Day 1: Andrew

Good evening everybody!

Today is the official day one of our detox! We began the day by hydrating ourselves with spring water. We're also trying oil pulling, so we'll give you an update on how we feel that works as we play with it.

For breakfast, I made a smoothie of apple, grapefruit, orange, lemons, bananas, cranberries, a little honey, parsley, and a whole lot of lettuce greens.

The parsley was very powerful and needed a lot to offset it. The drink turned out to be sweet and a touch bitter. What did we learn? Save parsley for later in the day. :P

So about 11ish I put together another drink called Goji Julius from Alissa Cohen's book "Raw Food for Everyone." It was so delicious and refreshed us after our previous drink.

I was dying to get outside in the sun, so I took a walk down the road. It was absolutely gorgeous! It was cold, cold, cold, but the sun was shining so brightly. I came back after a bit, but was that the last time I went outside? Of course not! I went outside later that afternoon for another walk in the sun! :D

Early this afternoon, I was missing solid foods, and I was really wanting just about anything solid. But I settled in and got some work done, and a couple hours later the craving was gone.

We also watched Jay Kordich's interview with Charlotte Gerson. She's such a beautiful lady, and she's so inspiring! I highly recommend this video.



Tonight, I made us a savory drink with tomatoes, red bell pepper, parsley, garlic, dulse, freshly ground flax, an avocado, a lemon, and celery. It was sooo good. I find it really good to eat savory drinks like this to break up all of the sweet drinks. Too much sweet and my mouth and mind rebel.

We're planning on watching Fat, Sick, & Nearly Deadin a little bit. It's a really great movie. I've seen it before but Jacqueline hasn't. It's one of my favourite raw food movies. You really fall in love with some of the folks who are cleansing. When you hear why they're changing their diets, you really start rooting for them.

Anyway, that's all for today. If you enjoyed this post, "like" it or share it! And leave a comment down below telling me if you have a favourite health food movie. I love seeing them and would like to add some to the list that I need to see. I'll talk to you tomorrow!
