I just came back from Canoa Wellness Center, near our SDA Hospital, and school in Montemorelos, which is in Monterey, Mexico. What a place of miracles. I lost another 22 pounds. But let me tell you now why I am writing this. Richard mentioned recipes......I would love to share many of my healthy eating habits. I would like to start on the menu I had at Canoa. You want to lose weight, this will do it. Only two meals per day but a lot of it Hans Diehl would say and still lose weight....
Breakfast: Large bowl of only one kind of fruit, 2 or 3 apples, or watermelon, or papaya, or grapes, or pears, or cantelope. (If you are not over weight a wonderful whole grain bowl of cooked cereal and whole grain toast with Almond butter.)
Herb teas and at least 8 glasses of water per day but not at meals.
Lunch: three different portions of vegies, such as chopped broccoli and cauliflower, mixed with a salad dressing.
CHEESE SAUCE
Blend Well:
1 cup rinsed cashews 1 cup water
2 T. Tahini 3 T. yeast flakes
2 tsp. onion powder Salt to taste
2 T lemon juice
You can stuff cucumbers with the chopped broccoli and cauliflower and cheese sauce also.
Another delicious raw vegie dish is
2 grated carrots 1 cup grated jicama
½ cup walnuts 3/4 cup raisins
FAVORITE DRESSING FOR SALADS
A wonderful dressing for any salad:
1 avocado Juice of one lemon 1 clove garlic Cilantro opt.
1 small tomato ½ green pepper
½ box Mori-Nu tofu Salt to taste
Red and white cabbage chopped like cole slaw. Use a tomato, cilantro and celery blended as a dressing.
Steam small zuchinis, clean out the inside and stuff with br. rice and raw vegies, Ad the cheese sauce on top. BAKE TILL WARM
