I have started adding 3g of Flax oil to my daily juice. Oh, and I started adding some spinach too. I added the flax to up my Omega-3′s some more, and since my juice is cold I saw it as a prefect item to add the flax oil to since flax oil (and PUFAs in general I believe) are heat sensitive. Start heating these fats up and they become substances you don’t want to put in your body. I suppose I still have some mini raw voice still in my head even though I am eating mostly cooked. The spinach is for the potassium – which is the one mineral I really struggle with. I don’t have problems getting my RDA of anything else except potassium, so I am on the look out for new K+ options. Spinach has a lot of potassium per calorie, so it is my latest K+ fix.
So, my daily juice recipe looks like this:
Carrot Green Juice (serves me)
500g Organic Carrots
45-50g Kale
45 -50g Spinach
45-50g Parsely
1/2 Lemon
3g Flax oil
Stevia to taste
I simply juice the carrots and greens, and pour the juice into a large jar. Then I add the stevia, oil, and ice. Shake shake shake. Add straw – for what ever reason I think things taste better through a straw. Seriously. I don’t understand it, but I just don’t enjoy what-ever-it-is as much as if I was slurping it though a straw.
Anyway, the days comprising of my last shift up to today ended up averaging into the 1500′s. Sigh. Snitching QBs food was what did me in. Weight has been stable though, and my guts are behaving like never before. So, at least I have that going for me. However, the calories are just under my basal metabolic rate, which is too high. Tomorrow, I am planning on getting that number down, and since I had someone request a meal plan, I suppose I might as well post what I am going to eat tomorrow – I have to add some recipes, so I will link each item to the recipe as I finish the related post.
This is not only what I am eating tomorrow, but will also be what I will be eating though my next work week that starts Wednesday. Hopefully I can keep my snitching fingers away from QBs food so that this will be *all* I eat. I am getting into a bad habit of snitching his food. Bad bad.
