Friday Food Report

This is the Friday Food Report coming to live from my very own Kitchen.
OK yesterday was a good day for food. I had:
1 Mango
3 Banana's
2 Avocado's
2 Tomato's
1 Apple
handful of chives
handful of mushrooms
kombu seaweed
This is all the live fresh food I ate. This is not juiced. This was eaten in different combo's but mostly I just ate a banana or had a tomato.
Then to round it out I had about 4 cups of black or green tea and then some rice and assorted nuts.
When I asked my little girlfriend how many fresh veggies she had, well sadly she had none. Is that typical for most people? I gotta say yes. Most of us just eat so much fractionated food. Yes pasta is OK but it is not fresh. A sandwich is tasty but also not fresh. Tortilla chips,,,,yum.....salsa.....yum too, but also not fresh.
Have a banana. If you are hungry try some fresh fruit or an avocado. Oh yeah I also had my sprouted bread that I just love so much. I had it with some Miso on it.
When you eat like this you get a very mellow feeling. I think the banana has something to do with that. I am going to try to have 2 or 3 of them everyday and see if they help me sleep better. I had a very easy sleep last night. Could it be from the banana? It also helped with the restless leg syndrome I get in bed. Must be the magnesium.
Anyhoo that is my food report for today.

Me in the morning

OK it is really cold in my house, so I wear this in the morning until I warm up. Cute right?
When I first started eating raw about 25 years ago I followed a book called: Fit for Life. I was a fanatic at that time and really followed the books tenets to a T. The hardest part was the breakfast. They called for only fruit until noon each day. Eating cold fruit every morning was hard. In the winter it was doubly hard. I used to make this concoction in my Cuisinart that was a mess of fruit blended up and then eaten with a spoon. A crazy friend who live with us for a while and who had to adhere to the same food policy called it "fruit poop"! Oh man, it did make you poop too!
I would never try to eat cold fruit in the morning in winter anymore. I just don't think it sets right with me. I used to get these crushing gut aches from it. But it was supposed to be healthy right? I read years later the wife of the guy who wrote the book divorced him and wrote her own book about healthy eating and she does not recommend the cold fruit in the AM. I think she just sick of the guy as he was really a Zealot! So many rules to live by.
I had my sprouted bread thingy this morning and zapped it for 10 second to take of the chill. I think I might have some Miso Soup tomorrow as well. I need to get some green onions, as the taste of Miso Soup just cries out for green onions. Well If I am going to get the green onions I might as well go whole hog and get the shitaki mushrooms.
