• i think this is a matter of personal opinion but i would say that you could live off of smoothies. your body would still get all the nutrients it needs if you keep a good variety coming. i do know that your digestive track will get used to the liqui…

• i've read that our body doesn't have the digestive enzymes to break down beans (that's why we get gas when we eat them!)

• I'm thinking I would have to eat 5 melons to actually feel full. I work out 2 hours a day, too, so maybe more melons that? If I did any melon, I'd do cantaloupe. I've been having a cantaloupe every day- they are so sweet and satisfying and go right …

• essene bread is hands up the best bread i've ever had in my life. it's really dense and decadent-tasting (kinda like pound cake). i've never made my own, but my friend from poland sent me over a few loaves. i don't eat it anymore because i cut out g…

• your smoothie will last all day. i've made them in the morning and then all of a sudden, i get in the mood for something else so i just leave the smoothie in the fridge until i want it. just blend it again before you drink it.
