Fruit is Stacey's Friend

100 calorie HEALTHY snacks

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 14:48:00 +0000

wow can we talk about this for a second please..... here is a list of what webmd.com is proposing people eat for a 100 calorie healthy snack (this is absurd! and you will be very hungry still!!!!) Each of these snacks below are full of refined sugar, that will lead to inevitable crashes

Sweet Treats
-5 Nabisco Nilla Wafers
-1 Whole Foods Market Two-Bite Brownie
-1 Healthy Choice Mocha Fudge Swirl Bar
-9 Tootsie Roll Midgees
-1 pouch Keebler Sandies Right Bites Shortbread Cookies
-½ cup Sharon's Lemon Sorbet with 1/4 cup blueberries
-1 Skinny Cow Fat Free Fudge Bar
-1 Nestlé Butterfinger Stixx
-12 vanilla Miss Meringue Minis
-4 Country Choice Certified Organic Ginger Snaps
-1 Vitamuffin Vitatop
Savory Bites
-29 pistachios
-60 Pepperidge Farm Baby Goldfish Crackers
-1 Jolly Time Healthy Pop 100 Calorie Mini Bag popcorn
-25 EatSmart Café Fries
-12 Back to Nature Sesame Ginger Rice Thins
-12 Quaker Quakes Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks
-40 Rold Gold Classic Style Pretzel Sticks
Dairy Delights
-1 Laughing Cow Light Creamy Garlic & Herb cheese wedge and 3 Triscuits
-1 Kraft Polly-O Superlong Twist-Ums string cheese stick
-1 Yoplait Light Smoothie
-½ cup low-fat cottage cheese with 5 strawberries
Hearty Helpings

-Campbell's Soup at Hand Blended Vegetable Medley
-1 hard-boiled egg with 1 slice Melba toast
-4 slices Sara Lee Honey Ham with 2 teaspoons honey mustard, rolled in lettuce leaf
-½ mini bagel with 1 ounce smoked salmon

Ok so from my 1st sentence you can obviously tell that the above list is what I do NOT recommend people consume as there in-between meal 100 cal snack. If you were to eat any of the above you would feel hungry very shortly after, and you would be wasting yet another 100 cals that you will have to figure out how to burn off or suffer the consequences.

here is a list of proposed 100 cal snacks that will not only fill you up but leave you energized (not about to doze off at your desk)

-2 cups raspberries ...2 whole cups that is a ton!
-28 grapes
-1 cup blueberries
-1 cup mango chunks
-½ medium cantaloupe... i eat this for an entire meal, and this is a snack option!

-1 medium banana.......these are pretty filling so if you are extra hungry go this route!

not to mention fruit digests easily and quickly when eaten alone (not mixed with anything) and even better when eaten mono (eating 1 type fo fruit at a time)...This means you will not fill bogged down from your snack time

My 1st "Un-Cooking" Course

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:05:00 +0000

My 1st "Un-Cooking" Course went spectacular. I appreciate Stephen from Mooi for letting me use his space it was just perfect. I thank all the people who came, and my friends that showed up to support. I was nervous :) but I think it went well, and I am very excited to do my Next one on 11/27.

20 people came to this past class on 11/13, I spoke of proper food combining, and sequential eating. I provided a handout w/ the food combining rules, with a food combining chart, w/ the recipes, sequential eating rules, which deserts to eat 1st, which not to eat, what combinations to avoid, etc.

The recipes were a thai theme. I started w/ a pineapple mango parfait w/ a strawberry puree sauce. Then there were my non-fat twist on Thai Spring Rolls, and ended with a low-fat Tom Kha coconut soup. I got great reviews on the food, everyone really enjoyed them. This was a relief because I do not use any spices nor condiments, and some peoples palettes might not be ready for that "clean" of food, but I received zero complaints, so I am stoked.

