Day 112

Thoughts: I broke the Earth Diet. It happened on the plane from Australia to LA...and right after I wrote this below...uneditted...fresh and raw...demonstrating a human being dealing with being a human being! And if your not going to read the entire blog...then don't read any of it. To get this blog, it needs to be read the whole way through, you will see what I mean ;) Hehe enjoy ;)

"Whenever I feel like crap, or trapped, or small, contricted or stuck I know I have stuff to cough up. There is a big fat bunch of a dark cloud of negativity whirling around my space. I like to write to get it out. And it scares the H outta me to share this online with everyone. I can't believe what I just did. I BROKE THE EARTH DIET! Yes I did. And it happened so quick. And then it was done, and I was thinking whoaaaaa! I have been on the Earth Diet for 111 days now, eating only foods naturally provided to us from the earth, no processed foods, no foods with additives, chemicals, artifical sugars, no sugar, no takeaway for 111 days and just then I broke it. I said I would do it for 365 days. Now I'm feeling really crappy and making myself wrong and what a waste and bla bla and now my face and body is going to be puffy and bla bla (yes this little voice loves to express itself! Hehe) I ate a vegetarian lasagne thing on my V Australia flight from Brisbane to LA right now. What I got was that it wasn't me Liana fully self expressed eating it, it was like a machine took over, an indentity and it justified "Yep, see you ca't do it stupid. See your not in control, I will just never be able to do anything, you are a failure, you are always fat and ugly and puffy and always will be, and you should just accept that, accept that you can't have everything in your life". Yep totally disempowering wise words from the little voice, hehe! Yes it's a good thing that I know that little voice is not me, it's not who I am and I can separate myself from it! To make that voice wrong and resist it would be crazy, because it is a part of me, afterall I did create it, no one put it there and said here have this crazy little fat voice hahaaa! I take full responsibility for it. For so long I wondered why I had such a destructive voice in my head that kept me fom having the health and fitness and body I wanted, I would be like "why me?" (victim) and I was annoyed at why I had it...until I got that it wasn't me me. It's machinary, an indentity, something I created when I was younger, it is the same machinary that had me binge for 5 years. So now that I got all that out I am creating an empowering context, this will build me up again, as I feel like a part of me was stripped away because I gave my word, myself, that I would do the Earth Diet for 365 days! By restoring my integrity my machinary will lose power.

Yes I am disapointed in myself for allowing my machinary come in and take over in a split second and absolutely gorge down a piece of lasagne that tasted like mush chemicals anyways - and I am ashamed to admit it to you guys - I could have easily not have told you, and continued on the Earth Diet pretending it never happened. And that would not be real, and I would be lying to myself, and I want nothing to hide. And I needed to have this happen because I see how the machinary is there, and how strong it is, and how If I am not aware and present it comes in and takes over. And I could have controlled it at any time, I have the power over my machinary, and I gave in, and I am so not committed to having the "it" run my life or machinary or ego or unconsciousness or devil or whatever word you want to use. But you get what I am trying to say right...you know that feeling of just not being yourself? Like a heaviness affecting your mood, and you being happy and joyous and fully self expressed. It's that thing that it operating you instead at that point, which is what I am talking about. So I get that I have the power to change it in every moment because life is NOW and NOW and NOW and NOW. That's a lot of NOW'S to be able to change the way I am being. And yes I was trapped in a bingeing addiction for 5 years and that's a lot of NOW's to suffer in. Yuk. And I am so not committed to suffering any more!

(bang the little voice just came in in full force, my neighbour on the plane just got served her food, roast lamb with gravy and potatoes and brocoli and carrot "I should have had that, at least I could have just eaten the vegetables and then I wouldn't have broken the Earth Diet, damn I was so stupid, and it looks so good, I should have asked instead of having the stupid vegetarian meal, I really screwed up". And I feel sad while the voice is talking - then I remember - aha there is the voice and here I am, separate from it! And just by rememebering I break away from it and it loses power. AND by the way this is the same little voice saying I'm stupid for eating what I just ate and it's the one that made me eat it! hahaaaa crazy or what! That is insanity!)

