My father eats tons of food, and lives on a cooked southern diet of fried food, meat, bread and dairy. He's turning 90 later this month.

Of course, I don't advocate this diet, and I've tried...

Why is there often nothing you can eat?

If I depended upon my spouse to make sure there was food I could eat, it would amount to nothing more than iceburg lettuce and a few tomatoes. But there...

Ah, OK, got it.

My eggplant bacon comes out pretty dry. Love that stuff. Just made a batch and was wishing I'd bought more than one eggplant.

Eggplant bacon
Onion bread
Flax crackers
Kale chips
Etc.

Do they need to be refrigerated or frozen?

Thanks,

Beauty, what a lovely post! Thank you for your kind words and especially for your prayers. That means so much to me.

I won't be on the challenge here. I'm just not ready for 100% yet. I'm...

Yes, Adobe, your presence here helped me greatly!

Peace in the midst of it is happening. I'm so grateful for that. It's more the chaos logistically that says another fast needs to come later. ...

I love fasting. Today I baked treats for the new neighbors. I SO enjoyed what I call "tasting without eating."

There's a way of taking in food visually, through smell, texture, without ever...

Adobegirl, congratulations!!!!!!!!! Thank you for walking the last few days with me, it was great to feel your presence and know I wasn't alone!

I'm starting a challenge on another forum, so,...

Adobe, for whatever reason, I have tough days around day four and around 8-9. I guess that's how my body schedules detox.

I was going to go ahead and re-feed today in preparation for the upcoming...

Adobe, I've done a lot of self-healing work on past garbage, if you want to chat about that in another thread.

I'm thinking I'll do a once a week one-day fast while doing the raw challenge, just...

Adobe, glad you're experiencing such clarity. I'm much better this afternoon, just a tiny little detox this AM.

I'm gearing up for breaking the fast, looking forward to a challenge I'm doing on...

Starting day 8 and feeling crummy. I usually have a detox day around this time, so, no surprise.

Thinking I'll hit the grocery and fire up the dehydrator for some post-fast snacks.

So, it's looking increasingly likely that I'll be moving my father, which makes an extended MC far more challenging. I'm sure it theoretically could be done while traveling, but it's many hours of...

Me too, Adobe, onn both counts. I like your name, by the way.

I had some surprising clarity with regard to how things are playing out with Dad, and the spiritual / healing implications for me. ...

Six days down. Hard when it's cold and damp, but holding strong.

Deborah

Not sure my post was clear. By this, I meant, while I can enjoy being around but not consuming foods on MC, I don't do as well on raw. Through the day, yes, but late afternoon and evening, the...

Adobe!!! As you know, I'm finishing up day five of MC as well.

I have a different take on the smelling of foods than you do. There is much pleasure to be had in life, drinking in beauty...

Adobe - I have family drama coming out my ears. I hear you, girl. It's tough, so very difficult. Cheering for you as you deal with it too. Food's always been a great (NOT!) way to mute the...

Starting day five. Need to go feed the critters and make my juice, then I'm off to a rainy day at the Highland Games. Love those pipers.

Starting day five of my master cleanse. Yesterday was a tough detox day, bad dreams last night abuot real-time issues (really heavy ones) that are stacking up in my life.

I've had some cravings,...

Hey, K8, at least you're raw!! That in and of itself is wonderful!!

Deborah

Adobe, I was wanting food obsessvely an hour ago. Another glass of MC did the trick.

Day four. Detox. Eeeyuck. Every joint in my body hurts, I feel weak, lethargic, just generally yucky. After the animals are all cared for and settled, I may just go back to bed.

I read a few...

Looks like an assisted living place is opening up for Dad. The soonest I would fly down would be day 15, so, I'd stop on day 13 or 14, quite a bit shy of my 40 day goal. I may not have to go quite...

What is it about fasting that makes me want to clean everything on the outside of me too? Just got through cleaning out a pantry and a nasty fridge cleaning up spills of everyone else's food that I...
