04/04/2006: "A Veggie Diet - Mmmmm"

If you read my post titled, The Sacred Cow, you know that I have given up meat of any kind. As per the same post, I also gave up dairy products. So that pretty much made me a Vegan. My reading also uncovered that cancer tumors love sugar. They steal any sugar or sugar substitute that enters the body. They can even trick the body into producing and reserving sugar just for themselves. As a matter of fact, that is how a PET scan works. They inject you with a sugar solution and you lay still for about 45 minutes. Then they place you in the scan and check your whole body for metabolic activity. The cancers cells are jamming away on the sugar so they light up.

So, that means I wasn’t eating any animal fats, dairy fats, or sugars of any kind. (Can you say “No fun!”?) Also cancer takes energy and mass from body fat and muscles. Consequently what used to be my 160lb. body just weighed in at 146lbs. I have been eating multiple meals and seeking calories wherever I can. Unfortunately large amounts of calories are tough to find in fruits, vegetables and beans. So yesterday I decided to start eating dairy. I will start with cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese. Allowing cheese in also opens up a lot more recipes and restaurants. I have also decided to eat more fish (hoping to avoid heavy metals).

Every book and article I have read on diet and cancer strongly recommends going vegetarian. They also recommend eating as much raw vegetables as possible. Since my system is sensitive to toxins, I am also making sure they are organic. You are thinking, “Sure a little broccoli floret dipped in some Ranch dressing now and then is pretty good.” Ever ate a whole raw bunch in one sitting? Mmmm good!

One great way to get raw vegetables into your system is Juicing. I bought a juicer and have been drinking about a glass or two a day of raw juice. The best one for you is made of beets, carrots, kale, celery and some parsley. There are books that recommend a complete detox cleanse by going on a juice fast for 10 days. I have read several cases where people have cured themselves of various ailment using juice fasts.

Got to go juice. (I never have liked beets.)

There are a lot of the people at my gym that eat, or try to eat the way you are talking about. All of them swear by Living Fuel. Here is the link. Check it out yourself. It is green, raw and organic! Maybe not much more fun, but sounds like a match to me!

I have a couple of health nut friends who swear by Juicing. I must say that most of the fresh juices I've tried taste great (even when you add carrots). I must admit I haven't tried one with beets and kale.