I have noticed how this Earth Diet has completely transformed my body and health and energy and that little voice has lost some of it's power, but it's still there. And I really created the Earth Diet to get rid of the voice because I couldn't stand it any longer! The voice that created a binge addiction, he voice that made me feel like a fat blob for so long, and I thought by changing the outside, by changing the food I put in my mouth, it would change the inside, the voice, but it's still there. And it doesn't go away. And the good thing is we get to hang up on it whenever we don't want to listen to it. Why do we listen to it anyways when it is just so damn destrutive and negative. Why do we give something that negative any power and recognition?

And now I'm getting that everything does come from within, and that I can change the outside stuff, but if I haven't changed the inside then it will always remain the same. I will be thinking the same stuff doing differen things. But don't use that as an excuse and say "Oh well I won't do the Earth Diet until I change the inside stuff" because you won't change it! It took me to actually DO the Earth Diet first to get all of this. And now this is the next step in me actually transforming the inside.

Currently I know I have more thoughts of "I'm fat, I need to do ab crunches, I'm too bloated, I can't do it, I'm not good enough" than "I'm awesome and I'm sexy and I am whole perfect and complete, I love and accept my body fully". Which do you have more of? I can tell you that the majority of human beings think the first one. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. I used to think I was crazy special and was the only one thinking this stuff until I started opening up and sharing with other people who said "I think that too!". This is what I am out to create, on a global scale. To completely transform peoples thinking in this way, to transform and reduce eating disorders, self doubt, self bodily harm, and thoughts that diminish a human beings existence on this planet and experience of being alive! - because if it's not that, it's an uneccessary waste, a boring existence. When I watched that teenage boy die in India I wondered, did he ever experience love? and actualy experience feeling alive? and being fully self expressed? And did he do all the things he dreamnt of? And did he leave the impact he wanted on the planet? I wondered how many people would even know he died.

And to do all this, first I need to transform myself. Because if I can't even change my suffering disempowering conversations aroud myself and my body, how will I create the space for others to? How will I inspire and empower others to do so? I won't be able to. People will see me as fake and underneath will smell something fishy. And that's my promise and love for other people to transform their suffering around themselves and their body to love and nuture themselves. Which is what I am doing, for you guys, for all of humanity, especially for all young girls and boys who grow up in school frightened to really speak what's in their minds, and who develop eating disorders and suffer, for the young people who cut themselves because that' how they let out their emotions. Sheeshh the least I can do is be open and authentic and real. I AM NOT OK with the internal suffering going on in human beings all over the planet. Every 40 seconds someone in the world commits suicide. Because the voice in their head tells them to, and they do it. EVERY 40 SECONDS. Like one suicide NOW. And here I am being a jerk and whining about eating a piece of lasagne on the plane!

So here's my empowering context...I am committed to you and the other 6.9999999 billion people on the planet to being free and alive and healthy. And this means "getting off me" - and that's a relief by the way- because I become so self induldgent after I ate that lasagne with all the thoughts pilling in (yuk how boring!)and then I forget about the rest of the people, you, it's like no one else exists and I'm so caught up in my own little world it's disgusting! I am committing to and declaring to YOU, to the whole internet world to be free around food and what I eat and who I am, to stick to the Earth Diet and only eat foods naturally provided by this amazing amazing amazing earth for the rest of this challenge and always thinking "I am hott, sexy, beautiful and I am an abundance of health, and completely and fully accept and choose myself and my body and all that I do is in allign with this. I choose my body. I love me."

(ANOTHER SUICIDE JUST HAPPENED)

Loving my body means loving thoughts.

I take full responsibility for the eating disorders around the world. I took part in an eating disorder for 5 years eating crap food and then extreme healthy food, I actually actually kept it around the planet, keeping it in place. Screw that. I'm sorry guys for being such a self absorbed binge junkie jerk for sooo long! I am completely transforming that! I am committed to health on the planet. No longer around my space is the crap. When I fully embrace myself, accept and choose and love myself and be a full self expression, then I will give other people the space and freedom to do that also!!! I am transforming myself for you, this is more inspiring to me then just doing it for me.

