Today is the day !

I am starting the eat to live lifestyle. Yesterday I did a sea salt flush which is 1 liter of room temperature distilled or spring water with two teaspoons of unrefined, non- addictive sea salt. This will cleanse your digestive tract. I liked how I felt afterwards that I am doing another sea salt cleanse as I type. I got up this morning very i to change my life of unhealthy habits. I am currently fixing a big pot of mixed greens ( collard, mustard, turnip ) and a big pot of black beans with cilantro. I am going to start reading the complete book of eat to live today. As of yesterday I had only read the six week meal plan. Wish me luck. Hopefully if you are reading this you may see benefit in eating to live as well.

Jamaican food weakness

So in a few minutes I will be eating my last Jamaican dish of curry goat, plantains, rice and peas. I love Jamaican food but its best I let it go. I am excited about changing my lifestyle. It's finally time I hold myself accountable for my own health. I realized any major life threatening condition, at least the major ones like heart disease, diabetes and high blood can be connected to poor eating habits. I already have one of those conditions and that is one too many. I am too young to have a major health condition.

Eat To Live

I bought the book Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman today. I am really excited to start reading the book. I always do research on new ways of eating for health and I came across his book. I have read many reviews and it seems to be a no gimmicks type book which is a breath of fresh non polluted air. The book is based on a 6 week meal plan that promises a 20lb or more Weightloss. The meal plan is based on unlimited amounts of beans, legumes, raw vegetables,greens, veggies, fresh fruits, a few nuts, 1 oz of ground flaxseed, limited amount of starchy vegetables and grains, no dairy, animal products,fruit juice, between meal snacks and oils. I am going to read the book starting today and will start eating to live Sunday 1/30/12.
