Overt Fat-Free Me! :)

Okay, so I've been considering this off and on for a while now. I've decided to go overt-fat free as my "regular" status rather than a "sometimes" thing. I don't know if I'll have enough of a steady supply of things to be able to go overt fat-free forever, but I'm a-gonna' try.

I've noticed repeatedly that I feel better and seem to be doing better without the overt fats IF I get enough calories with fruit otherwise, that is. That has been a challenge with some of the banana famine situations and such, but I think I've got it figured out either way now. I may resort to partial dehydrating and/or freezing things and raisins at times if needed, but I think I'll do better with that than with the overt fats.

If I do have overt fats it will be in smaller amounts as well. No more eating too much overt fats then doing none for a while to balance it out. I'm gonna' keep the total fats to 10% or lower every day, not just as an average. Well, that's the plan at least. We'll see how that goes.

So far it's been going fairly well.

Today I ate:

watermelon
bananas
papayas

The day before I think it was:

watermelon
papayas
mango
something else I can't remember now, hehe

The day before that it was:

papayas
longan
mango
lettuce
tomatoes

I don't remember the day before that, but it was overt fat-free too, and a few days before that I believe as well. :) I think that may be the day I splurged on organic cherries (which don't grow here so they were $8/lb eek!) - tasty though. :) I've been having a lot of pineapple too, but not the past few days 'cause of all the watermelon and papaya and mango, hehe. Oh, and I made a cauliflower tabouli the other day too... Lately though, I've been more into just eating the food straight-up like it grows pretty much. Makes sorta' boring pics, hehe, which is part of the reason I haven't been taking them...

I'll try to start taking pics of it again for ya' anyway.

Aloha!

    So I stayed over fat-free 'till sometime during the FoodnSport events in September. The amount of fat served there was minimal though. Then I was overt fat-free for a while longer. I think I went back to over fats in late October. It's almost mid-December and I am having overt fats off and on now again. I'm thinking of going overt fat-free again for a while soon. I'm tracking stuff at Fitday so you'll see whether I actually do or not.

Cabbage Wrapped Salad n Sprouts (Recipe)

Image
Wraps are simple and fun, especially when you dip them. Tightly wrap the contents to avoid losing it out the ends. Alternately, you can have use all of the sauce on the sprouts for a wet wrap. Wet wraps benefit from folding over the bottom to avoid leakage and is easiest with the version described without the wrap leaf's rib removed. You don't need to have the same cabbage or sprouts I grew. You can substitute any other large leafed greens for the cabbage and other sprouts or salad for my sprouts. Also, feel free to use your own sauce instead. Ingredients:    Wrap: Cabbage (or other large green for wrap)    Filling: Sprouts: Broccoli Sprouts (or other sprouts) Fenugreek Sprouts (optional) Salad Greens Sorrel (to taste) Lettuce and other salad greens (as desired and available) Tomato, sliced in strips (enough to run length of wrap when layed end to end, Roma are good for this) Optional: Avocado, sliced in strips (optional in wrap to lay in a str

Joys of Growing Your Own Food (Some of them, at least)

Image
This was originally sent to my email list. Click here if you want to sign up.   I love plants! I love growing them and eating them..and a whole lot more. One of the top reasons I love growing my own food is being able to grow things I want to eat, and especially things I wouldn't be able to have access to otherwise. Cabbage leaves harvested from my garden yesterday. Case in point: the cabbage leaves I harvested yesterday. Believe it or not: these two leaves are the smaller leaves from a plant I have basically neglected for a while! (It is on an automatic drip watering system). They are an open leaved variety that is simply beautiful to me, grows well where I am, rarely gets spicy hot (if ever), is bolt resistant (so does not go to seed fast and I can keep harvesting for longer), and is great for wrappers in wraps (or chopped in ways cabbage is often used). Another example: the top pic here is "Janie" created by arranging "Armenian" Cucu

Holiday Recipe Video: My Take on Fig Cake (Pan de Higo)

Image
My take on a recipe traditionally served at Christmas is an easy, simple, and quick healthy low-fat raw vegan gluten-free holiday recipe which also follows the food combining principles of Natural Hygiene and 80/10/10.  I make half of the recipe without machines, and the other half with a food processor. Then I compare and combine them, do a little ambiance for it, and sample it.  Nutrition Facts are included as well. Enjoy! :)