I will be posting a video of the class shortly on my youtube channel Stacey Hearts Fruit

The booklet I made w/ food combining lessons, and recipes will be for sale for 10$, I can send you the booklet & videos of the class plus recipe demos for $20

If you would like to attend the next class please email me to RSVP for a discounted price of $10

Please email me at rawbeautychallenge@gmail.com if you are interested :)

My Fruitarian TV Show!

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 17:09:00 +0000

My Fruitarian TV Show

http://www.megavideo.com/?v=DPIKR7IH

It is finally here, and I just got to watch it. The series is called "My Life In Food" and the episode I was featured in is called " Extreme Diets".

Now there is a part where a "Doctor" says that one can only get the vitamin B12 by eating meats & dairy products, now this is just not true!

read this article (by clicking that link) & read below.

Vitamin B12 is a microbe -- a bacteria -- which is produced by microorganisms. Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that contains a trace element -- cobalt -- which gives this vitamin its chemical name, cobalamin, which is at the center of its molecular structure. Humans and all vertebrates require cobalt, although it is assimilated only in the form of Vitamin B12.

If you are in the habit of eating unwashed veggies, these may contain small amounts of B12, as it is produced by microbes found in soil.

If we were all living the same as we once did one with nature, B12 would not be a problem. We foraged for fruit getting bacteria from plants all over our bodies, e gardened daily getting soil all over our bodies, we bathed in creeks, lakes, rivers & the ocean getting mineral rich water and soil all over our bodies... We have 1 billion-trillion tiny mouths which are called pores. They too eat, and if we were one with nature they would be eating all the b12 they would need, and no such deficiency would exist, even without eating meat, dairy & sea products....so get out there and start gardening folks, or even go to the hot springs near you :)

Enjoy the Show!!!

One to Two (That Easy)!!!

Rules Rules Rules

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:40:00 +0000

sometimes it is just sooo fun to say F it! lets just break the rules, or rules were made to be broken....but in this case that is not the case haha

I love this quote "Only by striving to do what you wish to do will you achieve the capability to do it" (unkonwn author)

This shows that it is not always good nor fun to break the rules, this shows that some rules are meant to be kept because in the end you will be happier you did!

So lets hear for the rullles!

Stacey keeps these rules posted on her fridge along with a food combining chart so there is always that constant reminder of the goals she wants to achieve through her healthy lifestyle!

Fruitee Rules!

"Only by striving to do what you wish to do will you achieve the capability to do it" (unkonwn author)

1. Thou Shall not Poison Thyself!

2. Do not eat unless hungry

3. Earn your 1st meal (WORKOUT!!!!)

4. Do not eat until 12 noon

5. 1st meal mono sweet juicy fruit

6. Rest for 30 mins after meals

7. Eat one or the other at a time, never together and only once a day preferably @ dinner 1 oz nuts, 1oz seeds, 1/3 large avo, coconut, 1tblsp oil.

8. Veggie meal should be eaten when there is plenty of time for digestion

9. Do not eat after 8pm

10. Water Fast 24 hours at least once a week

11. Fast 3-7 days each season change

12. Tis far better to undereat than to overeat

13. Avoid People, places & things that lead you down the path of temptation

14. If man makes it don't eat It (Jack le lane)

Good Luck!

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 21:20:00 +0000

hey guys been working hard on new informational sites a youtube channel and video blogging! trying to get the word out there to world about the fruitfilled lifestyle & felow angelenos hopefully in need of some raw food meal planning and delivery!!!

My Dreams, and why shouldn’t they come true?

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 20:12:00 +0000

Fruit is Stacey’s Friend...blog entry # 24…my journey in becoming 100% LoFat Raw Vegan, meaning eating 80% or more of my calorie intake from carbs >10% Fat, >10% protein. Aka 80/10/10, or Fruitarian if you will.

My Dreams, and why shouldn’t they come true?