So to recap I will always and only say this to myself and think this whenever something other than that comes into my space, I will knock anything negative right out because it doesn't serve me, it's not worth having!!! And if it really is as simple as choosing to get rid of it or keeping it around, heck I choose to kick it out and replace it with the new, "I am hott, sexy, beautiful and I am an abundance of health, and completely and fully accept and choose myself and my body and all that I do is in allign with this. I choose my body. I love me."

And I have to acknowledge you out there for getting this - and I want to ackowledge Rick Cowley, an extraordinary human being and friend of mine who requested I do this, not just for me, but for the millions of other girls out there, including his young daughter, to be a stand and be free and be able to talk freely and openly about it with other women around the world. And not just women, but men too. And I want to acknowledge Rick's daughter for being so great with whom Rick loves unconditionally to request such a thing from me. So Rick on behalf of people around the world...THANKYOU.

So now everytime you have a disempowering conversation with yourself in your head think of me in your head saying "You are whole, perfect, and complete!!! Just the way you are. Nothing is wrong right now...or now...or now. Life is NOW! This is it! You could literally die in a few hours?!!!" Hehe!

I'm so glad I ate that lasagne now! I fully choose it! Without it I wouldn't have gotten this breakthrough to be able to share with you guys. (Haha the voice just came in then "Oh F but I really ate the lasagne, I can already feel my face is puffy and stomach bloated and I'm all itchy" hehe and I quickly replaced it with "I am hott, sexy, beautiful and I am an abundance of health, and completely and fully accept and choose myself and my body and all that I do is in allign with this. I choose my body. I love me."

So wow there you go, my longest blog yet, I may have just made myself look like a complete fool, and it doesn' matter. Peace out.

Thoughts: Australian model Prudence Coffey chats her thoughts on the Earth Diet and food "hang-overs"...

"I was lucky enough to meet Liana when Leila Sweeney invited me to the Gold Coast for her new clothing brand – Lass – photo shoot. We posed together and had a lot of fun for half a day, and after those mere 5 hours Liana had changed my eating habits...and NO ONE could change my eating – not my parents, my friends or even the doctor! I used to eat at least a big packet of corn chips a day and going without my faithful food always put me in a bad mood and made me pretty bad company! After talking to Liana about what her goals were and what she had achieved so far inspired me to give her diet a go. It is important to remember that this isn’t so much as a ‘diet’.. it is a change in lifestyle that is only for the better. She is such an amazing girl, so positive and inspiring and I wanted to have the attitude she has so I opened my mind to her new way of life. I am the sort of girl that looks at the people whose entire diet is made up of natural and organic foods and thinks that i could never have the patience or commitment to make meals like that every day for every meal. So I decided to start small....eating fruits and vegies for snacks instead of chips and biscuits. I have to admit, I haven’t gone as far as organic and natural foods, I am eating alot of youghurt, strawberries, grapes and avocados and my faviourite.. CAPSICUM!!! These are all bought from Woolies, and although they may not be the organic foods that Liana has commited herself to, I am already seeing a MASSIVE difference in my body and attitude to life. No longer am i experiencing ‘food hang-overs’ or bad skin.. that is the biggest difference i have noticed actually.. my skin is radiant now! I have much more energy and confidence in myself.. just from changing my snacking foods! I am slowly weening myself onto changing my main meals, because i think it would be too easy to give up something that i took on all at once. I think that this diet isn’t just about changing your eating habits, but in a whole, it is about changing your life. The foods involved in the earth diet may be a bit more expensive than cheap and easy food but i am finding they fill me up on smaller quantites that junk food and you can use the foods as a base for a heaps of meals.. so over all these foods are filling me up much faster, they are going further in my meals and my attitudes towards life have changed.. its a win-win situation : ) I think everyone out there should give it ago, and if you are like me, just start small.. even spend a few days hyping youself up to the change.. plan ahead and most importantly.. stay faithful! It will be the best thing you have ever done, and i know as a fact, i will never look back." Prudence Coffey Australian model.

