Healthy food give you better energy and stregthens your body. I find when I eat junk it not only has addictive chemicals in it, but also makes me tired and stuffed. I spend less and eat less with good food and it gives mebetter energy!

hmmm i never thought about it that way. cuz i eat extremely healthy food all the time. most days the worst thing i eat are the 2 cookies i bring in my lunch, or salt water taffy from the candy jar.

i just dont think i could stick to the strick diet everyday. i need to mix it up.

I bought a 150$ cleanse kit.

2 weeks of eating fiber pills and some other pills filled with every herb and root known to man.

Definitely cleaned me out.

You have to do alot of resurch and slowly build your habbits. I dont consider white bread or pasta healthy. Its crap and makes me feel like crap. Same with white rice. Im extreamly picky when it comes to juice. Most of it is full of added sugar.

I eat a large variety of foods. When it comes to vegtables and fruits... I look for a variety of colours. I also have fun trying diffrnet ones. Greens im most in need of... baby spinich, elfalpha, brocholi, esparages etc. Same with meat... I take turns between chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, beef, and lots of tofu and beans.

Aparently avacados are so full in nutritian that its possible to live off them alone!!! Blue berries were another fruit that surprised me. There apparently full of nutrients you cant get anywhere else and its proven that they help prevent cancer! Nuts and whole wheat are a great energy boost. Nuts contain alot of the vitamins that are found in energy drinks.

Ill stop the lechture and just say that alot of ppl are miss informed about what healthy/nutritous food is. Example did you know that mushrooms have barly any nutrients and vitamins in them??? Also when you microwave or cook your food too much its looses alot of its nutirents as well.

Oh and you have excercise. Not alot, but even just streaching and doing a few push ups/sit ups in the morning gives me a super boost and reduces that never stoping crave for food.

I've been eating sandwiches for lunch everyday with just cucumber, tomato, green pepper and avocado. It is the most delicious thing ever and I feel AMAZING every single time I eat it. And any kind of berry is super good for you in terms of fighting cancer. Nuts are also a great thing to eat at 3-4pm when you get that dip in energy and want to go to sleep. Just a couple handfuls usually do the trick.

And as for mushrooms, I thought they had no nutritional value either, but they're good for B vitamins, potassium, copper (which iron needs to do what it's supposed to do - making red blood cells, etc) and selenium which works with vitamin E somehow to make antioxidants and has something to do with helping to fight cancer, not 100% sure how.

Grill asparagus and mushrooms with a little salt, butter and garlic powder. It literally takes less than 5 mins to chop and grill. Makes it so easy to include green veggies in your diet and tastes soooooooooooo good.

^ Garlic is super good for you! Especialy when it comes to flue season. I find that intresting about the nuts... because thats exactly when i crave them between 3-4pm after i get home from work. Just a handfull totaly hits the spot. I sware by avacados... I use to be tired and draind all the time untill I went absest with avacados. I honestly believe that having an avacado a week really helps.

^ yeah, it's called the afternoon slump. Especially if you've had a big lunch, you're going to have a huge dip in energy and crave bad things like chocolate and stuff which is the worst thing because you get your quick sugar high and then crash really hard again. Trail mix is good to try - sunflower seeds are really good for you as well.

i went on a 3-month candida cleanse once... and that thing is harsher than the south beach diet, first few days were good but WOW the next 3 weeks were killer... after that though, i was used to it and didnt crave any other food anymore, it was quite a breeze, lots all my excess weight, my body was functioning at its greatest ever, i felt awesome

Good luck with your cleansing/fast thing!

thats exactly how i feel now... i have always ALWAYS felt tired...even after getting a goodnights sleep.. always drowsy and foggy-headed, could basically sleep at any hour of the day..

but now i feel so different and alert..even my walk feels different, like i'm walking on air or something (maybe the fact that i went from a size 10 to a size 6 in under a week)

i highly recomend this cleanse to anyone who can do it..
and trust me, if i can do it, anyone can do it.

p.s. i really like your avatar.. do you know who the artist is?

What cleanse are you doing? Give us some info!

[justa~gurl]

myra, myra..i think i did earlier on in the post,

yup i did!
(cut and paste from earlier)\

well my mom's all into the being health kick thing for the past 6 years.. so by now she knows a lot about that kinda stuff.. she does it about twice a year.. she got it from Roots though.. (That natural store)

It's Natural Factors Seven Day Total Nutrional Cleansing Program (with RevitalX & Detoxitech)

the first 4 days using RevitalX (step one) is to rest, heal and rejuvenate the gut, getting rid of internally generated toxins and paving the way for powerful detoxification using Detoxitech

the last 3 days (step 2) you use Detoxitech which is specifically designed to help eliminate toxins that have been absorbed from the outside, such as heavy metals, pesticides, fumes from paints, solvents and PCB's.

anything else you need to know, just ask!

His name is Bill Brauer, I think he's pretty popular but I hadn't heard about him until a little while ago. His pictures are all about the female form and they're soooooo beautiful. I love one he does called Autumn Light, it's just so gorgeous. Another good one is called Scarlet Dancer I think. They're just awesome.

I'm on a beer cleanse at the moment.