Part 1:

So my bf, and my bros left me allllll alone for a few days. Growing up with 6 brothers and sisters, always having a roommate and never living alone.. you can imagine ho easily I get lonely, bored, or the like. I was racking my brain for something to do last night….and I remembered…My new friend Phoebe inspired me to partake in making a “Dream Board”…and above is a pic of it! I really believe that one has to put their intentions out there into the Universe (I call this god, ie prayer) in order for their intentions to be answered, reciprocated, etc… You have to start saying it out LOUD! Talking to people about your dreams, you will be surprised how so many are willing to help!

Important note: I went to Kelly greens a store in Silver Lake, and I bought all “green” materials to make my dream boards and dream binder J Gotta stay true in every activity you do right!

Soooo here is what I put out into the Universe last night…and now here on my blog…

1^st I got a large pc of card stock 17”x24” (I think) I wrote these keywords on the paper:

Raw, Fruitarian, Raw food un-cooking show!!!! Health, Fitness, Yoga, Meditation, Ballet, Sexy In Love, Happiness, Jonathan, Apple, Baby, Family, Live ON the beach, Tropical, Sun, Surf, Relax, Wealth, Abundance, Comfort, Security, Well Decorated Home, Chic, Fashion, Fashionista, Icon, Fashion line, Lingerie line, Red Carpet, Fame, Chic, Skinny, Youthful, Beauty, Travel, Jet-setter, Adventure!!!

2^nd I cut all sorts of images and words out of magazines that resonated with me, and said something about my dreams.

3^rd I made two dream boards, one with images and words, one with mostly words. Below is the one with words that I put in the front of my binder so that every time I open it I can be reminded of my intentions so that I am constantly inspired to keep going after them (I think this is so important, and my dream board is on my fridge), and here is what I wrote on the back…

“Why shouldn’t I be Fabulously, Rich and Famous?!?!

Now I am not saying by any means that this is the root to all happiness, because I am happy with my life just as it is, but who actually deserves the spoon fed life, and why shouldn’t that be ME?

I can really make a change (more easily, because I am already trying to do that now) by becoming Fabulously, Rich and Famous!!! I could reach a lot more people!

My Mission: To become Fabulously Rich and Famous, to Change the World for the better, The good can be Strong!

Part 2:

I was speaking with another producer who will be working on a show with a girl who had a fan base of 1million on her blog/website, 1 million freakin people that’s nuts! So my other mission: To get over 1 millioooon people subscribing to my site and my blog! With that said there needs to be some changes! I need to make it more enticing for the viewer to come on my site…rather than just talk about me me me, how can I help you you you!!!!??????? Seriously tell me, how can I help you? I want to know, that is why I am here and why I am doing this! I want to show others that they can abide by this lifestyle as well and not be missing out on anything while being thin, beautiful, and healthy!

Here are some of my initial thoughts:

Video blogging! A lot of people don’t have time to read a whole lot, so to make life easier I am going to video blog.

Tips & Tricks: Tips and tricks of the trade being raw and/or fruitarian…I want to show people how to make their life easier…such as in the kitchen, at the grocery store, with their families, finding raw friends etc..

That’s all I got for now still need to brainstorm… so any advise, comments, or suggestions are welcome!

Im setting my sight on landing a reality raw un-cooking chef tv show on any network…Wish me Luck!!! And thanks for reading, soon to be watching J

My Claim to Fame

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:27:00 +0000

Fruit is Stacey’s Friend...blog entry # 23…my journey in becoming 100% LoFat Raw Vegan, meaning eating 80% or more of my calorie intake from carbs >10% Fat, >10% protein. Aka 80/10/10, or Fruitarian if you will.

My Claim to Fame

Day 3 (11 days to go) gotta have an end in site, I plan on going longer than 2 weeks, but at 2 weeks time I will feel very good about myself!!!