Challenges: I'm in LA and there is food food everywhere...so much...so many varietys...I just want to eat eat eat...everything pizza, and pasta and chocolate chips cookies. I walked past my favourite vegan chocolate chip cookies tonight in Wholefoods and squenched at walking past and not buying one. mmmm i would love to have that soft sweet thick cookie in my mouth, and it's not inside my committment to loving and nuturing my body for 365 days on only foods naturally provided to us, so yeop I walked right by.

Day 114

The Hemp Seed Protein - Superior Plant Protein

Thoughts: My Earth friend Elisha reccomended that I try Hemp seeds in my food. Tonight I had them on my avocado and last night on my salad!

Hemp(from Old English hænep) is the name of the soft, durable fiber that is cultivated from plants of the Cannabis genus, cultivated for industrial and commercial (non-drug) use.

In modern times, industrial hemp has been used for industrial purposes including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food, and fuel, with modest commercial success.In the past three years, commercial success of hemp food products has grown considerably.

Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. The seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, sprouted, made into hemp milk (akin to soy milk), prepared as tea, and used in baking. The fresh leaves can also be eaten in salads. Products range from cereals to frozen waffles, hemp tofu to nut butters.

Hemp oil has been shown to relieve the symptoms of eczema (atopic dermatitis).

Hemp Seed contains a large dietary supplement of omega-3, higher even than walnuts which contain 6.3% of n-3. These oils are known to improve memory and strengthen brain cells.

Hemp oil has anti-inflammatory properties.

The Hemp Seed contains more than 22% COMPLETE PROTEINS, which is highly digestible due to its globulin form, as edestin and albumin. Edestin is a superior type of plant protein, similar to protein found in the human body, and perfectly suited to the body's cellular needs. Hemp contains the highest percentage of globulin protein found in any plant. It is important to note that protein can become denatured if heated above 115� C (239� F) for more than a few minutes, making it insoluble and less digestible.

Edestin proteins are forerunners to hormones, haemoglobin (which transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood), enzymes (which control many biochemical reactions), and antibodies (which fight off invading bacteria, viruses and toxins). Edestin also assists in suppressing symptoms of sickness and disease by increasing the body�s own defense systems.

Hemp seed contains good quantities of arginine and histidine; both are important for growth during childhood. Hemp protein also has the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine, which are needed for proper enzyme formation, as well as relatively high levels of the branched-chain amino acids that are important for the metabolism of exercising muscle.

http://www.happyplanet.com.au/page.php?PageID=4 and wikipedia.



Challenges: Why don't we eat more hemp seeds for protein instead of meat...that would reduce a lot of the Earths carbon emissions. I suppose the food authorities would miss out on a lot of money if this were to happen. (yes hemp seeds are cheap!)

Triumphs: I had no idea hemp seeds existed before this, I love finding out about new foods, I'm sure there are a lot more out there!!!

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: 3 nectarines. A beetroot, carrot, celery and ginger juice.

Lunch: 3 nectarines and half of my friend David's! Hehe! Chocolate balls with macadamia nuts and walnuts. wheatgrass shot.

Dinnner: 2 avocados with hemp seeds. 4 nectarines. 2 handfuls of macadamia nuts. Eating my chia seeds tonight I was like I need to eat lots of these seeds to get what the hemp seeds provides. What if we just ate everything in small amounts and that's all we needed, what if we listened to our bodies, and we are connected with ourselves and fellow man. Imagine.

Dessert: a Damianna herbal tea.

Snacks: a Damianna herbal tea.

Exercise: Reading!...my script for the movie I am in, starts shooting in 5 days! "The Man In The Maze" www.themaninthemaze.net

Day 111

Thoughts:

We eat too much, buy too much, consume too much. We are being super sized. Current fast-food servings are two to five times larger than they were in the 1950s.

