Sorry, no pictures yet. I left my cell phone in my room [it’s charging]. But, yesterday was GREAT. I think my all-time favorite part was dancing to Pharrell’s HAPPY song. I’m transforming and all of the people around me are.
Let’s talk about the food….it’s delicious. I’ve gotten plates of food and it’s great. Vegan, plant-strong, low fat, no salt, no sugar, no oil – (yes, no oil – yes, not even coconut oil)
Breakfast: Oats, fruit, kale with a delicious salsa
Lunch: Nottingham spread sandwiches, salad, soup (yep, we get to eat ALL of it)
Cooking Demo: We made our own nori rolls – SUPER YUM!
Dinner: Beans and rice extravaganza
The hardest part about all of this is that there is no snacking. If you work with me or just know me, I’m ALWAYS snacking on something. (I’ve smuggled oranges out of the dining hall twice already). Another hard part about this experience is that I am so pissed off about western medicine. 8 months ago, I spent some time with a local naturopath and they told me to keep eating eggs and meat (if fact, she said I MUST eat one egg per day for the minerals). Well, there’s NO nutritional value in eggs – it clogs your arteries, people! I spent HUNDREDS of dollars on supplements, blood work, green drinks, etc. If you don’t believe me, there’s a few doctors here to back it up with scientific evidence. (watch Forks Over Knives, and watch it again if you’ve already seen it).
Other than that, life is good in Sedona! I can’t wait to tell you more about today….breakfast with Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and his spitfire wife Ann, hiking, yoga, and more yummy food.
