Briefly I'd like to mention that you're free to discuss whatever you want to along these lines, since just about anything that deals with a healthier body
is still relevant to this topic. A cleansing helps return a body to a more alkaline state, vegetarianism/vegan helps in returning a body to a more
alkaline state, reducing or eliminating meat and animal products helps in returning a body to a more alkaline state... therefore it's all acceptable!
Please feel free to contribute with great abandon along these lines! :^)

Heeehee the good news here is that cooking, in itself, is totally optional! I don't like cooking either so this lifestyle totally appeals to my more lazy
self! Right now my level of prep involves tossing stuff into a blender and pressing the button marked "smoothy". :^) I do try and get in a salad
around midday, because smoothies are simply wonderful but it's nice to be chewing on at least one meal along the way!
Another thing I like about smoothies is the ability to smuggle-in all sorts of things that are highly nutritious but would taste either horribly bland or
down-right nasty were they to be 'et on their own. The smoothy I'm drinking right now consists of
1 banana
1 apple
4 mini carrots
a hand full of raw spinach
--and then the fun stuff
a couple tablespoons of raw organic coconut flakes
a table spoon of kelp powder
roughly a tablespoon of a freshly ground flax seed/chia seed mix (I have a coffee grinder set aside with this mix, in the whole and raw form, already in
it... press the button every morning and within moments it's available...)
about a tablespoon of dried Goji berries
an eyedropper full of organic vanilla
Then a little water and some crushed ice as the finish
Takes about 3 minutes to prepare, tons of nutrition, and then I sip on it while studying or writing on the puter.
I mix up the veggies and fruit from time to time, and will likely add more nutrient based items as they come to my attention... but here I get a full
meal with minimal effort and a load of good stuff to go with it! I love it! :^)
What we've found over the year is that our diets while shift , sometimes wildly, based on what we're currently into. We've spend 57 years learning
to eat a certain way so we figure it'll take a couple of years and a bit of study in order to shift into a different format... sometimes it can seem
frustrating, but overall it's been well worth the journey!
I did find a wonderful set of videos by a doctor that's amazingly informative in relation to meat and dairy products, illuminating why we should think
twice before keeping it as a mainstay! It's a 6 part series and I'm posting the like to the first clip, the rest should be available on the right side of the
screen once you've navigated to youtube. In the 6th clip he goes into his preferred diet based largely on the use of grains... grain use doesn't work
for us at all, but he's clearly okay with it.... however the first 5 clips are solidly insightful! It's the first time that I've seen all this info presented so
convincingly and all in one place! :^)