The Camera crew is gone, and the spotlight is dwindling haha….The shoot for the Food Network went amazing (I think, I hope)…The producer Lorna was so great, she made everything very easy on me so that it all felt very natural…well most of it…not the repeat yourself 5 times while behaving naturally and making sure you are standing the same exact way haha… I have never been in that situation, but now I know that is what makes good TV and that is what Lorna is good at J…

1^st it started out with the crew coming in and setting up their cameras lights and sound for about an hour…yup! We had to rearrange my house to be decent for certain shots, hopefully it looks ok on TV…how embarrassing if it doesn’t right!

Then my interview began..dun dun dunnnnnn…as you may or may not know I live in Echo Park, the land of the gangsta…so there are ghetto birds (is what we call them here on the dark side to you helicopter) flying over head constantly! This made for an interesting interview…I had to repeat what I said over and over, trying to remember what I had said was tough…oh gosh and then I got tongue tied, I couldn’t even say Fruitarian! Man that word grouped in a sentence can be a real tongue twister!!! But all in all Lorna said I was a natural (not sure if that was just to keep me calm, we will all soon know when the show airs in September on the food network)

Oh dang here was the hard part, I was getting really stressed out and frazzled, hopefully that did not come across on film. I was preparing a melon soup..

Sensational Summer Soup

-Honeydew cut in half, and gutted. (save inards and chop into small pieces, if you have a ¼” ice cream scooper this would make for much better presentation)

-Watermelon blended with a bit of ice and a bit of mint

-Pour watermelon into honeydew ½’s

The watermelon was so juicy the juice was flying everywhere, all over my kitchen and on my stove..i was in panic haha, then as I poured the soup into the bowl, the melon bowl titled and all the soup spilled out L I am sure this will be edited out…but it did not help my stress levels

Basically you can’t do anything while you are speaking because the mic does not pick up your voice clearly, so you have to speak and then chop…it was hard for me to remember! And then I kept looking at the camera instead of Lorna, so this is where frazzled comes into play…I just hope it comes out ok.

Then I made Raw Waldorf Salad

Apples

Grapes

Celery

Raisins

Figs

Coconut meat blended with a tiny bit of mandarin juice and a tiny bit coconut water (makes a yogurt cream)

Mix in with chopped fruit

My fruit friends, from Los Angeles Fruit Friends (meetup.com/losangelesfruitfriends.com) came over to eat the meal I had prepared. We had to eat and talk for 15 mins or so…it was difficult to sound natural…but low and behold we found things to talk about. So all went well for that scene J

Off to fruit foraging, Chris the natural as I like to call him now J took us to some amazing peach trees and banana trees, and a mandarin tree…woooo weee it was hot outside!

Then we were done (sad face) my claim to fame was over, but a glimpse,

Dust in the wind…. Bye bye showbiz…

Im setting my sight on landing a full season as a raw uncooking chef on the food network…Wish me Luck!!!

You say chezy I say fruitee

my comment at the end regarding 30 bananas was/is not meant to be a jab at 30bad, it is a question i am often asked, and one of the myths I would like to disprove through my delicious recipe creation. Love ya freely you are truly an inspiration to us all!

Ground Zero

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 20:53:00 +0000

I look totally weird but what the hey.

Fruit is Stacey’s Friend...blog entry # 22…my journey in becoming 100% LoFat Raw Vegan, meaning eating 80% or more of my calorie intake from carbs >10% Fat, >10% protein. Aka 80/10/10, or Fruitarian if you will.

Ground Zero

Day 1 (14 days to go) gotta have an end in site, I plan on going longer than 2 weeks, but at 2 weeks time I will feel very good about myself!!!

Ok so as you all know I have fallen of the wagon big time…! Not one blog entry since I returned from Costa Rica ☹ All for reasons that sound pathetic and self pitiable…(laughing with a sad face)……so this entry is to proclaim my new fresh beginning (emphasis on fresh fruit)!!!! Here is what went wrong and my in the near future plans to correct my previous endeavors. Following is a list of what I have realized in my failures, and the solutions which I am preparing to start practicing (there is never any gain from just stating problems without trying to come up with a solution for them, in “my matter of fact I know everything and you don’t voice” ;)

Recognition #1 ….I am truly addicted to the SAD (standard American diet), which include but are not limited to cooked foods, salt, dairy products, and everything else that you know you should not be eating, but want to for some reason, but can’t put your finger on why….I now know why …..addiction!!!!
Solution #1…go about this diet as any other addicted person must do 12 steps! 1st step, admit it!