Earth Diet reader Bryan Adams was visiting Georgia in USA and wrote in this..."The story behind that picture is this...I went to a restaurant called Firehouse today. I love their sandwiches, fresh, toasted and delicious subs. Upon ordering the girl at the register asked if I wanted chips and a drink, I said yes. Then she said Medium or Large? I said Medium. She put the cup from the picture on the counter. I said, Sorry, is that my cup? She said yes. I said Whoa!! What does the Large look like? She showed me a monstrousity of a cup. I thought, Jesus that's why people in the South are so friggen fat. They go to a restaurant that serves quick, delicious, filling sanwiches at a reasonable price and get a massive drink, fill it with soda and drink it with their meal. Then most probably get a refill before they leave. It's sad actually. Some restaurants do, but more should take responsbility for what they serve people. Going around town, I'll bet 60% (conservative) or more of the population in this area are overweight. Anyway, wanted to share that with you."

Fast-food restaurants may brag about their premium salads and apple fries, but for all the healthier items they've added to menus, portion bloat is bigger than ever.The problem is, people tend to eat or drink what's in front of them. We also significantly underestimate how many calories we consume. But even when consumers try to do right by their diets by choosing a small or medium of something at a fast-food chain, they may be getting more than they expect.

Not only are servings getting larger, some top fast-food chains are engaged in a sleight-of-name game — marketing ploys which could confuse customers who think they're ordering less than they actually are, according to a study I co-authored with Dr. Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, published in a recent Journal of Public Health Policy.

Albert Einstein even said "Nothing will benifit health and inrease the chances for survival of life on Earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet".

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20825325/


Watch Supersize Me,a movie that sheds a new light on what has become one of our nation's biggest health problems: obesity. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked.

Challenges: Seeing photos of these supersize kids eating at Mc Donalds.

Triumphs: I eat more food now on the Earth Diet than I used to eating man made processed foods! And I love it...I get to induldge in beautiful foods...so if you love eating I reccomend you do the Earth Diet because you can eat as much as you want and often as you want!!!

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: Spinach, celery, carrot and ginger juice. Organic green grapes...so small and so sweet!

Lunch: 5 nectarines. Cherries. Chocolate balls with macadamias.

Dinnner: A salad with baby spinach, green lettuce, a huge beautiful creamy organic avocado with lemon juice.

Dessert: Damiana herbal tea.

Snacks: Chocolate balls.

Exercise: A swim in the ocean and then a 1 hour pump (weights) class at the gym! Love pumpin with the Steph master! And a sauna after...mmm stretching!

Day 110

Thoughts: I have been avoiding doing this all day...

I'm not ok with how I am being today. I am being selfish and self absorbed, I am in my own tiny little world...not present to have much I have to be thankful for, and then making myself wrong for not being grateful when I know I really should, I am being such a jerk.

I have this voice saying "I am fat and ugly and my legs are so gross and so wobbly and I hate them and they will never bee good enough, and I will never be skinny enough or pretty enough, or I will never have the body I want because I really can't have the body I want, that would be crazy, and no matter how hard I work out and how healthy I eat, because lets face It I eat immaculate, how can I even look like this when I eat so immaculate? Its so frustrating and annoying and I am so jealous of fit and skinny people because I just dont understand how they do it and why I cant have it, like I know my body is ok but its just not good eough or toned enough or hott enough. I had a great hott body once but now I can never have it again because Im just too old, im 22 and its too late i reuined my body now and i even eat raw foods and noting happens i dont tone up i still hold onto the fat around my butt and my legs and my stomach and its just such waste of time like i have been working out flat out for like 6 weeks and i reckon i look worse than before, i must have been doing something wrong, this is so crap. I'ts so unfair. like i believe i create everything in my life but i jus cant see how i create this because i reall really dont like the body im in i hate it. Im uncomfortable. I feel like everything I eat makes me fat and bloated and bla bla bla"...

