Dr. Fuhrman's EAT TO LIVE - a life saving book!!

Well, I did not buy this book for loosing weight! I bought it for my parents. They are not fat at all but they take a lot of meds where I am sure they could at least minimise them with more vegetables, especially raw vegetables - and NO coffee, cakes, meat, pasta and white bread. I just wanted to have more arguments ;-) So, yesterday it arrived! When I started to read (and Im still reading) Fuhrmans words I thougth: hey, this is e x a c t l y what I live!!! Just in the oil-point I dont agree with him. Our brain needs fat! Our organism needs fat as well to get all the nutritions out of the veggies. Anyway, I am not able to eat megabig portions of salad or other raw veggies - so I need oil the get enough calories, otherwise I would get to skinny.
As well I can say that this book is really made for the burger-fries-donat-cookies-eating american who lost all ideas about what the meaning of food could be.
So this book is written for another planet! But - and here this book is so amazingly important and LIFE SAVING for everybody who is suffering from several deseases or wants to prevent them: Fuhrman explains so simple and wonderful the connection between heart-deseases, diabetes etc., the development of cancer and FOOD!!
My parents are living in germany, Berlin so I write them mails and call them several times to tell them the message and I congure them to give this way of eating a try for about 4 weeks.
I actually tryed already before reading Fuhrman's book to make them eating healthier. There is hope that they are open - because since some weeks they have a green smoothie every morning. This is a good base, a good start for more.
And now I have even better arguments and examples! :-)
Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!!

Lin seeds with avocado and banana

okay, its really not a very pretty meal ;-) I put it here already once, but more like a dessert.
This time I put much more lin seeds like 50 grams in the food-processor, added 2 bananas, 1 avocado and lots of lemon juice and some verveine leaves. Its a perfect dish for two persons on a lazy day. I unfortunately had no berries to make it more pretty ;-)

Green Smoothie

Like every day: a biig green smoothie! This time with broccoli leaves, spinace, coriander, 2 bananas, 1 apple, juice of half a lemon, water..... :-)
And you know what?? I dont have a VITAMIX.......!! My blender was around 80 Euro. He is just doing a fine work and he is even not so loud! His name is: Philips HR2096/00 Avance (with very smart blades!!! - I rarely need the tamper). Probably he wont get the age like a Vitamix - but shall I wait to drink Smoothies till I can/want to efford him? I think this would be pretty stupid.

day off.....

Today we were strolling through Marseille for hours and suddenly I had such a desire for junk!
So I had alltogether an onion quiche, a baguette with Merguez, two beer, after a cake (unfortunately a bad one) and two coffee.
And believe it or not: I enjoyed it! Or better, we enjoyed it. Franck had the same. And apart of the cake everthing was just great. I actually dont like white bread at all - today I loved it. But half an hour later I got the bill (of course...) - I just felt weird around my stomac and my head...
Day off makes fun - and shows you again what your body really likes: healthy food - and no junk.
For dinner we made raw noodles with raw tomatosauce to be nice to our bodies again ;-)
