As of yesterday I’m back on a healthy food plan: high organic/natural/whole vegan eating – except Sundays, where I’ll allow myself a serving or two of fish. I’m also staying soy and wheat free for the time being (see last post for reasons why).
The doctor I saw last week gave me suggestions on how to make perfect brown rice. I took her suggestions but made a tiny change or two and the rice came out fantastic! I’ve decided not to use my microwave to cook food anymore. Before, every time I’d make brown rice, I’d use the microwave, because I couldn’t get it to come out right preparing it on the stove. However, I used a stainless steel pot this time, used more water and removed the rice from the heat earlier. The result was AMAZING rice. I combined the rice with some Earth Balance vegan (soy free) butter and organic kidney beans.
The main reason I’ve decided not to use my microwave anymore is because of one of the intuitive reading sessions I sat through a few Sundays ago (in OKC). A piece of information came through that microwaved food causes problems in the body. Some people can handle it better than others. I don’t know if I’m one of those people, but in thinking it over logically, I’ve determined that if the human body needs to go out of its way to ‘handle’ something, than it’s not the best thing one can give it to begin with!
So, once more I’m focusing on fruits, veggies, greens, oatmeal, brown rice, beans, some wheat/gluten/soy free cereals, almond milk, coconut milk ice cream products, and a few other things. Fish on Sundays. Organic as much as possible.
My body had started to feel SO amazing, light and flexible after about 14 days of vegan eating a few weeks ago and my weight had also begun dropping off more quickly. I also felt more spiritually in tune.
Today I had this for breakfast:
… along with some sliced organic mango.
I’ve also taken to drinking a 16-ounce glass of water with lemon squeezed in it each morning, as it helps clean the liver of impurities. (That was more info that came through during one of the intuitive sessions). Cleaner liver = weight loss & better health overall.
In other news, as I’m sitting here typing out this post, the ground beneath me is literally vibrating/shaking quite a bit. There has been construction going on next door for many weeks now. They are building a retirement home. It’s crazy how much the construction is shaking the ground. One positive thing all this shaking is doing is removing my fear of earthquakes. Before this, anytime I felt the ground even remotely move, I’d panic. (I grew up in So Cal and felt many, many earthquakes over the years, panicking through every one of them).
Happy Monday!
