They spend far an excessive amount of on the “why” as a substitute of the “how” and this e book is the right mixture of each.

Notes I took on my cellphone whereas studying:

– Large salads with a lot of uncooked veggies – give attention to kale and broccoli

– Smoothies with diversified substances

– Water with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, cayenne, and lemon within the am

– Meals with excessive chlorophyll content material: chard, kale, spirulina, chlorella

– Make train sporadic and enjoyable; really problem your self

– Discover a higher water supply. We have now reverse osmosis right here on the home, however it hasn’t been serviced for the reason that first time we lived right here. So we haven’t been utilizing it. I’ve been filling the big water jugs from Complete Meals. Although I’m looking for a greater choice (glass bottles, an important filter like Berkey, or perhaps a supply service). You probably have any concepts, please let me know!

As a non-vegan who loves vegan meals, I’m enthusiastic about attempting a number of the new recipes in Superlife. They’re all vibrantly coloured and full of veggies.