Recognition #2….I am an all or nothing type of girl (awful realizing this about myself, but unfortunately it is true in more than one aspect in my life)….I am either gung ho and totally enthralled or the complete opposite “F’ it all, I’m gonna do want I want now” type of attitude… So introducing even the slightest variation of the LFRV diet leads to an absolute failure in my attempts to change. Even that “oohhh just one bite” mentality is not going fly! I have gone ssooo far gone off the diet that I even eat French fries, and cheese once again (what a wicked web we weave …in a sultry, sarcastic, drawn out, self defeated voice)

Recognition #3…real life, face to face support/motivation. When you have no one in your life who practices the same beliefs, nor do the people in your life even believe/support you in what you are doing, it can make it very hard to continue your own practice. As a social person I like to be surrounded by people who like and do the same things as me (I am sure you do to)…so when there is no one with you, and every one against you (also while they scrutinize you) it is hard to stay on track. Solution #3 find Fruit Friends! I have a meet-up group on meetup.com called “Los Angeles Fruit Friends” please join me ☺

FUTURE Fruitee PLANNING Committee!!!!
1. Since I am addicted, I am unable to be around people or places that will tempt my addiction…Sorry if this sounds mean, but I need to become a hermit so I can accomplish what I want/need for myself…I am sure those who love me will understand!

2. I need to buy a whole lotta fruit! Which I did this morning! So I am set. If what I have stops sounding appetizing then I need to go buy new fruit, and if that happens again then so be it…One great way to save the fruit you just don’t feel like eating is freezing it, or dehydrating it!

3. I am hereby now electing Helena as my Fruit friend, Helena if you are reading this, thanks for hanging out the past couple of days it has been amazing, what a difference a day makes with a real life fruit friend to converse with!

Thanks for reading even tho I suck now! I hope that although I am not one of those people who just pick up this diet and run with it (im the exact opposite boohoo) that I am still helpful to this health movement, eye-opener, or just helpful to you if you are on this journey as well. It is tough for me, but I am going to keep trying....even when I fall down really hard, I know I am coming back to my fruits it is just a matter of when…so many things have happened recently that were true signs I needed to get back on the horse…and I just could not ignore them any longer…so if you are in the same predicament as me…Please set a date to start again you will not regret it!

One Request, (as I learned from a great mentor) Please praise publicly, and criticize privately. In length, if you like what I am saying please share it with everyone by posting a comment beneath the post, but if you disapprove of what I have posted, please email me privately at stylestacey@yahoo.com, and I will be happy to discuss our points of views.

Healing Foods & Healthy Recipes, Low Fat Raw Vegan Meals ...Yummy!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:18:00 +0000

So I was just in Costa Rica for a month. For most of the time I was staying at Finca De Vida (Farm of Life) a Raw Healing Bed and Breakfast. What an amazing place, with such amazing people. I will never forget the experience I had while I was there.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for healthy/healing travel destinations. The Hosts Brian & Jody Calvi are such lovely people with a lot of knowledge on how to lead this desired lifestyle with ease.

Wilco Hermans was my partner in crime while I was there working in the kitchen preparing meals for the retreat goers. He is truly an amazing person with a beautiful soul, and he can make you laugh 100% of the time. He has a PHD in Holistic Nutrition. Although he is not on the farm all of the time he does have a website www.veggievibes.com. He has many years experience in natural hygiene, and I would recommend him any time someone needed help along their path. He does phone consultations, as well as through email.