Had enough yet? This has ben running my life today...and it's tiring and annoying. You get the picture and I could keep going and going. That voice is so strong and dominating right now, its like its an identitiy that I created when I was younger to survive somwhere along the line, and now that identity is being threatened because i am going ot be in a movie next week. its self sabatagoe. those thoughts are so useess and negative, and i know whne they are going on in my head i do not get to be the person i have created myself to be, and that is a human being who is a stand for peace, and health and love on the earth.

I sometimes think I need to get rid of this voice, "it's wrong and disgusitng and god I cant tell anyone because they will think I am so weird because no one else on earth thinks these things. Only I do." And that's the little voice talking AGAIN. Isn't it crazy to think that I think that no one else on the planet thinks these kinds of things also. sheeshh I couldnt be that special to be the ONLY ONE on the planet to have these thoughts! Hehe

And so now im getting that resisting the voice and trying to get it to shut up and go away isnt the way to do it. The voice is not bad. I created it after all, nothing can just happen outside of me. It's just like a little kid, a little girl inside of my head throwing a trantrum because she cant handle abundance and getting her own greatness. Ýes you are great little voice, I am talking to you.

And so I accepted that this voice is here, it aint gonna go away, and if it really is here to stay forever then ok, I created a new possibiity, a new way for me to be, a new way of being for me, a new thing to take on, and the possibility I created was being sexy, powerful and unstoppable in the face of this voice and being Kate Hudson!!! And I dont want to be her, I want to be the "being" she brings to her life, that is inspirational! She is sexy, and confident and owns it. I want to experience choosing my body fully, creating it, accepting it, loving it, because afterall I created it to be how it is right NOW and I want to walk dow the street fully in my body, loving my butt, and experiecning my arms, and owning every cell of my body...instead of rejecting my own creation. Crazy that I rejected my own body, my own creation for so long.

Challenges: I don't accept the "feeling crap" time. I resist it, make it wrong, I don't "feel" it, I reject it and say "oh no I can't feel that, that is a bad feeling, I should be happy and grateful and appreciative".

Triumphs: Accepting this "feeling crap" time and the voice in my head, because really it's not crap or bad, they are the words I have used to label it, it''s just another vibrational frequency.

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: A spinach and carrot juice. A green apple.

Lunch: 5 nectarines. Organic green grapes mmm mmm.

Dinnner: Cooked vegetables with basil and galic and parsley...mmm mmm! Brocoli, potato, pumpkin, beans, mushroom.

Dessert: A beautiful sweet sweet mango!

Snacks: 4 nuts! I cracked them myself! 2 brazil nuts, a hazel nut and a walnut. In the time it took me to crack 4 nuts, I would have eaten a few handfuls. It's great to get even further back to nature and eat simple and less. And there is something special about cracking your own nuts...it takes work...and it's like when I was a kid and ate Kinder Surprises and found a treat inside, there is something sacred about finding a beautiful crispy nut under some work to crack it open! I got quite excited when I saw the nut!

Exercise: A long run on the beach in Surfers Paradise with the Ludo master ;) And a swim in the ocean...the ultimate reward after a run on the sand ;)

Day 109

Thoughts: Anything with "sugar free" is death.

There are dangerous chemicals that make up for the sugar. Aspartame is the deadliest. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption (http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html). It seems surreal, but true. How can one chemical create such chaos?Aspartame dissolves into solution and can therefore travel throughout the body and deposit within any tissue. The body digests aspartame unlike saccharin, which does not break down within humans. The multitude of aspartame side effects are indicative to your genetic individuality and physical weaknesses. It is important to put two and two together, nonetheless, and identify which side effects aspartame is creating within you.

These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.

Ever gone to the doctor with real, physical symptoms, but he/she can’t find the cause? Well, it’s probably your diet, your environment, or both.

Try the Aspartame Detoxification Program, and within 30 days your symptoms should disappear.

Steps:

1. Remove all sugar-free products with aspartame from your diet.
2. Learn to 'read' your body. Begin recording any health changes.
3. Be happy with yourself.
4. Detoxify.
5. Restore depleted nutrients.
6. Exercise and get plenty of rest.
7. Eat 75% raw foods at every meal.
8. Drink water, water, water.
9. Get control of your life.

