Integrating the Spirals: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Because I’ve been continually working on my 5th book, We Are All Connected, I’ll share a beautiful Thanksgiving mass email I received today from the folks over at, TCCHE.

Join me in receiving emails and updates from TCCHE at: https://tcche.org

That email sums up how I’m feeling about all of you. And how I’m feeling so blessed to be with family today (it was so easy to simply bake and cook and then run everything next door)! Plus, we got to spend time with our son-in-law’s mother and her husband, and our three lovely, loud, and vibrant granddaughters. Whew! Big day. Lots of food. Lots of love. I said grace at the table and shared an Energy blessing. In one word, the grace I said was, One LOVE. And I draw a big heart in the air over our table. Later, Richard, said he thought we should all share one thing we’re grateful for. And each of us did! We even shared more than one thing!

Not to make anyone hungry, here’s some of the food. And yes, we had turkey (see, Linda? Ha! I remembered to enjoy a bite for you!) I made a pumpkin pie, man candy bacon, and pineapple upside down cake.

Cheese ball with crackers. It’s never a holiday in our house without a cheese ball. And yes, there’s a story about these. Haha! Wouldn’t you know it (it has to do with my first marriage)?
Man candy bacon. It went over so well last year, everyone wanted me to make 2 pounds of it this year! It takes a bit of time to make it, but it’s so worth it. FYI: We didn’t eat pork for about the first 15 years of our marriage, so this is huge deal for us. And only once a year.
Our son-in-law makes this amazing Canadian meat stuffing that’s half pork and half beef and includes special spices (it takes him hours to make it). Even their picky eater girls love it (that tells you something)! So, I loaded up on that (top of my plate). Plus, turkey, regular stuffing, gravy, a cheese roll, a little mac-n-cheese (that he also makes homemade) and pumpkin dip that my daughter made from a new recipe. We usually always do have something old. But yes, Mike’s meat stuffing is the real deal. Richard said it reminded him of haggis (that we had in Scotland in 2019). I think for the consistency and spice that we don’t normally have.
The pineapple upside down cake (I would say this is a nod to the upside down in Stranger Things, but it’s in memory of my mom). And we had chocolate silk cream pie in memory of my dad. Plus, I baked a traditional pumpkin pie. We waited an hour after we ate our lunch to have these desserts and no, I could’t eat them all.

My daughter and I thought of my dearly departed mother as we ate the pineapple upside down cake (as mom used to make that a lot), and we had chocolate cream pie, which was always my dad’s favorite. We bought fudge from a local German bakery because mom used to always make fudge and also because our longtime family friend, Liz, is from Germany. We tried to remember all the special people in our lives today.

Hours later, I can’t even look at the fudge. Ha! I haven’t been able to put another bite of food in my mouth. Mind you, I’ve only been eating one meal a day for a few months, and this was more food than I would normally ever eat. I’ve been doing so good in regard to diet and exercise that I don’t want to set myself back much simply to celebrate a holiday. Of course we still have Christmas and my birthday to get through, but after that, I’m planning on a three-day water fast. I understand all too well what eating too much can do to a body.

Much love and hugs to ALL of you! I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family, or if not, at least got to give them a call, or send special thoughts to them. You wouldn’t believe how important it all is (the more I research and put into place in this 5th book). Ah!

We finished watching a series called, Justified: City Primeval starring Timothy Olyphant and his real life daughter. It was only one season, but if they do a season 2, we’d be interesting as it would include Walter Goggins as the villain. And we like him.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

Integrating the Spirals: Turning lies around and the Combs trial

I love working with a kaleidoscope, a mirror ball, and trees to help me understand various perspectives! I use these tools to benefit myself and others! Practicing my method, Integrating the Spirals helps me let go of judgment and gives me more ease in my day-to-day life when I become aggravated (triggered) by something someone says that I don’t agree/align with.

