#OptimalU-Week 30 Recap
July 29, 2014
Hi Everyone!
I want to invite you to our July #OptimalU live event, which is happening tomorrow (Wednesday, taped replay) as Debbie and I will be recapping the first seven months of 2014. RSVP here. This past week I talked about cucumbers, eating raw vegetables at each meal rather than boiling, and NOOOO yogurt. Enjoy!
Day 1: I know many of you enjoy bananas (trust me, I read your diet journals), but I want to encourage you to try something different. My #OptimalU for today is on page 63 and says: Substitute a wedge of cucumber, a relative to the watermelon, for your potassium instead of a high-carbohydrate banana.
Day 2: Yogurt has become a staple for breakfast, but is on my unapproved food lists. My #OptimalU for today is on page 56, and suggests to read the label on your yogurt container. Sugar, HFCS, and even corn starch are added to satisfy people’s sweet addictions.
Day 3: TBT
Day 4, 5: Off
Day 6: Within the past few years, I have noticed some of our practice members eat too much fruit. Apples are the only fruit that I recommend you eat (1/2 red everyday), and my #OptimalU for today is on page 54 with the help of my friends at Swanson Health Products: Peel and dice fresh apples and simmer over medium heat. Add cinnamon, cloves, and enjoy a fresh applesauce treat!
Day 7: A few weeks ago I suggested steaming your vegetables versus boiling them, for today’s #OptimalU on page 126, I also recommend having raw vegetables with a meal since heat can destroy nutrients, while also giving your pancreas a breather.