Dr. Sam is a Physical Therapist and has been LFRV for 10 years, he is the facilitator of the retreats. If I learned one thing from him it was that you can not be healthy if you only worry about the food you eat, there are many components....including working out...which I need to get my but in gear, and get on top of that horse again!!! He is having another retreat in June, and if you are looking for fun, great food, and lots of outdoor activities this is the place to be!

I will not be there in June, but have left behind all the recipes we created together as a team so I am positive the food will be just as yummy as when I prepared it.

Health & Healing, in Love & Light!

Introduction

Every Raw-Habilitation dinner was low-fat, raw gourmet. Each meal contained an:

·Abundance of leafy greens,

·An assortment of salad toppings,

·One or two salad dressings,

·A main dish and/or a soup,

·Possibly a side item,

·A dessert

To be low fat, only one fat type was included in one dish at each meal (for proper food digestion). Generally, the fat was included in the main dish, soup or salad dressing. In the recipes that follow, the fat is indicated with green color.

Generally, our modo was to “Eat Dessert First”. Most dessert recipes were purely fruit, and therefore were eaten first for best digestion. A few desserts were high-gourmet, contain nuts and seeds and poor food combining and were eaten last.

In addition, all recipes exclude garlic, onions, cayenne, ginger and other irritants. Of course, these can be added upon your discretion to taste. We remind you that spicy foods falsely stimulate your body and therefore are enervating.

Most recipes were the inspiration of Wilco Hermans, Stacey Jackson, & Jody Calvi. Much gratitude is extended to Wilco and Stacey for their culinary genius. Some recipes were adapted from Sam Mielcarski, Eric Rivken, Jackie Graff, Ani Phyo and Gina Panayi. We also thank James and Riana for contributing dishes to the retreats – their recipes are included here.

Most recipes were made to taste. In living food preparation no two pieces of fruit or vegetable are the in flavor. So many recipes were taste tested along the way adding more of a certain ingredient until the dishes flavor was just right.

Just a little won’t hurt

noreply@blogger.com (Stacey Hearts Fruit) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:46:00 +0000

Fruit is Stacey’s Friend...blog entry # 21…my journey in becoming 100% LoFat Raw Vegan (LFRV), meaning eating 80% or more of my calorie intake from carbs >10% Fat, >10% protein. Aka 80/10/10 (811)…away from the Standard American diet (SAD diet)

Just a little won’t hurt

Day 12 (21 days to go….count down till I get home to my luvs)

As some of you know I am in Costa Rica, I have been busier than I thought and unable to blog the entire length of my trip (it was def my plan to blog the entire way through) I have been here 12 days, I am interning under Dr. Sam (a speaker at Raw Spirit). He is facilitating a retreat called RAW-habilitation out of a raw farm called Finca de Vida here in Costa Rica.

I am mostly in charge of preparing food for all of the retreat participants. I will be here for 2 retreats, and possibly returning in June to help on the 3^rd! We will see tho (I may miss my baby luv, and my baby apple a little too much to leave again)

I am not only on a journey to become 100% raw, 100% of the time, but also to eat hygienically, which means no condiments, little fat, as well as properly food combined meals (research Dr. Shelton’s Proper Food Combining).

As for the title of this blog, I ran into a statement on line “just a little won’t hurt” and it hit me THIS is where I find myself always getting in trouble. I will be at home making a meal and it will start out with the best intentions, and the healthiest choices possible, but THEN I start down the path of , owa and wouldn’t that be good, and wow that would taste nice in there as well. SO, here is a list of my just a little won’t hurt I foods that I need to realize and confront!!!

1. coco nut oil (mostly in smoothies)

2. mixing 2 fats together (ie nuts and avos, not a good mix, or coco and avo)

3. cayenne pepper

4. oil

5. onions

6. mushrooms

7. mixing too many food items in one meal (no more than 2 fruits allowed, and not more than 4 veggies…these should also be 2 separate meals as well)

8. Caco powder

9. over-eating (just one more bit, or sip, BAD)

10. mixing a sweet fruit with a fat ( I tend to like to do this to make dressings)

11. Using agave, honey or any other type of sweetner (when making deserts)

All of these practices are harmful no matter in what dose. They lead the body to crave more more more!!! And because I am trying to clean out my body, this is exactly what I want to avoid. Why go through all the hassle of detoxing to then load up in non-foods, or mis-combined foods to create that toxicity once more.