Lies are one perspective

Having been married to two former husbands who consistently lied to me for various reasons (one was an alcoholic who gaslit me and cheated, and the other was a drug-addict who also cheated by the end of our relationship), I finally sought help via 12 step-groups, group and individual counseling therapy. I read many self help and personal transformation books, and years later, began writing books myself. Let me be clear, I do not condone domestic violence or trafficking in any form or for any reason.

I find the topic of Lies fascinating though and I have worked with clients one-on-one, using such tools as mirror balls and kaleidoscopes, to find new perspectives—and always with the thought in mind to self empower clients (and mySelf) by reaching for the next better feeling thought! 

Speaking of Lies and mirror ball/multiple perspectives, I will be following the multifaceted Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial closely. You may not want to read the entire article if you’re sensitive, but for full transparency here is the story link to USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/05/12/diddy-trial-updates-day-five/83544211007/

What I’ll be focusing on

So far, we’re just getting started. But the parts of the trial I’ll be focused on (and what so far, I think is going to be the crux of the trial) are highlighted in the following paragraph (from the USA Today story link above):

Screen capture of USA Today article that presents what I consider to be the crux of the trial that I’ll be focusing on. Full story at: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/05/12/diddy-trial-updates-day-five/83544211007/

Update

Now, that the Diddy trial is over, we shall see what his sentence is. I had a feeling though, that he wasn’t going to be found guilty on the worst of the charges.

Yours in expanding, revolving, doing-my-egoless-best, limitless, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Integrating the Spirals: Give these new leaders TIME

I think many people are here, living this life on earth, to learn PATIENCE. We have multifaceted issues and challenges to correct and solve.

Give our new leaders TIME

It takes time to turn a ship and our country is in a mess, especially when it comes to our food (and what Big Ag and food manufacturers consider “food”).

I agree with this opinion piece about Casey Means from Dr. McCullough’s Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/petermcculloughmd/p/in-defense-of-casey-means?r=38u2zy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

March 16th – Roadkill

It’s March 16th, 2024; Here’s an original country song with swingin’ guitar licks and piano all about cookin’ up the road kill. Get your fill with this kickin’ country tune (thanks to Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN). Road kill’s not so bad on a hot dog bun. LOL

Taste lingers

Here’s the seventy-fifth new music post for 2024, as I consistently serve up an original song from Richard’s 400+ song catalog to enjoy (or learn from) every day. This country song gives a nod to Vonns, Subaru, and State Road 395 (that runs through Bishop, CA).

The taste for places in our past lingers. Isn’t that amazing? Roadkill may not tempt you, but depending upon where you live, a lot of different foods are served up, which may surprise you. And palates do change over time.

Food songs

What other food songs come to your mind as you listen to this country tune?

Are you a foodie?

What strange foods have you eaten?

Have you ever eaten roadkill?

Pretty soon, if not already, you can eat some wild food like the bugs mentioned in this infographic:

Bugs in food meme: Crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers. Make sure you check ingredients before you buy – look at the small print!!

I have learned a great deal about food over the years (plus had 4 years of Home Economics classes in high school), and I’ve done a lot of testing of different diets and ways of eating over the years. From this full list of the people (teachers and mentors) on my blog: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/07/15/my-holistic-health-recommendations/ I’ve broken it down to a shorter reference for you, specific to the folks who offer food information and/or recipes:

Breaking attachments is hard to do

Screen capture: I love reviewing restaurant food (and other things) and this is an example of how many times my photos have been viewed on Google. I was kind of shocked when I got the email recently about this. 10,000 views!

Changing the way we eat is also a psychological process and can be hard to do, especially if one is addicted to food.

Vloggers who expand our consciousness

This is a list of vloggers we follow daily/weekly to expand our consciousness and yes, some of them, like Matt and Julia, eat during their videos (we love that)!:

Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.

May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! Cheers to expanding our consciousness!

Yours in expanding, tasting, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

Did you know about Smithfield Foods?

Do you care where your food items come from? Are you too busy to find out? Or are you like most of us and think if a grocery store sells it, it must be okay to eat–after all, why else do we have an FDA (in the US)? The FDA is a department within the federal government in America that’s supposed to oversee food producers. However, eggs, poultry, and meats are regulated by the USDA–Department of Agriculture.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):

Where’s the beef?

