I just made the BEST Green Smoothie EVER!

So, far I am having a Very Good Day!

I had a small Cantelope for Breakfast at 10am.

Then, I worked out. Then, I did my Horse Chores and Trimmed Miss Bridget's Back Feet. (That's a Work OUt)

For Lunch at 3pm I just made the Best Green Smoothie I've ever ever made. WOW! and had some additional Strawberries.

Okay okay - I'll tell ya.

It was:

1 cup of Coconut Water
1 basket of Strawberries
1 large Banana
1/2 the meat the Coconut
Big Handful of Spinach
Handful of Red Chard

OMG! Yummers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to make that one again.

I'll keep ya posted about the rest of today.

Editing for the Rest of my Day!

I went to my clients and felt hungry but, I didn't stop and eat. I drank water and tea.

Afterwards I went to the store for greens. I got coconuts, spinach, red chard, apples, mangos, grapes.

I got a dish of fresh fruit; pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, cantelope and a plum. I ate it all on the way home at 8pm. Along with some dried fruit and had a few pieces. I know........I shouldn't have done that.

But, No nuts - No fat! :)

So, I got home and ate a few strawberries and an apple.

Is that too much Fruit? Tomorrow I want to work on mostly Green Smoothies and less fruit in between and less eating/chewing.

Here's my total calories the day: from fitday.com

    I can't wait to tell you some of the neat stuff I learned tonight from Victoria Boutenko. She does not think sugar causes Candida. Bottom line is drink green smoothies made of 60% fruit, 40% greens. Eliminate ALL FATS for 7 days. No more candida. It's all about the liver. A SHORT period of no fats (or other toxins) allows the liver to heal. Sounds to easy doesn't it? One week of NO fat compared to Gabriel Cousens 6 month low sugar plan. I'm on board for the 7 day plan. :) More later...

    I think you did great today. And the smoothie looks delicious. :)

    Thanks for posting this about the the amount of fruit. Sometimes I think about that when I make my GS, because I usually put in a banana plus another fruit and sometimes coconut oil and maybe a little cacao, if I'm in the mood for something chocolatey.

    Knitster Yes, I"ve been reading Dr. Graham's 8-10-10 book and alot from Frederic Patenaude and they both say that it is a Raw Food - Low Fat diet that heals our body and optimumally 10% fat a day would be best but, no more then 20%. When I was calculating on fitday - I was normally eating about 50% fat a day at least. WOW! :EEK:

    All this said: I've been really paying attention to my bodies responses and it does seem that when I eat more fat I have more symptoms and when I combine the too I get really bad yeast infections. I've had one for a week now and just from yesterday having no fat it's virtually gone this morning. So, I think they are on to something. I even saw an interview with Gerson and they say cancer is caused from fat and healing it - you remove it. HUH? I much more like that then restricting myself with Dr. Cousen's diet. I couldn't do it for more then 2 weeks and I was dehydrated.

    However, I do feel like I"m detoxing the fat and I am craving it badly. My head feels weird and my mind is telling me I need nuts. Ha!

    Here's another weird thing. I had 4 eliminations this morning and lost 3 lbs from it. WOW! Sorry, too much info? hehehe

    Rawlight That isnt' much fruit compared to what I put in. Hehehe!

    Hi April,

    If you look at my other posts. I posted doing Frederic Patenaudes Cleanses.

    1. Green Smoothies and Fruit inbetween. If or when needed for 3-7 days

    2. Mono Fruits Meals for 3-7 days.

    3. Fruit and Veggies only.......no fats including oils for 3-7 days.

    I'm trying to do all 3 for 3 days each. But, we'll see. May do one or the other for longer.

    :)
