After trying (and failing to release much excess weight on the Bone Broth Diet), I switched to eating only citrus fruits for 7 days. (Thanks to reading an email from raw vegan health coach, Life Regenerator, Dan McDonald!)
I ate only grapefruit, oranges, and tangerines for 7 days, and drank water with limes and lemons, along with one or two cups of herb tea each day. And what were my results?
Raw fruit: Florida grapefruit, Florida orange, and Cuties tangerines
I released 6 pounds! The easiest weight loss I have experienced in a long time.
As for the mindset shift, I believe once you make up your mind to do something (like lose weight), you will focus on it to breathe, eat, and sleep your goal! Haha! Yes, and you will find ways to make it fun!
Now, here’s the best part – my BRAIN functioned better, plus I saw and felt differences in my skin!
Less moody
More clarity
Got more stuff done
Felt a renewed sense of purpose
Felt motivated
Moles dried up and fell off my body
Face cleared up
Felt more vitality
Overall now, I really feel aWEsOMe and vibrant! And I want to continue eating this way!
Fruit bowl. My meal of raw grapefruit, orange, and tangerines (and Puradyme digestive enzymes).
I don’t know how long I will continue, but as I begin to add in things like raw vegetables (first, celery and avocado with Mrs. Dash as a seasoning, and later, salads with no dressing), I will document what happens and post it here.
I'm the author of the book, "Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life”, as well as two blogs. I write about holistic health and wellness, and spiritual topics. My intention is to share what I have learned and integrated into my daily life to help uplift and lighten others. Everyone can live a balanced, soul-aligned, and wholly vibrant life!
I am all about Holism (think wholesome and holistic health). I'm into Breathwork (having naturally healed the body in inhabit of asthma in 2005 and healed various other ailments with Pranayama). I am into Meditation and Personal Awakening & Transformation. I believe Social Change will come about the more we embrace the mantra, We Are All Connected, and work actively to Connect with others one-by-one.
I am a vibrant spiritual being living a Soul-connected earthly experience.
My mantras:
Align with Spirit in ALL ways.
Go with your "God bumps" flow to FEEL your Soul-alignment ALL the time.
We Are All Connected.
Everything Resolves to Gratitude.
Life's an Art. So, I do the following and encourage others to:
Study at your Passion.
Gather knowledge.
Pray.
Meditate.
When upset, breathe from heart-center and embrace Balance.
Always balancing. Always integrating.
Then, Take It Upon Yourself to walk your talk, practice what you preach, and integrate all you learn into your day-to-day, so you joyfully express Omni-everything!
Life's an ADVENTURE! Now, go have FUN!
Disclaimer: I'm an Information Technology professional (of 30+ years). Most of my work deals with data and documentation management on large-scale relational database application software and systems. I've been working remote, from home, for nearly 5 years.
I am NOT a doctor or health practitioner, though I confer with natural and holistic health professionals as a writer and emcee at health festivals and events.
I encourage folks to FIRST seek natural and holistic health remedies when they begin to notice any irregularity in their mind or body. I believe multiple opinions offer us the most hope and support when challenged with any health issue.
I support you in your quest to find holistic, alternative, licensed, professional health and wellness providers.
I am a meditator, eat (and fast) on a mostly plant-based diet, more tree hugger than consumer, advocate of simple and minimalist living, and grandmother of three fantastic granddaughters (who live far from me, but with whom I video chat with weekly and visit in person whenever possible). Prior to 8/2021 my husband and I lived in an RV full-time for 11 years, the last 17 months of which, were Off-Grid.
To our better health! Amen. Namaste. OM