It becomes so normal that everyone thinks its normal, and im saying hey thats not normal, so im taking whats normal and making it normal.

Challenges: It may take a few years to have the human race not eat or buy these products...and once we stop buying them, they will stop making them. :)

Triumphs: Real food costs money....so what? I am worth it! You are worth it!

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: Passionfruit. 6 netarines.

Lunch: 4 chocolate balls. A mango (kevin). Juice.

Dinner: Eggplant dish cooked in macadamia nut spread. (photo)

Dessert: Kiwi fruit.

Snacks: 3 nectarines.

Exercise: Bikram yoga class! 90 minutes yoga is a hott room :)

Day 108

Thoughts: The Earth has a heart beat.

I felt so connected to the Earth after watching Avatar and saw the insansity of human beings destroying our beautiful Earth. And I wondered what it must be like for our beautiful Earth, the thing that provides us human beings existence.

I found this great article about the Earth and it only confirmed my thought that eating from the Earth and what is naturally provides makes total sense.

(http://users.skynet.be/P-ART/PARADISE/JOURNAL/JOURNL59/journ59.htm) Changes are occurring on the physical, emotions, mental, and spiritual levels. Our physical body is changing as we approach Zero Point. The "free energy flip" will probably introduce us to the 4th dimension. We are becoming more intuitive.

Changes within the Earth are affecting our sleep patterns, relationships, the ability to regulate our immune system and our perception of time. This change within our body is happening now. The human body will become more sensitive as a result of the new vibrations. Why?

The Earth behaves like an enormous electric circuit. The atmosphere is actually a weak conductor and if there were no sources of charge, its existing electric charge would diffuse away in about 10 minutes. The resonant properties of this terrestrial cavity were first predicted by the German physicist W. O. Schumann between 1952 and 1957, and first detected by Schumann and König in 1954.

Gregg BRADEN found data collected by Norwegian and Russian researchers that the Earths rotation is slowing down. At the same time there is an increase in the resonant frequency of the Earth (Schumann Resonance).

Time will appear to speed up as we approach Zero Point. A 24 hour day will seem to about 16 hours or less. The resonance of Earth (Schumann Resonance) has been 7.8Hz for thousands of years. However, the "heart beat" of Mother Earth has been rising since 1980. It is at about 12 cycles at present. It stops at 13 cycles. When the Earth stops its rotation and the resonance frequency reaches 13 cycles we will be at a zero point magnetic field. In 2 or 3 days it will start turning again in the opposite direction? This will produce a reversal in the magnetic fields around the earth and so forth.

Challenges: I spent 21 years not being aware. Not being aware of the beautiful Earth, not being connected with it, easily throwing rubbish on the surface and having no idea of the effects, not knowing or even caring or appreciating what supported my existence as a human being! I trashed the Earth with negative thoughts, disconnection, littering, eating processed factory made foods.

Triumphs: I am so grateful that I am awake and alive now and I love the Earth! Thank you Earth :)

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: Pineapple. 5 nectarines.

Lunch: Nectarines. An avocado.

Dinner: A salad with green letuce, spinach, lemon and avocado.

Dessert: Kiwi fruit.

Snacks: Lichees. An avocado.

Exercise: Run on the beach.

Day 107

Thoughts: Why Are Wheat and Rice So Bad for Your Health? Afterall wheat is grown naturally on the earth, so it must be part of the Earth Diet? Well it would be...however it's how it's now being made and processed that makes it bad for us. You can actually grow your own wheat and make your own flour and it's easier than you think! The process of of making your own flour is a lot easier than most people imagine. Before the advent of the modern flour mill, grinding wheat or corn into flour was a laborious task. For that reason, most Americans still assume flour is made with some sort of magical machinery in a factory somewhere. In actuality, wheat is one of the easiest crops to grow, even if you have limited space. Once you’ve grown it, you just need to cut an arm-full, flail it a bit to remove the grain, blow the chaff off the grain, and use a device like your blender to make the flour. From there, the cookie, bread, pasta or pancake recipe you use is up to you!

