Food Log Dec 5, 2014

I'm working on getting back into the swing of posting things here again, and appreciate your patience with the ebb and flow of it all. :)

Today I photographed, weighed, and logged what I ate as a start on this. I'll do some videos of this sort of thing in the future as well as other areas once I get more efficient at editing them.

People want to know what kinds of things I'm eating these days, so here's a day's worth of food... on a day I did mostly computer work.

You may notice that I'm not eating very many calories in comparison to what I used to. This is partly from a lower activity level overall, and today specifically. I've also found I seem to be utilizing the calories more efficiently than I did early on with this diet. It's been a gradual process over time. I don't seem to need as many calories for the same activity levels as I used to. It turns out well, because I used to love that I could eat so much and now I love that I don't need to. Nice. :)

Okay, so today... everything is organically grown, not GMO:

Starfruit (carambola) from our farm: 476 grams

One persimmon from health food store: 108 grams


Papayas (sunrise) from our farm: 1,068 grams (pic on left minus ones on right left over)
One cucumber (marketmore) from a friend's farm: 298 grams (it's magic! naa.. just messin' with Lightroom)


Mamey sapote from the farmer's market: 330 grams


One head heart of romaine lettuce from grocery store: 1,302 grams


Juice combo of (pic on left became juice on right):
  • 1 ruby red grapefruit: 152 grams juice
  • 3 honey tangerines: 192 grams juice
  • 3 Valencia oranges: 380 grams juice

This totals 1,670 calories in the following caloronutrient ratio: 86% carbs, 9% protein, 5% fat

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! :)
