My New Diet

My flax seed oil came in Thursday, the23rd, and since then I have been having my smoothie, based on the Budwig Protocol, for breakfast. 

This is how I make it:  2/3 cup organic cottage cheese; 6 Tbsp. flax seed oil--Blend this together with my immersion blender and let set 5 min.  Then I add some berries and water; blend and drink.

This is really filling, so I don't really eat lunch, just a snack in the afternoon, dinner, and sometimes a snack before bed.  The cottage cheese is the only dairy in my diet and according to my reading it loses its dairy properties when combined with the oil.  Dr. Budwig used this, along with other things, to treat cancer patients for years. 

The rest of my diet is mostly raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts.  I have tried different things like;

I tried making a green smoothie with kale and other veggies one of the first days.  My smoothie maker didn't blend it very well...and it was disgusting.  Thick and ...uchk!!  It made me gag...I drank it...but gagging.  Later I read somewhere about making sure you don't use the stalks of the kale, so maybe that was why but...not going to do that one again.

I have juiced different things for a snack or just to drink.  Carrot/Apple juice is really good.  I even juiced kale, cucumber, and carrot and it was OK.  But yesterday...mmmm!...I juiced oranges and added a little almond milk....it was delicious! Juicing the oranges makes the juice all frothy! Yummy!

I have also tried out a few raw vegan recipes so I don't have to eat salad every night.  I made these cabbage rolls that were good and I will definitely have again.  I also tried raw spaghetti (zucchini instead of noodles) that was OK.  But I have definitely had a lot of salads.  And I don't like raw collard greens...it is like trying to eat a houseplant!  I have tried a couple of dressing recipes...but I don't really care for either of them.  I need to find a good fake Ranch recipe.

I have also had some cooked meals.  I had beans, cooked spinach, and last night I made some stew with lentils and cabbage. 

I also just snack on nuts, veggies, or fruit whenever I am hungry.  Last night I ate half an avocado.

I am looking forward to trying some new recipes for both my cooked and raw meals.

I am losing weight and really feeling much better.  I don't have the upset stomach problems that I had with my old diet and my back pain, which was causing me quite a bit of pain two weeks ago, is almost non-existent.  (The doctor thought back pain was caused by cancer near my back.)

Thank you for your continued support and prayers!  God is awesome!