When my mom (and my cousin, Greg) worked in the butcher shop of a chain grocery store, all I knew about meat was what cut came from what part of the cow and how to properly store and cook it. I never thought about what ranch the beef came from or who owned the cattle company.

While watching an interview featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the other day, he mentioned that Smithfield Foods was owned by a Chinese company. Does that surprise you?

Does it make any difference at all who (or what country) owns the meat we eat?

Researching Smithfield Foods

Since finding out that one of the food items I buy has genetically modified organisms in it (a particular yogurt that has the lowest salt and sugar content)–which is hard to find, I am now on a mission to learn about where our meat comes from.

Thankfully, we don’t eat beef much anymore (since finding out my husband has high iron in his blood) and I have been buying organic beef, lamb, and bison for many years–and buying organic has been one of the best ways to know we’re eating healthy (sans chemicals and GMOs).

Here’s some screen captures of what I learned:

Smithfield was acquired by China’s top meat producer quote
Question asked in Ecosia search on Smithfield
What other food companies are owned by Chinese interests?
Wikipedia says WH Group is the parent company who owns Smithfield foods
Where’s the beef come from?
Where was Smithfield foods from?

Do you care who owns the companies that package the food you eat?

Maybe it doesn’t matter to you where your food comes from. I think our ‘too busy’ lifestyles have gotten us into this disconnected mess and we’re paying for it with ill health. I admit I’ve been too busy to follow up on every single food item, though I do check most. All I can do now is do better.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ALL! If you’d like to read my 2023 year end review post, it’s over on my other site: https://beingwhollyvibrant.wordpress.com/2023/12/25/2023-review-of-a-moving-year/

What I am known for

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

Our Thanksgiving 2023

This was our first Thanksgiving in Ocala, Florida (and will probably be our last). Through no fault of anyone other than our upstairs neighbors (it’s more of a structural thing than them–except they work odd hours, coming in late and leaving very early in the mornings), and that the friends we have here aren’t any more social than the ones we left behind in south Florida. Sad to say. Granted, a few were ill and no one can blame them for not wanting to get together, but some didn’t even call or message. And I’m not the type to invite ourselves to someone’s house for Thanksgiving, even friends we’d had Thanksgiving with before.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

It is what it was

If I sound a little sad or aggravated, I guess I have been. But I’m working on my DE-Program process (Integrating the Spirals) and “letting it go.” Writing this post helps. It is what it was. I know we’re all adjusting to a “new normal.” I just wish people wouldn’t ignore us/or anyone. I don’t think it’s healthy to stay “shut in.” Of course, I am all for doing stuff on my own, Ms. Independent here. But I think all this time during COVID has really punctuated the point of getting together with others. I love my monthly Zoom calls, but hanging out in person–well, there’s so much that could be said for camaraderie.

Who did you celebrate with?

Our little local restaurant (we walk to) was closed for Thanksgiving day, so we ordered our food the day before. And then, I reheated our food on Thanksgiving day. And it was all delicious–more on that and pictures in a few minutes!

Our longtime friend, Nancy, sent us a bag of organic lemons. I call these our Sarah lemons because they grow on a lemon tree I gave Nancy years ago when her daughter, Sarah passed away. And Sarah loved lemons. Nancy was going to drive a couple hours to come visit us before Thanksgiving but I was sick that day, so she mailed these instead.
The day before Thanksgiving we walked to our little local restaurant to have a cup of Christmas cheer with our bartender friend, Rob. My mom always used to have a cocktail on Thanksgiving and call it her “Christmas cheer.” So, this was a special pumpkin martini and I thought of her as I enjoyed it.
One of my mom’s handkerchiefs, the Avon nativity set (that my mom and I had both collected one each when she sold Avon), a ceramic angel that was a gift, and a glass Christmas plate. I’m also putting a Christmas globe out, with a blue Fenton Art Glass deer, but otherwise, that’s all I’m doing to decorate the apartment for Christmas.
I have to glue one of the gifts/hands that broke from one of the wise men. This is a closeup of the Avon ceramic nativity scene. I put it on our bar so I could meditate on it while I wash dishes in the sink. I typically have a Fenton candy dish sitting on mom’s handkerchief in this location.

