My Typical Menu

People often ask me what I eat in a typical day. Nothing about my day is typical but I will answer as best I can.

The first thing on my menu is not food for my belly but for my spirit. Yogic type stretching in a relaxed meditative state is very important for health and should be done on an empty stomach.

The first thing that passes my lips after water is fruit.

For lunch it's usually vegetables with raw nuts and/or seeds.

An afternoon snack might be sea vegetables such as dulse or bullwhip kelp.

Dinners vary and usually begin with a large salad with homemade dressing or fresh lemon juice and Essene bread with avocado or pate'.

Other dinners include spiralized vegetables with living marinara, curried vegetables, raw veggie-burgers, a sea vegetable dish or nori rolls (chopped vegetables on raw nori paper with avocado, or pate' inside and umeboshi paste) and unpasteurized miso soup (served room temperature) with finely chopped vegetables in it.

Recipes for all these dishes can be found in the recipe section at the back of the book.

There are many other foods that I eat, but it would be tedious and nearly impossible to list them all.

Since we are all different, what works for me might not work for you. But this diet does work the best for me, it has for many years, and I never felt better in my life!
