I know, it's about 5 weeks since my last entry...Alhamdullillah, I am in good health.
Just needed a short break. Not because of so much work or outdoor activities but changing into a
healthier living. I had an infection that I need to control my diet. Only with good eating habits will definitely cure in no time. I was traumatised at the beginning but as I read and understood the whole situation and was under controlled. During those times, I learnt about diet food for body nourishing and cleansing.
Yes, initially it was difficult *to normal people it seems to be weird* skipping Carbohydrates and sugar in your diet, but I discovered what good it had done to our body to be free of sugar. Can you imagine, me, NO coffee for more than 3 weeks already? I stopped cold turkey. And intend to make coffee as a social drink, Lol.
Our dinner tonight, Hb and me.
First of all, you have to have the right mindset before starting what you plan. Have peace with your mind, that you have to do. Kalau ikut kan memang tak tahan, ...craving for the food you normally had. Nothing in the world worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain and difficulty.
The beginning agak terseksa yang teramat as sugar and carbohydrates as we all know gives us energy.. memang pun. Never thought of giving up but the whole body was downed. But Alhamdullillah, I still managed the next day and so on and liking the recipes I browsed in the net.
Completely NO sugar for more than 20 days and eating only greens with little protein for almost two weeks. And let loose for one day *not sugar* and carry on the programme. It was a good experience.
Eating out...I chose Salad, but skipped the tortillas and sauce
Lots of vegetables
Finding the right path or back to basic *kesedaran dan kembali ke pangkal jalan*..wow, sounded serious tuu! The person who loves baking and so dedicated as in the gastronomy world has mellow a lot these days. *I did not say I am deleting all good food out of my list and siapa kata tak boleh makan, only less carbohyrates and sugar. And do the cleansing followed by eating lots of greens. Making changes for myself for the healthy living. But that does not stop me from cooking what my family loves. I still cook as usual except for my own menu which is Carbohyrates and sugar free. Also introducing them slowly the kind of food I take. I think everyone should detoxify their body once in while.
And it's wonderful to know that lots of friends through instagram has started with the cleansing especially the healthy green juice...GGS *The Glowing Green Smoothies*
Well, I hope I would be more 'peka' this time, when overeating do the cleansing AND to carry on having my greens in every meal. The love of Food is still in me..the colours and presentations are my main concerned and of course tasty as well.
Peeps, there are plenty of nice healthy menus in the net you can choose. I am beginning to love my greens.

1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped
½ head of large bunch or ¾ of small bunch organic spinach
