am: water and probiotic supplement
green smoothie

* a note on the green smoothie. I have been playing around with recipes and find that today I like:

green lettuce
spinach
2 stalks of celery
1/2 cup or so of cilantro
juice of 1/2 lime
1 ripe banana
2 large apples

noon: large green salad with sprouts, cucumbers, red onions, 1 tbs of ground flaxseed, shredded green cabbage
dressing: cilantro, lime juice, ginger, olive oil.

Going Vegan

It's not always easy drastically changing a diet, but I am giving it a shot. I have completely eliminated all dairy, meat, eggs and general fat. It has been 5 weeks now, and I am feeling pretty good. I am eating this way for my health and hoping to find more energy. I was diagnosed September, 2010 with MS and after a year of processing that devastating news I have decided to try to take a proactive approach with my diet. The Dr's and researchers suggest that diet doesn't make a difference and that taking MS medications is the way to go. I am not sure that I buy that. Drug companies have huge funding benefits in promoting their drugs and there simply isn't a huge financial incentive for changing a person's eating habits.

Les Frites is my daily journal in this process.
