There ended up being no tomatoes or ham left so I just waited for the gumbo... which did not stay down lol. Oh well, I'll try something easier tomorrow. Thanks for thinking of me

I hope tomorrow's meal goes better

 

 

Google it. I can't explain, it's one of those Brazilian foods from heaven

Lmao! Would you believe we have something very similar to that here? It's not a great example though, I'd have more vegetables and go for more textures.

 

 

My favourite thing to do with a cantaloupe is to just cut it in half, saran wrap the other half. Scooop out the cuts, then I put yoghurt and fruit in the middle and it's an edible bowl!!!

My fridge has annoying tiers that make it impossible to keep half cantaloupe, unless it was a small one. I'd have to slice up the whole thing. That does sound delicious though, I'm a cantaloupe fiend.

Oh, that's pretty similar to our feijoada! But we use almost every part from a pig, including ear, paw and tail. I don't like the pig parts too much, but the beans :9

I just ate some gluten-free pasta and a giant kale salad

Busted out the grill today. I have been told to eat more so BAM! Ate it during the sunset. Tomorrow ... BBQ Chicken!

Had oatmeal with banana and almonds this morning.

 

Just had a cucumber, lettuce and mushroom sandwich on whole wheat with mustard for lunch.

 

Tonight I'm planning on making chicken stir-fry (boneless skinless chicken breast, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, mushrooms) with homemade light orange garlic sauce (a mixture of vegetable broth, a bit of corn starch, soy sauce, sugar-free orange marmalade, 2 packets of Splenda, rice vinegar, minced garlic and ginger). It's a shit ton of prep but worth it.

 

Yesterday I had spicy mushroom-stuffed BLSL chicken breast with a side of garlic and herb butternut squash and steamed cauliflower for supper.

Because I've been throwing up so much lately, I've decided to switch to an all liquid diet in hopes that it'll stay down and I won't end up in the hospital like I did last year. I'll be doing The Master Cleanse, made popular by my queen, Beyonce. It's definitely an intense cleanse, but I've got to keep something down and I've been wanting to flush all the toxins from my body for months now. I'll probably do this for about 10 or so days, then gradually start adding solid foods back into my diet. I'll also be doubling up on my liquid multivitamin to ensure I'm getting enough nutrition, and will be do saltwater flushes when I wake up and before bedtime to aid bowel movements and to keep my salt intake up. I've read blog after blog on this and it's really helped some people, so I think it's worth a shot. Obviously, if I notice any unwanted effects besides the normal hunger the first few days, I'll stop and let my doctor know. Hope this helps my body get back to normal.

I've learned to like tomatoes. e.e (kind of)

The master cleanse is intense. Just be careful. You will lose weight but you'll gain it back. Hopefully this will help whatever is going on in your body with the detox portion of the cleanse. I've known people who have done it for the full two weeks and a couple who have done it for 10 days. I have wanted to try it myself but I can't bring myself to not eating atleast once a day.

Yes, definitely being careful! Starting tomorrow bc I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, but hopefully it doesn't taste too awful lol. Yeah I'm not doing it so much for the weight loss but to get my body back in order so then I can focus on the weight loss and not my vomiting. I'll let you know how it goes.

Best of luck! Seriously hope it helps you out. I heard it does do your body good for detoxing, Cheyenne Pepper and Water isn't bad. I'm sure with Grade B maple syrup and Lemon is better! Hopefully you've eased yourself into the no hard food portion and have eaten lightly these past 3 days.

I've been eying the master cleanse ever since I heard about it, but I've never felt the need to do it myself. Good to hear that you've done loads of readings and will know what to look out for. Do keep us updated on how things go.

[Shane]

Kale, potatoes, black beans, green pepper, corn, onion. Turned out really good as a bowl. Home made of course.

Started out today with a banana  

Had a glass of soy milk with some protein in it after my yoga session

Now having a bowl of Q'ia 'cereal' from costco (basically my chia pudding with other goodies in it)

Thanks so much! I already eat pretty small portions so I didn't have to worry too much about easing into things. Starting tomorrow since my doc only wants me on it for 7 days.

Yes, will do! Really hoping it works with all the detoxing bc I'd love to just start new afterwards. Gonna do lots of clean eating when I'm done.

Meal for today: Cooked Tomato, Kale, Green Onion, Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper sauce on top of noodles.

 The beautiful Lingzhi mushroom turned into potent tea! This mushroom kicks ass. It benefits all of the major organs and can safely treat dozens of medical issues. They are even used as a cancer treatment! The old Chinese emperor referred to this as the mushroom of immortality and outlawed civilian usage. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woop. Woop. Eggs!

 

Spoiler

 

Eggs.. the "secret" metabolism and healthy hormone booster. Eating three or more a day can make you lose fat while simultaneously gaining strength/increasing cardiovascular performance. Eggs contain all 12 essential amino acids (protein building blocks) and healthy fats including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. 

 

 

... and WTH they're cheap too!

 

 

 Rock on codex! Keep up the healthy work!

Whelp, I've been slacking my diet for a couple of months now. Time to be disciplined again!

 

Okay, gonna sketch my starting situation here (about a year ago). Most of it still applies today fml T_T So, I eat very little and very bad. When I started to keep track of my food, before I started any changes, I ate about 900 calories a day, which is obviously way too little. I barely ever have a feeling of hunger, nor do I feel full. I usually skip breakfast and lunch (not intentionally, just busy days ) or eat very little, and binge at dinner. Eating more regularly - eating (bigger) breakfast & lunch and smaller dinners - make me extremely nauseous Plus, slow thyroids run in the family, so my body is trying its best to screw me over

 

For example, what I've eaten today? It's 2 pm and I ate a bowl of chocolate custard 10 minutes ago I'm not really hungry so I'm probably not eating until dinner, which is going to be homemade pizza (to entertain my younger siblings of 3 and 8 years old and celebrate mother's day, pizza is not something I regularly eat )

 

So yeah. It's a process, a matter of habituation (?? is that the right word idk) but it's been a struggle the last year Anyone with tips for eating more, however counter-intuitive that may seem? During good weeks (which have been few lately), I exercise 3 times a week about 3 hours and eat about 1200 calories, avoiding (but not cutting out on) carbs and focusing on protein for my workouts. I've become pretty good at getting sugar out of my diet (again, on good weeks, which is clearly not this week with my custard ), but the occasional coke slips through

Avocado=Connor McJesus of foods

 

1 of those everyday for me for a few months and we'll see how it goes.
