I know people that have run marathons barefoot. Something I inventigated but was too lazy to go through with. It's just a matter of getting your feet back in the shape they were, lifetimes ago, before we started wimping them with shoes.
Shoes cause us to run and walk differently and unaturally. Maybe not so bad for regular walking, but you can definately spot the difference in running when

Consider it done. I've been adding ginger to everything!
I am drinking celery, green apple and ginger right now. Think that's gonna be my evening cocktail for awhile.

Thanks everyone. Think I will stick with my 1/2 beet plan for now, then use the rest later.

155. Beets!
OK, I bought beets for the first time ever last night. Um, now what? I've never had them in anything.
I mostly got them because I saw them in a few juicer recipes. However, the things are pretty big - not just the bulby part but the stalk as well. So is that whole part edible/juicable?
First I think I will try this:
5 Carrots
1 Apple
1/2 Beet
Since I"ve never had beets befor

Great idea rawkitty. A change in environment can do wonders, or even just changing who you hang out with. I know I started eating healthier when I started taking yoga classes and seeing all those damn skinny, healthy, flexible, strong people!

I've met people who have done 60 day master cleanses, which is essentially a kind of juice fast. A juice fast would be giving you a lot more vitamins and minerals of course, so I can't see why you couldn't do it for quite a long time.
However doing it indefinately worries me a bit. I'd be worried about things not getting pushed out through the colon. Maybe somebody can correct me on whether

lol! I know maui! That's how I feel. You're exactly right.
I actually took my juicer owners manual to work yesterday to get to know it better. Then I was reading recipes online all day at work. I went to the manufacturer's website:
and was IMing the link to my friends and family. Then I watched the demo video on the site. (I didn't really need to watch it, but my friend mentioned

I gave up alchohol years ago, realizing that I was unable to moderate.
Only more recently I gave up an addiction to the sleeping pills I was using as a substitute. Not only did I "need" them to get to sleep, but I would take them just for the buzz.
It took me multiple times to quit on each one. Each time I went back on the habit, I felt an enourmous sense of regret. Lots of pai

160. Re: Juicing Veggies
I just got my juicer yesterday. So far I've had celery apple carrot (about 4 of each), and celery apple orange (3 of each and 2 oranges).
And I had plain orange juice, which I love, becuase it's kind of a smoothie rather than squeezed juice. I've also been juicing ginger, though I haven't put it in anything yet. (Straight up!)
I'd say the first two I mentioned would be good for you, becua

Just made some orange juice. Amazing how it comes out. I just peeled off the outer layer and left a lot of the white stuff. It's very foamy and frothy and creamy like. amazing. I wonder if I could just leave the peel on? That's good stuff isn't it?

So I finally determined that with my hiatal hernia/GERD that a juicer was no longer a luxury but a MUST. So I just got one today. Paid about $170. It was that or the Jack Lalaynne one which looked cheesy, and I was hearing the voices of people in my past who have always said that you really should invest in a good one.
My first drink was carrot/apple/celery. It was wonderful.

Also check all the raw recipe things for all the dessert type stuff you can make with fruits, nuts, dates, etc. You don't want to go overboard on that stuff either, but it's good transitional food for getting into healthier eating.
One nice snack that somebody here told me about was to blend some nuts and dates together in a food processor. You can them roll them into little balls and they a

174. Re: Mono-eating?
If you don't mind a technical question for a moment. Are there really different enzymes in my body for something like a green bean vs. a snow pea?
If so, then it raises the question for me about how many enzymes DOES my body have? Is there like a database in my DNA that contains instructions on how to build the enzymes for every single food? Or what? lol

A little late on this thread, but I just wanted to ask a bit. If had something like snow peas, green beans, snap peas - would those be close enough to be a single mono meal?

I suppose this could be likened to the Buddhist and yogic idea of "sankharas" or "samskaras."
I've never heard it applied to food so much as chronic muscular tensions, which, when resolved, can lead to a kind of flashback of the episode or idea that caused the tension to manifest.
Sounds pretty much like the same thing as far as I can tell.

My experience with the master cleanse (3 of them) was great. Not only did I lose weight from them (which wasn't even my goal) but I continued to drop weight when I came off it. The first time I did it I lost 10 pounds on and 10 more pounds coming off.
