Baz rebooted!

As some of you know, I have been poorly for some months and my energy levels low. The Dr discovered I was low on iron and prescribed iron tablets, which have helped.

Despite this, I have still struggled with my energy which would just drop off a cliff unexpectedly.

So fed up with being fed up and ill I started thinking and looking for a solution.

I came across Joe Cross - he created the film - Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and the website www.jointhereboot.com

I started juicing 10 days ago in earnest and have not looked back. For 4 days I just had juices with 1 smoothie (nondairy) circa 4 times a day.

I continued on my trip to Canada and did have a juice or smoothie 2-3 times a day and on average one light veggie or fish/shelfish meal per day with a couple of exceptions.

The first two days I struggled with some hunger and light headaches, but after that, I've been on a high. Feeling great.

For an example - Today I have had:

Breakfast Juice:
spinach, celery, parsley, carrots

Lunch Smoothie:
Banana, frozen berries, spinach, cucumber, coconut water and ice.

I also made some Mushroom and Spinach soup -

In a pan of water add stock powder, chopped mushrooms, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of peeled garlic, 1 chopped courgette. Simmer till veggies soften.

In a high power blender, place 2 cups of spinach, some chopped coriander, handful of raw cashew nuts (optional) and 2 heaped teaspoons of milled chia seeds (can use whole ones too or leave out). Blend until smooth. Thin the soup down if too thick, add Braggs Aminos or soy sauce (wheat free ideally) to taste.

Chef'y touch - put in a bowl, sprinkle liberally with finely chopped coriander and then squeeze a few drops of lime juice and a few drips of hot sauce.

So - I'm nearly back to my old irritating self (fingers crossed). Just got to have some more blood tests and see Dr again. Whatever happens, I'm going to keep on juicing as it has made a huge difference to me.
