10 Simple rules to eating healthy

These 10 rules are taken from the book "Eat to Live".
1. SALAD is the main dish!
2. Eat atleast 4 fresh fruits (I prefer mine at breakfast)
3. Use a variety of greens
4. Beware of starchy vegetables
5. Eat beans or legumes (atleast 1 cup to start with, and make sure they are sprouted!)
6. Eliminate animal and dairy products
7. Use 1 Tablespoon of flaxseed daily (make sure to grind it fresh each day)
8. Eat 1 oz of nuts and seeds (preferably in the morning or early afternoon)
9. Eat lots of mushrooms (a good source of nutrients and protein- use it as a substitution to meat)
10. Keep it simple!!!

Here is a simple sample of a meal plan:

Breakfast- fresh fruit
Lunch- salad, beans, fruit (for dessert)
Dinner- salad, 2 cooked veggies and fruit dessert

Your goal should be to eat 1 pound of fresh veggies (dark green) and 1 pound of cooked. Remember, the more dark greens you eat, the healthier you will be, and the quicker you will shed those stubborn pounds!

Yeast Cleanse

This is the herbal protocol if you have a systematic yeast problem. Follow it for one cycle. At the end of the cycle check your progress. If you feel like you still have a yeast problem, repeat the entire program. This is a 3-4 week program.
-1 part black walnut hulls combined in equal parts with 1 part Pau'd Arco (sifted)
*combine the black walnut and Pau'd Arco (1/2 and 1/2) and make a tea. Drink 1 quart of this tea for the first 3 days.
-Eat only raw or lightly steamed veggies for the first 3 days.
-for the next 2-3 weeks take 1 Tablespoon of Slippery Elm Bark Powder (70%) and Licorice root powder(30%) mixed up to form a paste. Take 1 T every waking hour for the next 2-3 weeks.
-Eat only raw or lightly steamed or cooked vegetables. This can be in the form of soups, stir frys, salads, etc..
-After 3-4 weeks on the slippery elm and licorice you will repeat the 3 days of the black walnut hull and Pau'd Arco tea.
-Check your progress and repeat the program if necessary.

Green Smoothies

Here are four basic steps to making a good green smoothie.
1. Nerver blend anything but fruit, green leafy vegetables and water (veggies have starch)
2. Keep it simple- stick to the basics and use a reciepe that you enjoy!
3. Don't try to be perfect too quickly (adding too much of a good thing can make your smoothie taste biter. Just stick to what you enjoy and then gradually add more greens and healthy supplements.)
4. Rotate the greens that you use.
