No Sugar No Fruit Cookbook + Yesterday's Food (Gabriel Cousens Day 7)

I've gotten a hang on this no sugar, no fruit raw lifestyle and have so many recipe ideas that I want to share. I want to be a little professional this time and release a cookbook with the very best recipes that I have created. Stay tuned as I will be releasing pictures of some of the dishes that I will create. In the meantime I plan to do more you tube videos and showcase the results of some other Rainbow Green recipes on this blog.

Today is day 7 of my new lifestyle of cutting out fruit and sugar. I'm actually doing fine. I was really tired the first day I started doing this but everything is great now. I eat vegetables, nuts, and seeds daily and make small desserts at times with stevia. I am enjoying this process and know it is temporary. I am going abroad in December for 2 months and will start phase 1.5 then and I think I will have done phase 1 long enough. The reason for the switch is due to the cold climate where to I am going and there will be less quality fresh foods available so I will have to rely partly on frozen berries and root vegetables. 

For those that are interested, here is what I ate yesterday.

- Kale Salad at lunchtime along with a sun-dried tomato cracker I made
- Cashews for snacking
- Coconut Flakes with Coconut Aminos (I have the Aminos rarely and there is less than a gram of sugar per teaspoon and I do not use that much).
- More cashews

This was not a typical day for me and I didn't explain my portions clearly but you get the gist of yesterday's food. Plus it was the day after the liver flush!

Garam Masala Gobi and Liver Flush (Gabriel Cousens Day 6)

Hello. First off the list of things to share is a great recipe I found in Dr. Cousens's Rainbow Cuisine book: Garam Masala Gobi. This is basically cauliflower tossed with a creamy garam masala sauce and dehydrated to warm it up. It was delicious! I found it to be great however eating too much at once may cause problems for some (cauliflower seems to cause problems for some if eaten in large quantity). I was fine though! Here is how it turned out:


Next I will discuss my fourth liver flush. I had 2 vegetable juices in the morning, then ate a bunch of coconut ice cream (with stevia of course) in the evening which made me really nauseous followed by the regular olive oil and grapefruit juice cocktail. Oh and epsom salts to go with that day as well as coffee enemas. I feel great today though and had no problems except for nausea after the ice cream and hopefully will heal myself of the ailments I have. Already, the dyshidrosis on my finger is going away and hopefully it will not return. The ringworm is also fading. I will keep you updated on my health breakthroughs!

Eggplant Casserole and Liver Flush #4 (Gabriel Cousens Day 5)

Here is a picture of an "Eggplant Casserole" I made a few days ago from the book Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine:

It was really delicious! I omitted the tomato sauce from the recipe as I only like sun dried tomatoes in dehydrated bread... Eggplant is a great meat substitute and tastes great raw when properly prepared.

Anyways, today is another liver flush day! I am following a mix of Dr. Kelley's and Hulda Clark's protocol for it so that I can eat some coconut ice cream (with stevia) in the evening. I only had some vegetable juices so far and I have to admit: I can't imagine doing a vegetable juice fast with NO fruit. Cousen's recommends vegetable juices with 80% celery or cucumber and 20% leafy greens. I guess you just have to get used to it... I may attempt a few days on this but will probably be bored quickly.

Hopefully I will get rid of candida from the coconut ice cream I will eat later today and cleanse my liver as well. I will be breaking my no sugar diet by drinking grapefruit juice with olive oil but it will not be much and the olive oil is really fatty so it will slow down the sugar absorption. Grapefruit juice is on the Phase 1.5 diet so I am fine :)

First YouTube Video (Kale Salad)

I just made a YouTube video of the kale salad I make almost every day. It is in Russian but I added English subtitles:


Hope you enjoy it!

Classic Neatballs with Sour Cream Sauce (Gabriel Cousens Phase I Day 3)

Oh wow was I tired yesterday. I think it must have been the sugar detox. I barely managed to take a walk that is usually super easy for me around where I live. I feel pretty good but I am still not digesting food as well after the fast so I need to take it slowly and take digestive enzymes with my food. Otherwise I love the food I am making and the recipes I found in Cousen's book are great. Here is how the neatballs came out with the sour cream sauce (made from almonds which turned out delicious!):


I need to drink more water because I need to balance out the food with water as well as because my diet is fairly low-carb and my body is losing water as a result. I want to do a liver flush this week followed by a few days of vegetable juice fasting. We will see how this goes!

I found an updated version of the foods I can eat now here: http://tolcus.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/3+-+Green+Phase+and+Juice+Charts+3-291.pdf

It turns out that some foods I thought were not allowed due to the book's chart are actually OK in the updated version (like ACV for example).
