Roots

The first 4 days were horrible of my detox.  Not that I felt bad but all I could have were veggies.  Day 5 was the start of adding grains back into my diet and I could not wait especially as rice was on Day 7.  But I made it through and learned I definitely did not like millet, buckwheat and even rice did not taste good to me.

when I saw my doctor after that, he informed me that my body was probably rejecting grains at the moment so I should focus on eating roots with my veggies.

Do you know what roots are?  I did not know what he meant.  Come to find out they are just potatoes, yams, carrots.  I could do that.

Since then I have learned the many ways of cooking a veggie and a root--steam, saute, bake and yum--they are good. 

So fast forward to 3 months later and lots of vitamins later.  I'm eating grains again and surprisingly I LOVE Veggies!  Sometimes they are the center of my dinner. 

So going forward I hope to share the pros and cons of recipes and shopping items and just the process, because I definitely thinks its important to trade ideas with each other.   So look for more to come!

PS I still don't like buckwheat in any form including flour. yuck!
