Sadly, I am not able to finish my cleanse as my mother just passed away. I will revisit when I am done taking care of everything.
I will let you all know when I can do this again. And maybe some of you want to sign up and do it with me!! That would be fun, to do it with others.

Evening Time
All I can say is that I'm rather hungry and I cheated a little bit! Great! I ate half a roast potato and a tiny slice of chicken. I had made it for the kids I work with and I just couldn't resist taking a bite. But otherwise I am going strong. Drinking lots of peppermint tea and water.
I can eat salad, broth and steamed veggies for dinner. I shouldn't be too hungry.
Now I feel like my hunger is calmed down somewhat and I am actually looking forward to eating a big salad with sunflower sprouts and avocado. I am also going to have half a white sweet potato, so I am very excited to eat that, even without butter!

Dr Rau's Swiss Biological Medicine Cleanse
OK, well today I am starting his 7 day intensive cleanse. For breakfast I am allowed a cup of vegetable broth, which I just began sipping. It doesn't seem to taste of anything, but it has carrots, zuchinni, green beans and celery. Not allowed any salt, so it's rather plain. Also allowed 1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice, 1/2 cup quinoa porridge and herb tea. I am building up to the weekend when I do my liver cleanse. I have only done one before and I don't think it was quite as thorough as this one may be. Well assuming I make it till the end of the week!
Most of this diet is vegetables, so I am really hoping I am not going to be hungry, because I don't think I can take being super hungry. In his book it says that people are not generally hungry when they do this cleanse. So I will keep you all posted about how I am feeling.

Curried Coconut Kale Soup
This is one of my favorite recipes. I got my inspiration from "Willy the food Dabbler" who used to work at the Berkeley Whole Foods. He would always be demo-ing his recipes there. The original idea came from a recipe of his. I have changed it a little over time to make it mine.
It is a truly nourishing divine soup.

Kale is an amazingly nourishing vegetable. It has more absorbable calcium than milk. Kale is a great anti-cancer vegetable and it may help to regulate estrogen and fight off many forms of cancer, including breast, bowel, bladder, prostate and lung cancer.
