juicers (and Ice cream!)

[Guest guest]

Thanks Ali, I think I might see if I can track a

shop down that sells them, maybe have a chat with

someone who sells them.....there are just too many to

choose from on the web!<br>One other question, Mark has

decided to join me in a couple of 'raw only' days at the

end of the month. His fav. desert of all time is ice

cream, any ideas for a good recipie as I'd really like

to impress him!<br>Thanks again,<br>Love,<br>Dee

Go to " www.living-foods.com " . There is a recipe section with many amazing

deserts... as well as all other meals. There are a few for ice cream. Hope this

helps.

If you buy a champion juicer you can run frozen

bananas with other frozen fruit through it and it's

really close to ice cream in texture. I love

it.<br><br>Or you can use a food processor. When I do the food

processor I do need to add just a tiny bit of liquid

(water, juice) to get a smooth consistency like ice

cream. <br><br>It's quick and easy, eat it right

away.<br><br>Ali

Open your wings and show them how to fly.

Hi, I am interested in seeing what all your views

are on fasting? I've never been a big fan of it -

apart from the fact I almost die each time I try it...

*L* I mean from hunger - not physically. I've always

struggled with my weight, and seem to eat even more on the

few occasions I have tried this. I find if I have an

all-fruit day, then I feel that I could really fly. Its

the one part of the NH way that I really stick too. I

just love fruit or smoothies in the morning, it makes

the day so much easier. Some times I bomb out towards

the end of the day though. We don't have a lot of

variety in our fruit here at the moment, with it being

the middle of the winter, and the other stuff costs a

small fortune. I felt really mean having 'out of

season' fruit in the house, and then having to tell the

kids its just for me! We can't afford to buy enough of

it for the whole family, so its easier if we don't

get it. Hate telling the kids they can't have fruit!

One big plus in our household over the last 3/4

months, is I have stopped buying drinks for the kids, and

they now drink water all the time. They don't moan

about it any more and actually enjoy having it.

<br><br>Catch you's later on, would really like it if you all

did give me your thoughts on the fasting. Goodluck

and have a great day all. <br><br>Avis

Hi Avis, just to say I know EXACTLY what you mean

about the fruit.....a couple of punnets of strawberries

don't usually survive long in our house once the kids

find them!....even apples have a short kitchen life

here. I haven't a clue what the answer is but I've

considered taking the kids along to a 'PYO' (pick your

own...do you have them over there in the summer?) where is

should work out cheaper and they can 'eat as they

pick'!<br>As for this fasting thing....I'm not sure (I'm new

here too) By the end of the day I feel so weak and

irritable...especially with the kids if they complain they don't like

some thing I've painstakingly prepared for

dinner.<br>I should add I've got some weight to lose but I've

heard mixed reports on using fasting for weight loss.

One thing I'm sure of is that the people on this club

will know from first hand experience and are in a

great position to help.....er except me that

is!<br>Anyway, all the best...please send me all your best

weight-loss tips!<br>Dee.

I have had success when I followed a fast w/ a

low cal diet; otherwise, it can and has often

resulted in a weight gain. I refer to 5-7 day fasts. They

are good to give me a vacation or to get off of a

plateau. I have also had less trouble w/my weight when I

have fasted one day per week for a year or more. I

truly enjoy fasting w/fresh juices, both vegetable and

fruit.
