Re:What happens if...
Here are 3 easy introductions to a healthier diet:
Here are two recipes that are excellent. My wife's cholesterol went from an ok 195 to a much better 160 (69 HDL, 70 LDL) with these:
Furhman's Breakfast:
all amounts modifiable
1/2 cup 5 minute oatmeal
westsoy unsweetened vanilla or plain soymilk
some raisins, and or dates, and or currants
as many berries as you want - no limit on any berries. blue are a favorite, but use cran, straw, and rasp to your heart's content
grapes
a handful of nuts (raw almonds, walnuts, etc.). handful is what fits in your palm - not squeezed in a fist
tablespoon of ground flax
I add 6-7 fresh cranberries
any other fruit that you want in moderation
3 ways to prepare - make up the night before and let sit.
i make it up the night before but do not add the soy until ready to eat
make it up the night before, add the soy in the morning and let sit 15-30 minutes
the night before sit method is the thickest
you can sprinkle wheat germ on it to give it a crunch!
Lunch:
again, all amounts modifiable
5
oz spring mix (we use earthbound organics). if you freeze it and then thaw it, cover with water, it gets very seaweed like - it blends very easily
1-1.5 cups westsoy unsweetened vanilla or plain soymilk
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lemon
1 banana
1/2 cup + frozen or fresh blueberries
blend as you add each ingredient.
finally - for a supplement that is all plant based, vitalerbs.
