you usually eat?
Please keep in mind I’m vegetarian
Mostly vegan
Yes you are vegetarian that’s why you’re the perfect source
I eat rice, beans, veggies, veggy meats (mock meats made from soy and wheat) Soy MUST be non GMO
Qinoa
Rice noodles
Tofu
Oatmeal
Nuts
No corn oil
I use sunflower, coconut or olive oil
I make my own nutmilks from almonds, cashews, walnuts
oh yea, watched a video on how to make it. made and it tasted really good.
No white flour
Its more about what I don’t eat
Milk, butter, cheese is once a week
I eat ginger with the milk items
To assist digestion
No soda
No juice drinks
No juices from containers
No name brand boxed cereals.
I filter all water
For drinking and cooking
wonderful
this will help us a lot
The mock meats are optional
The soy and tofu is optional
I don’t eat salad
I eat dark greens like spinach, kale, swiss chard, Broccoli, Bok choy
raw in smoothies or cooked in dishes
Breakfast:
20 to 32 ounces of….
Fruit and green smoothies. I use raisins and dates to sweeten it
2/3 fruit 1/3 greens with 1 to 2 cups water
No yogurt, no nutmilk in the smoothie only fruit and greens. No carrot in the morning smoothie
Or
Master cleanser lemonade…. 40 onces water plus 1 lemon and 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave ( never honey) and as much cayenne pepper as you can stand with it.
Or
Oatmeal nut milk…. 1/4 cup raw oats plus 1/4 cup nuts plus 1/4 cup agave plus pinch sea salt plus 2 cups water. Blend till smooth
You can add vanilla or cinnamon or cocoa powder or nutmeg and cinnamon to flavor it
On waking I’ll drink 4 cups water
Lots of water all day

Its grains and veggies
Rice or qinoa or rice noodles ( no pasta) with mixed veggies cooked in ginger with lots of spices of your choice.

Can add beans .. Red, black, garbanzo, lentils, what ever you like or have on hand
Or
can be one of the items listed in breakfast
snacks are …. fresh fruit, water, master cleanser lemonade, nutmilk, compote (fruit cooked in water)
the compote is a Russian dish/beverage … you take the fruits that are too spoiled to eat… too mushy, brown, and boil them in water. the liquid is a sweet fruit drink and the fruit mush is like an apple sauce type of thing
side dishes….. lentils with onions and mushrooms
I don’t generally eat sandwiches, less than 2 per week
I am reducing the bread and wheat in my diet
side dish… avocado cacao agave blended taste like chocolate pudding
I do eat eggs but less than a dozen per month, usually eating out or as egg sandwhiches

Drinks…. water, tea, ginger tea, turmeric/ginger
sweeten with agave or honey or maple syrup
or
coconut water
I do not’s drink coffee. I will have 1 cup once a month or less
I will have pizza or Mac and cheese once per week or less made with organic milk and organic cheese.
at parties I will eat cake. but otherwise no
I make my own vegan cake

no beef or chicken flavor bullion.
not eating meat gives me more energy
