7-Day Juice Cleanse Diet: The Rest of the Recipe

This one is called Red Dawn

This is officially my 6th day on this juice cleanse diet. Whew!

I've already blogged about  Day 1 Breakfast and Day 1 Lunch. But I must admit that I never really stuck to this diet alone (sorry!) because... well... I really felt so hungry!  Oops! Although I did manage to just eat a cup of rice, a bunch of microwaved green leafy vegetable (saluyot and kangkong), 1 egg and 1 small baked milkfish which lasted me one whole day each day of this diet. It's still pretty healthy albeit limited. Plus one egg a day prevents breast cancer by 12%!, did you know that? I read that somewhere before...  And when I need to work all night, I just make a veggie and tuna sandwich with cheese (So I guess I can really never go Vegan... I just love egg and cheese so much!) The rest of the time, I was taking my vegetable and fruit shakes. The regular food was just there when I really can't take the hunger pangs anymore. Coz when I get hungry, I get gassy and my tummy blows up like a balloon. That's one of the downside of having GERD which is why I can never manage to get a flat tummy no matter what I do. But lo and behold, after Day 3 on this juice cleanse thing (coupled with one regular meal per day), my tummy does look a bit flat these days.  Plus I lost a few pounds too! Yey! It also helps that I've also been caffeine-free for 6 days now which means less acidity in my stomach therefore less gas and less bloatedness. I wish to continue that. I feel so much better without caffeine in my system! I feel more alive and awake! Weird huh? Well, that's coz the enzymes from the fruits and vegetables I've been ingesting are giving me so much nutrients that my body really needs.

Anyway, I'll share with you here the rest of the recipe for the 7 Day Juice Cleanse. If you have enough discipline in yourself to stick to it, please do. Don't be like me so you can experience all the healthful benefits it has to offer. As for me, at least my body is getting used to it now. I've been craving less and less for the usual food I eat which is a good sign. I'll continue incorporating the vegetable and fruit shakes in my diet  and perhaps one day I'll just be surprised that I've given up fish, rice and dairy too. (^_^)

This one's called Dr. Oz's Green Drink

Check out my previous posts for the first two recipes:
7-Day Juice Cleanse Day 1 Breakfast
7-Day Juice Cleanse Day 1 Lunch

Some tips:

• I usually add water so it's easier to blend.
• When it gets bitter for my taste I put a little honey.

Here's the rest of the recipe starting dinner for day 1:

7-Day Juice Cleanse Day 1 Lunch

I've started with the Juice Cleanse yesterday. However, I've encountered some minor booboos along the way. Please bear with me. I'm only human after all...

7-Day Juice Cleanse Day 1 Breakfast

I've been eating pretty healthily for a long time now. Though I haven't shared here my latest food inventions (they're mostly on my personal facebook account - please like also my public facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thesexynomad), trust me when I say that I eat mostly vegetables these days. I seldom eat meat except for the occasional hotdogs when I am running out of fish or running out of time to cook anything decent but that's just once in a while, hehehe. 
 

But don't worry, I am reviving my food blog and I'll be posting here once again the dishes I make which are also perfect for people who are very busy like me but would like to know what quick healthy meals (and sometimes not-so-healthy... blame it on my cravings!) to prepare that can last a whole day. 
 

For now, I just want to start sharing here this 7-Day Juice Cleanse diet given to me by Quennie. She's the same friend of mine who invited me to join the 2-week International Youth Seminar and Meditation Retreat in Taiwan back in 2012 and now she's inviting me to come visit her resort once again, Natura Vista in Bohol, for a Raw Food Detox and Mindfulness Retreat this coming October 24. Unfortunately, my next visit to the Visayas region won't be until March next year. So I asked her if she could give me the recipes of the diet she's been using which transformed her from being sexy and fab to being super sexy and mega fab! And she gladly sent it to me. Thanks so much Quennie!!! And now I'm going to start sharing them with you.

Exotic Dive Resort Food Offering

I stayed at Exotic Dive Resort in Malapascua, Cebu from Dec. 1-5. It's the most high end resort in the area which I can tell through the quality of their food. I gained weight after that trip but it was all worth it. I just want to share here some photos of the food and drinks they made me eat. Although they offered a lot of international cuisine, you know me, I'd rather stick to the food I love to eat. Maybe next time, I should be more adventurous, huh? And next time, I should try to order for myself rather than ask my roommate to order for us. Teehee. Anyway, here they are:

Our Simple Noche Buena

We didn't visit our family or spent Christmas anywhere but home. It was just the two of us so we figured, there's really no need to prepare that much food. We only had four dishes plus a bottle of fruit wine. The food lasted for two days and we were both happy, which was what mattered the most. Anyway, we just want to share here the four simple dishes we had on Christmas Eve. We won't be sharing the recipes of our two favorites at this time (the pasta and the lamb chops) because they're very special and taste sooooo good that someday, we might be able to make a living out of it, who knows?! Do check out our video blog on Christmas Eve.

A Taste of Passion Restaurant @ Resorts World Manila

We got to taste some of the delightful Chinese dishes offered at Passion Restaurant located inside Resorts World Manila last Nov. 4, 2010.

We were there for the launch of Grand Fiesta Manila 2010 and the Grand Fiesta run 2010. We arrived quite late so we didn't get to taste the many dim sums and dumplings offered that evening. Here are the dishes we did get to try...

Brain Foods

I have just accepted a new job (in addition to what I already have) and I will need all the help I can get to stay focused and committed to all my work. Therefore, for the next several posts, I will be sharing with you some tips on the kinds of food that I will eat (and you should too) because they will help me become more healthy. Not only that, these foods will make me stay alert, better focused at my tasks, will boost my energy levels and help me maximize my overall brain power. So read on and enjoy this post...

Stay away from foods filled with sugar and white flour. These will only make you high for a very short while then your energy levels will go downhill from there.