I mused over some of the things I have from mom and dad, grandparents, and cousins. One gift I wear often is from my first cousin Greg–a garnet string of chip crystals. I’m always so thankful for the gifts from family (I have so few of those kinds of momentos). I love useful gifts or things I can wear to remember my loved ones. How about you? Do you do that too–think of your loved ones when you use or wear things they gave you? To me, that’s the heart of holidays like Thanksgiving.

Alone together

So, I called some family friends who were also alone for Thanksgiving, and enjoyed our phone calls, but Richard and I celebrated Thanksgiving alone this year.

I have a strong feeling that we’ll be up north with family next summer and thus, won’t even be living in Florida this time next year to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. Oh, well! I’m glad we did it when we did a few years ago and will have to settle on simply being grateful “We did that then.”

We had turkey, stuffing (dressing), a very small amount of bourbon gravy, which was new to us, and green bean casserole, also new to us and very creamy and cheesy. We also had carrots and potatoes and a fantastic yam/sweet potato casserole with little marshmallows on top–I hadn’t had one of those casseroles in years!

We ended our Thanksgiving feast with a slice of chocolate cream pie (as I’ve been doing a lot lately reminiscent of my dad–he always loved a good chocolate cream pie. I found the Edwards brand in the store freezer case and have decided it’s the best for the price for us now).

What “food” holiday do you celebrate?

What similar holiday do you celebrate in your country?

I love Diwali in India. I’ve celebrated it several times with coworkers. It will be one of the things I miss when I retire. Actually, I’ve worked at home for the last 6.5 years, so come to think of it, I haven’t celebrated Diwali in person with anyone for a long time. I love Indian food, so it used to be one of the holidays I always looked forward to when I worked in an office–all that delicious food!

Giving thanks for ALL

I love gifts that keep on giving. Here’s the new crystal bracelet from one of my cousins who I met recently on Facebook–she makes these. I bought one to match for my daughter, and then one each for our three granddaughters in their favorite colors for Christmas. And I’m wearing Color Street polish on my fingernails, which I’ll post about next (my daughter is a Color Street stylist). I’m still juicing these lemons from Sarah’s lemon tree too. I think I will get them all used up before they spoil without even needing to freeze the juice.

Yours in expanding, thankful, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, joy, and sustainment in JOY!

What are your food rules?

I’ll give you my food rules, but I am really interested to see what yours are:

Alcohol. Because I am an adult and can legally drink alcohol, I do! More or less depending on my mood or if I want a treat, but every time I stop drinking alcohol (and start feeling better in my body), I restart after 3 months or so, because I feel I deserve it, and because I can. Ugh. Awareness is step one though, right?

Cake. I am typically able to pass up cake and any kind of dessert with ease, but wedding cake? Wedding cake gets me every time! Haha! Glad I don’t officiate weddings anymore (nor have I attended any weddings in several years).

Wedding cake

Christmas cookies. I used to love the chocolate and paraffin covered peanut butter balls my aunt Gela made at Christmas, as well as the potato candy that my dad made. And then, my grandmother’s banana walnut cake with chocolate icing, and my mom’s fudge. 

I have learned to let go of a lot of Christmas cookies, and other delightful confections, but I do order french chocolate truffles (and some years my daughter mails us her homemade truffles), so we indulge in those during cold holiday evenings.

I do love a fruit cake if it’s soaked in whiskey or rum, because it reminds me of my mom. And chocolate flourless cake is my favorite (even instead of cheesecake)! If we are out for dinner somewhere they offer chocolate flourless cake, I get it. Thankfully, not many places have it on their menu. I get it, on average, once a year.

