Scotty: A few questions to answer: Day 3&4

An apology... missed a day and working through being quite unwell. I don't think it had anything to do with detox but was a day I get every now and then...but I will watch and see if it stays like this:)

So Scotty and detoxing... no solid foods. As a group we have to spend Tue, Wed, Thur finishing Friday lunch. So the goal of this is to allow the body an opportunity to give major organs a break, but also to allow the body to detox it self of everything...

The sad thing for me is that I am losing a lot of this food through vomiting and diarrhea. I wonder how I'll be by the end of this.

Have to admit being here is interesting and the same time relaxing but with huge parts of the day where you don't do anything.

On a side note, we have the privilege of spending some time here with a group of Aboriginal ladies...12 in all, who are being empowered to go back to a more natural way of living. It is a fantastic experience to see these 12 ladies preparing to go back into their community to transform the way they eat. They are currently caught in a trap of high carbohydrate and sugar diet... sounds like we could also benefit...lol coming from me:)

My biggest takeaway points today were
Meal sizes...palm size meat, 2 handfuls of veges and a thumb size of oils...
Our food pyramid is upside down... carbs, breads and grains...little of those. Veges great, protein is important
No snacking, the body needs a rest...kids are different though at a early growing age...
Fruit, a handful a day is enough, because of the sugar it contains
Coconut oil is fantastic in a diet
A funny illustration was to keep the barcodes to a minimum... e.g fruits, veges, meats are good to eat, foods in tins and packets...
Foods we eat can affect the ph level in our bodies.

So below are some photos of a normal days food for Jo and I...it turns out they agree, with Jo's Father that she needs a bit of meat put on her bones. The below photos plus water and herbal teas are all we eat and consume...very different for me... going okay so far. Jo is a box of birds, loving what she is eating.
