Please keep in mind that my dietary program has changed since I began and most likely will continue to change slightly, however, the foundation remains the same--use only organic, unprocessed foods.
Upon waking- Drink one freshly squeezed lemon in a glass of room temperature water.
About half an hour later, I drink a glass of freshly squeezed organic orange juice.
About a half hour later:
Breakfast-fruit. One or more pieces depending upon how big the fruit is. I love Asian pears which are pretty large, so I usually eat only one each morning when they are in season.
About an hour after breakfast- Drink 2 cups of freshly juiced organic vegetable juice. (One cup carrot juice mixed with one cup beet juice with the tops, a tablespoon of Barley Green, and about a tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseeds)
Lunch- Large organic salad, a little organic brown rice with homemade pickled raw napa cabbage, a little beans and a small baked potato.
(Large organic salad made up of sliced romain lettuce, shredded head cabbage, shredded carrots, mung bean sprouts, scallions or onions. For dressing, I use a crushed garlic and rub it into the bowl before I put in the salad ingredients in. I then add organic extra virgin olive oil, a little sundried sea salt, and cayenne powder. Add the salad ingredients and toss. Yum!...)
About an hour after lunch I take another 2 cups of vegetable juice. (One cup carrot juice mixed with one cup romaine lettuce juice and a tablespoon of Barley Green.)
About an hour after that I drink about 2 cups of distilled water.
About an hour later, I may have some fresh coconut. (I drink the coconut water and eat maybe half of the coconut meat.)
About an hour later, I have another 2 cups of vegetable juice. (One cup carrot juice mixed with one cup of cucumber juice and 1 tablespoon of Barley Green)
About an hour later is dinner.
Dinner - Another large salad mixed with organiccc whole wheat noodles. (no additives on the package, just organic durum whole wheat flour).
About an hour after dinner, another 2 cups of vegetable juice. (One cup carrot juice mixed with one cup of lettuce with a tablespoon of Barley Green.)
If I feel like it, I may have a snack about 1/2 hour or so after my last vegetable juice. I like to mix rolled oats, freshly ground flaxseeds, sesame seeds, and honey together.
Then,
finally, by about 9-9:30 or just before bedtime, I drink another glass
of lemon water.
As a vegan, I began to become concerned with my B12 level. B12 is very important for blood production. After becoming independent of transfusions, I noticed that my mean corpuscle volume (MCV) was increasing possibly meaning that blood was being released into my pheripheral blood stream before it was completely matured. The size increase is a possible indication of B12 deficiency. Therefore, I tried supplementing with B12. This did not seem to make any difference to my blood counts, so I decided to try to get it from the real deal--raw fish and some raw (unpasteurized), unsalted dairy. Although our bodies need B12, it only needs a small amount, therefore I only consume fish (sushi/sashimi) once a week. (During lunch on Mondays so far.)