Chips and dip. I have beat this habit, but if I buy potato chips, I must also buy sour cream and onion dip. Thank God Mister Bee potato chips changed their formula. I didn’t even think about buying those while we were visiting West Virginia last week.

Water. I have no rules around water, but have been trying to drink half my body weight in ounces of water each day. I think I could use a good rule around water. I have let go of soda (20 years ago), and recently began drinking more herbal teas. I love Sipology teas.

What rules around food do you have?

Detox and drainage

Possibilities to help detox and drain.


Earthing

Walk in the sand and gain electrons from the earth, (Jared Pollack’s work) movement increases our energy and vibrancy.

Light

Wake up half hour earlier and go outside and walk in the sun, even if it’s cloudy, barefoot when possible.

Getting bare skin on the earth, hydrating, and 20 minutes of sunshine everyday can do wonders for anyone’s health.

Movement

Exercise and contraction of the movement is good, but getting physical touch, and earth is so important.

Peptides, according to Dr. Jay Davidson purifies and benefits RNA/DNA. It can mimic intermittant fasting effects. This can support the heart.

Spiral Thought: What if the heart as a rhythm conductor, instead of a pump? We know the extraordinary benefits of heart-brain coherence!

Drainage funnel

What order do we want to drain and detox in?

We want to unclog the bottom of funnel first! So, make sure you’re pooping – ensure colon is ready for a detox.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (or TUDCA), is a natural bile fluid produced by the liver. But humans don’t make this. Yet interestingly, Black bears make a lot of TUDCA.

As a supplement, TUDCA could offer benefits to the brain, liver, nervous system, eye (retina), and more. Studies and research are ongoing, but more human trials are needed. TUDCA’s potential is exciting because of its neuro-supportive and liver bioavailability.

The liver and bile duct system (if that’s backed up) allow toxins to go into the blood stream. We want to keep these systems working well.

Lymphatic system – if you’re experiencing brain fog it could mean your brain needs to drain.

Questions for you

Have you tried Mita Restore (helps mitochondria), or Bioactive Carbon Metchem (binds onto pesticides/herbacides)? (Found on the following websites:

I’m planning on doing this after doing Elena’s detox if I need it, but I would love to hear from you, and the results you obtained.

The detox methods I’m doing

As for the detox I mentioned of Elena’s I’m starting, you can read about it here: https://livinghealthyinstitute.com

I am continuing—twice a year—to do (and highly recommend) the Sacred Science food and herbs protocol that I wrote about previously: https://sheilamurrey.net/2021/02/08/integration-diet-the-sacred-science-7-week-herbal-detox/

I also continue to take redox molecules, daily. Reach out to me for more information about that, as I know longer promote the products publicly.

UPDATE 12/15/21:

I did Elena’s 2-day digestive system cleanse! WOW! This cleanse left me feeling amazing after it was done! I will link to it here: https://livinghealthyinstitute.com

UPDATE 1/15/22:

I have completed Elena’s liver cleanse protocol too. It was more intense than I thought, because you fast (by drinking only water, fresh juices, and tea) for 3 days, and run to the restroom a lot! Thankfully, there’s no cramping or other ill effects! But let’s just say, coconut oil is needed after wiping because your rear gets sore. Ugh!

Now, I see why many prefer colonics! But I did lose 5 pounds, as this liver cleanse begins with a small intestine cleanse, then after the liver cleanse, completing with a digestive cleanse.

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey Mind-Body

People perish for lack of knowledge

So many people are perishing. They are literally perishing for lack of knowledge about vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and NUTRITION!

In America, the land of milk and honey, where we have so much abundance, it is odd that anyone is lacking VITAL food, full of nutrition, especially when it’s readily available to most of us at our local grocery store, or farmer’s market. If you’re a homeowner or have access to any piece of land, you are especially rich – because you CAN grow your own food!

If you’re fighting a dis-ease, nutrition absolutely the best FUEL for your body. Time is of the essence! Do not procrastinate to give your body what it needs. No one wants cancer, chronic or degenerative dis-ease. No one wants to suffer.

