A mini juice fast and some major decluttering
By Neven Jones in ThoughtsYesterday I decided to do a one day juice/blended food fast to give my body a break. I have been eating a lot of salt lately, mainly in the form of miso. In just 6 days I had 6 bowls of miso soup, I love the flavor of miso, but that’s way too much salt [...]

Day 27 100% raw: Dealing with emotions

I was cutting up my son’s chicken and all of a sudden it didn’t look like food anymore too me, it looked like chunks of flesh. I had a hard time looking at it and cutting it.