Interested in the Raw food meal planning menu I created? Just send me your email!

Don’t get ahead of yourself now

Day 5 (26 days to go….!)

Today I posted a set of rules on my fridge along with a set of someone else’s. I will start with the “someone else’s” I just thought they were genius, and because I too think this way, I knew it would be a big help to me.

I wrote a user manual for my body based on my experience.

INSTRUCTIONS

1)Feed with whole, fresh, ripe, raw fruits and vegetables.

2)Supply enough fresh fruits.

3)Give fruits as they are, do not blend or juice.

4)Give one food at a time.

5)Provide enough sleep and rest.

6)Engage in play.

7)Supply enough water.

8)Provide fresh air and sunshine.

9)Play Dr. Graham's talks.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Wants cooked food?...............You didn't supply enough fresh fruits.

Wants dried fruits?.................You didn't supply enough fresh fruits.

Wants nuts or seeds?.............You didn't supply enough fresh fruits.

Tired?......................................You didn't provide enough sleep and rest.

Doesn't feel motivated?.........You didn't play Dr. Graham's talks.

Depressed?.............................You didn't engage in play. OR You didn't provide fresh air and sunshine. OR You didn't supply enough fresh fruits.

Dehydrated?...........................You didn't supply enough water. OR You didn't feed with whole, fresh, ripe, raw fruits and vegetables.

Has muscle soreness?............You didn't supply enough fresh fruits “& water”. OR You didn't provide enough sleep and rest.

Bloated?.................................You didn't give fruits as they are. OR You didn't feed with whole, fresh, ripe, raw fruits and vegetables. OR You didn't give one food at a time.

Doubts the diet?.....................You didn't play Dr. Graham's talks. OR You didn't supply enough fresh fruits.

My rules

Start each day off with 1 liter of water at room temp.
Earn your 1^st meal (ie work out).
Dot not eat until 12 noon.
Do not eat unless hungry.
Drink lots of water (avoiding thirst).
Eat greens and vegetables alone & at my dinner meal
Eat as many mono meals as possible throughout the day.
Eat only (or less) 1 tblsp oil, 1/3 avo, handful of nuts a day, or handful of olives a day.
Do not eat after 8pm.
Avoid people & places that lead you into temptation.
Water fast for 1-3 days a week.

3/5/10 meal analysis

Started with a large glass of water, not even close to hitting a liter, but I am sure I will get there with time.

2 Apple 1 banana 5 date, squeeze of lime, so yummy (next time 2 nana’s 1 apple more smooth that way less apple sauceish)

2 Cucumbers 6 stalks of celery 4 sprigs of dill, tiny tbsp of tahini processed till it was soup. Pretty good…not amazing but good. Very light and fresh in flavor.

“Carmel” apples during a movie and I admit a few bites of popcorn (I spoke too soon, referring to my title “it ain’t nuthin’ yet pshhhh, don’t get too full of yourself now stacey right!?! What a dumbo I can be….never underestimate the power of temptation when it is right in front of your face. There is nothing I can do about the way my hunny bunny eats, so I am just going to have to learn to deal with this and just say NO when he is eating one of my favs SAD foods.

3/5/10 Activities

Took babykins for a walk around echo park lake again she loves it there. Walked to farmers market bought a whole bunch of greens, and fresh herbs can’t wait to add em to my smoothies and soups.

3/5/10 Symptoms

Not such a bad taste in my mouth, but heavy heavy sleeping still, and legs feel kinda achy. Took a nap in the middle of the day, I didn’t sleep long, but apple sure did!
