I know what you mean, I'm trying to eat more vegetables these days and although I manage to eat more healthily, still the old foods tempt me from time to time.

very fact/info packed entries!

good luck with your continued lifestyle changes!!
I'd also recommend some detox/cleansing-- did wonders in my case (removed almost all cravings for sugars and other such items-- might be of use to yours)

you rawk dude. thanks for the info. how long have you been juicing?

Since about the beginning of the year [2009]..
my intentions were to do a 90 day juice feast - but have found that to be impractical for budget and family meal planning reasons...

I still manage to juice most week-days however, and definitely would recommend doing that as a supplement to whatever (healthy) eating habits ANYONE is already practicing...

Was this your first juicing ever? Recommend any good recipes?