Wheat is Australia's most important grain crop. Over the five year period to 1995, wheat exports averaged about $2.3 billion.

First of all by default wheat refers to refined wheat and rice refers to white rice. These are not whole grains. What makes them so bad for you is the good stuff was taken out and the bad stuff was left in. So when you eat these foods they need to rob your body of the good things that were in them so you can digest them.

Over time this destroys your health. Then they create all these foods with wheat like pancakes, waffles, french toast, cream of wheat, bread, pasta, muffins, biscuits, soft and hard pretzels, cakes, cookies, crackers, donuts, bagels, blintzes, perogies, lasagna, sandwiches, burgers, pies, pizza and strombolis. Whole wheat and brown rice are whole grains and so are not unhealthy.

The whole wheat is not great for health though, but it is cheap. It is better to use other grains like rye, barley, kamut, spelt, quinoa, millet and wild rice. Wild rice is not a rice. It is the only grain that is native to North America. The wheat and rice is originally with 3 parts. To refine it, they take off the bran. This has most of the fiber and a lot of anti-oxidants. This is then sold in the heath food store. The wheat and rice are sold in the fat and sick food store.

Then they take off the germ and that is sold in the health food store. It has most of the nutrition. The part that is left is called endosperm. That is what rice and wheat are-- rice and wheat endosperm. It is mostly carbohydrates. So that is why this food makes you fat and sick. Whole wheat may be bland but brown rice tastes as good as white rice. It has a nuttier taste. Many Indians have switched from basmati rice to brown basmati rice.

HealthThe Critical Role of Wheat in Human Disease by Dr. Mercola...

Lectin is a type of 'wheat germ agglutinin' (WGA) and glycoprotein. Through thousands of years of selectively breeding wheat for increasingly larger quantities of protein, the concentration of WGA lectin has increased proportionately.

WGA is largely responsible for many of wheat's pervasive ill effects.
What’s more, WGA is found in highest concentrations in "whole wheat," including its supposedly superior sprouted form.

What is unique about the WGA glycoprotein is that it can do direct damage to the majority of tissues in your body without requiring a specific set of genetic susceptibilities or immune-mediated articulations.

This may explain why chronic inflammatory and degenerative conditions are endemic to wheat-consuming populations.

WGA lectin is an exceptionally tough adversary as it is formed by the same disulfide bonds that make vulcanized rubber and human hair so strong, flexible and durable.

Like man-made pesticides, lectins are extremely small, resistant to breakdown by living systems, and tend to accumulate and become incorporated into tissues where they interfere with normal biological processes.

At exceedingly small concentrations, WGA stimulates the synthesis of pro-inflammatory chemical messengers. WGA induces thymus atrophy in rats. WGA can pass through the blood-brain barrier. It may also interfere with gene expression and disrupt endocrine function.

Challenges: Most people don't have the time, or more won't make the time to grow their own wheat and rice, then harvest it and grind it, and create a recipe, then create that and eat it. And that's why we have so much disease on the planet, because it's so much more convenient to go to the shop and buy something that's already been through that process for us. Wow and don't we miss so much of it's creation! I would much rather be part of the creation of it, or I won't eat it.

Triumphs: Giving up flour and rice has been easy on this Earth Diet. Becuase there are so many beautiful and delicious fruits and vegetables and recipes I haven't even thought about eating these grains. I never thought I would give up bread or rice, especially rice as I used to eat sushi almost every day. Now I know that I am able to grow my own on the Earth and then make it! That is exciting :)

What I Ate Today:

Breakfast: Apple. 5 nectarines. Grapes a big juicy bunch!

Lunch: A salad with green lettuce, spinach, avocado, and lemon.

Dinner: 5 nectarines. Water melon.

Dessert: Uhh another nectarine! haha!

Snacks: Lihees!

Exercise: A run and swim on the beach.
