I finally read 80/10/10 and eating fruit all day (and light leafy greens) has helped me with my low enery issue. I was also getting tired of making stuff all the time. I have customized the diet to include some savory dishes at night that are not on his program. I need the balance, so I might have squash soup or Susan A's tomato sauce (a little oil and salt) for dinner.<br /><br />There are 2 many trigger foods in a cooked diet for me. I wish I could handle a piece of bread like most people. When I have bread the longing for it last for days. I got a cinnamon scone the other day, which lead to a hunk of apple bread with butter from the bakery, which let to 2 pita pockets with hummus later.<br /><br />So raw is the way for me. I have a very stressful life and I have to tell myself that I can't go to bread everytime something happens because I already know in this world something is always going to be happening. You are either comeing out of a crisis or headed into one. So I try not to have anything in the house and weekly I go to Arnold's or All the way live and have a treat. The next day I make a cleansing Green drink and try and forget about it. I remember when you were juicing you sound like it was bringing you some peace. <br /><br />On 1 hand raw seems harder, but then I realized it was just socially harder, when I really think about it. I find it easier to maintain my wieght when I have less options for food. When I go out with friends it can be hard, but when I think about most of the people I'm sitting with usually have some sort of issue large or small that they are dealing with health wise. So I just order a salad and try and let the feeling pass that I am missing something.<br /><br />It is still a daily struggle but I try and ask my self everyday, "what do you want today, high energy and results on your fitness plan or bread" Some times bread wins and I except that but if it happens more than 2 days in a row I force myself to do without it and honestly that gets a little frustrating, but it works.<br /><br />Anywho that's my 2 cents.<br /><br />Wishing you the best as always <br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700008662573093867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48316345466072463.post-61713307118561797882010-10-14T06:56:30.929-07:002010-10-14T06:56:30.929-07:00I can usually get rid of a cold pretty fast by fas...I can usually get rid of a cold pretty fast by fasting for 16 to 20 hours.