The absolute must-have food for your body is 100 percent organic, non-GMO vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. While personally I believe a raw vegan diet is best for exceedingly vibrant health and renewal, even if you gently cook some of your food, the produce section of your market has everything you need to get and maintain a healthy, life-giving, renewing, lifestyle. Yes, even through the winter months!

I want so much for you to understand the supreme importance of nutrition and how it benefits your body. YOU HAVE OPTIONS!

This is a topic I am totally passionate about! I have learned quite a lot about enzyme-rich, nutritionally dense living vegan foods, and how intelligent they are for you, because I used to be hungry all the time, and fat, when I ate processed, nutritionally deficient foods. Fast food, canned, boxed, and overly processed foods never fill you up — thus you eat, and eat, and eat!  Often, all of that unstoppable eating, gets us fat, or worse, contributes to chronic dis-ease.

You eat, and eat, and never get proper nutrition. Then you wonder why you feel like crap, sluggish, with no energy, and suffer from type 2 diabetes, inflammation, and so on. How can this be?

To explain it thoroughly, I’d have to take you down the rabbit hole of nutrient deficient SOIL that vegetables and fruits are grown in these days, not to mention all the extra junk added to foods (which, attempts to make processed food taste good, perhaps even aimed at getting you addicted to it). Those additives raise your blood sugar levels and prevents your body from actually producing some of the things the body needs to maintain good health.

That’s all before we get into the conversation about pesticides and herbicides, which are sprayed on produce at the farms, along with hormones and antibiotics given to the animals, and so on. Much of what’s fed to animals is passed to us via dairy products, meat, etc. It’s a bit overwhelming when you think of all the contributing factors in the food chain, which are unhealthy for us and contribute to various dis-eases.

When I think about and analyze all the reasons processed foods hurt us, it propels me to do all I can to educate people. Do you know that white sugar is addictive as heroin? Yep. Interesting huh?

So, would you rather pay the farmer, or the doctor? I’d rather pay the farmer!

Eating healthy may not be as glamorous as laying in a hospital with an IV in your arm (not!), but I’ve got way to much to do than to lay around feeling sick and yucky. Nor do I want to go to any doctor office or hospital. Those can be pretty scary places!

I don’t know about you, but I want to fully LIVE! I want to feel GREAT, vibrant, vital, with lots of energy!

I feel my best when I eat mostly organic whole local produce, nuts and seeds. I do not need dairy. I do not need grains. I do not need animal products every day (actually I only consume one serving of chicken or fish ever other day currently). It is possible to live on a raw vegetable and fruit juice diet, with some raw vegetable salads along with nuts and seeds, soups, or only juicing.

You will probably feel better on the kinds of foods I recommend than you’ve ever felt in your life!

What follows is the diet I’ve been following for several months:

One glass of lemon water or lemon Kombucha upon awakening in the morning

One protein drink (mixed with water)

One or two small fresh veggie salads, the size of which varies – depending upon if it’s an “eating day” or a “non-eating day”

Salad snacks consist mainly of:

  • Cucumbers – chopped
  • Celery – chopped
  • Sweet peppers – chopped
  • Onion – chopped
  • Raw garlic – sliced
  • Zucchini or Squash – chopped
  • Avocado
  • Mustard or soy-free Veganaise
  • Hot sauce

Raw almonds can be used as a snack also.

Berries are the best fruit snack as they are the least sweet, then mango, pineapple or half a banana can be eaten occasionally

Another protein drink (mixed with water)

1 or 2 green juices are best, daily.

Every other day, eat one serving of baked, broiled, or grilled fish or chicken and a salad or green vegetables.

Coconut oil can be taken for nutritional needs as desired.

If hungry before bed, make another protein drink (mixed with water) – typically done on the nights that I do not eat a dinner meal.

This diet eliminates sugar, grains, soy, bad salts, bad oils, and dairy.

In my experience, this is a healthy diet and one that has been promoted by doctors I have conferred with.

Here’s a video that explains a bit more about why I am doing an intermittent fasting type of diet:
