Juicing Challenge - Days 5-9

Juicing still going strong - but hubby caved, and had to eat something he could chew. ;-)

BUT - The one positive that has come out of this is my husband has now converted to a modified plant-based diet and that means plant-based (aka: vegan) with no oils, no refined flours or sugars. So now it is MUCH easier to cook around here! (Now, if we could just get the child to NOT love cheese and pick fruits and veggies over crackers and cheese sticks...life would be perfect! She is so resistant to anything without flour! We've tried everything to get her interested in fruits and veggies over processed stuff...ugh!)

We are both still juicing, but I am eating fruits and vegetables in addition to my juicing and my husband is now eating some grains, fruits and vegetables ...very simple things.

The important thing to take away from this is that we are not eating any junk food or processed foods anymore, vegan or not...so we are feeling so much better - better moods, better skin, better hair, more energy!!

Next week I start incorporating whole grain quinoa, rice, and other healthy grains back in my diet but in very small quantities - as well as some legumes.

Juice On!
