I’ve been on various fasts, the caffeine would be my challenge. I only drink two espresso in the a.m. with organic milk. Then it’s water. But, I’ll be curious at your end to see how you fare. I have a few recipes such as broccoli soup, carrot soup, bean soup that can be easily modified to fit in. But, oh my eggs are my staple. That would be hard. I, too, was impacted by the movie, Food, Inc.

Joy-Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I’ll be very interested to hear what you find out about food practices in Canada. My suspicion is that in terms of “industrialized food” it’s not much different, but I’d like to know.

Thanks for posting about this, Kristina! Due to my on-going health issues, I really would love to try a cleanse and see if it would help. And yes, I need to lose weight, too. Right now, I’m just eating more veggies and less meat, but it would be a good change, if not a challenge, to try what you are doing. I’m looking forward to your progress with this.

I watched Food Inc. and I must say it was enlightening, albeit horrifying, to see the practices in the food industry in North America. I grew up in the Philippines, and for most of my life there (at least in my family), we knew where are food came from, how it was raised (animal or plant), and how it was harvested for our consumption. I didn’t assume otherwise when we moved here. I’m actually interested to do some research on the food practices here in Canada and see if they are any better than in the US. I’m just hoping not to be heartbroken by bad stories.

Thanks! Good luck with your own diet. Homemade yogurt sound delicious. You can see what else I’ve been eating if you look at the Cleanse Week 1 page.

I will be following this! I just started my own revised diet, based on much of the same principles.
Homemade yogurt was my first task and it was a success.
Last night, I made black bean soup. So my eyes lit up when I saw your Black Bean Soup with Avocada Salsa post in my inbox today. I feel like we are on the same wavelength, so I’ll definitely check back in to see what recipes I can borrow from you.

Thanks for sharing.

Sara-I’m wondering how I’m going to feel once I’m done with the 21 days and if I’ll go back to all my old habits. I’m a little wary of coffee now, though at times I still crave a cup more for the ritual and the taste (light and sweet) than the caffeine. I may start with decaf.
