This morning I weighed 162 pounds, a loss of 13 pounds since I began the diet a month ago.

I have passed the 28 day cleanse timetable and am continuing with this diet to lose more weight and continue cleansing.  The book says it is OK to continue until you are satisfied with your weight and feel like you have accomplished your goals.

I am gradually feeling better and I hope to regain full health.  I still have yet to gather all the herbs the various chapters suggest!  I tallied all the most recommended herbs and foods and “wild” blueberries topped the list.  You can find WILD blueberries in the freezer section in most grocery stores.  They are supposed to be much better than tame ones.

Today I finally made a salad to mix it up and have something other than smoothies and herbal tea and nuts and fruit.  I still used similar ingredients but the texture was refreshing.  I used chopped spinach, celery, avocado, banana, cucumber, raisins, walnuts, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, turmeric powder, parsley, and garlic.  It was delicious!!

A few days ago I made a dessert of powdered chlorella, powdered spirulina, coconut oil, coconut flakes, stevia leaves, hemp seeds, flax seeds, dried apricots, raisins, brazil nuts, and honey.  It tasted a little bit like peanut butter and honey cookie dough.  I made it to keep from eating sweet treats that the rest of the family was having, but they helped me eat my sweet treat too!
