Dr Jude recommended a new diet plan for me. Requires a strict diet and an hcg supplement. I’ll post more later. Today and tomorrow I am eating what I want fat-wise prepping for 21 days of no fat!

REMEMBER TO GO TO JUDE’S THIS WEEKEND FOR THE RAW FOOD WORKSHOP!! I can’t go because I am already going camping with some friends–but there is still time to get yourself registered! See more details in the following post.
Y’all pay attention. My next wellness day is June 28, Monday. I haven’t done a thing for myself. As far as weight loss is concerned anyway. Been upset for a month over some guy who as they say must just “not be that into me.” Although he wafts and wanes about that…so what’s a girl to do. I finally decided it was time to quit thinking about him and start thinking about myself again. This coming weekend I will be camping with some friends. Traditionally, I thought of campouts as a time to put meat in a fire. But this particular weekend I will be with some people with a vegetable reverence. And yes, I have longed to “go vegetarian” many times in my life. Many times I have. And each time I have felt better and lost a few pounds without much effort. I know my body works better on such a diet, even if it is carb-high. So, instead of packing firelogs and hotdogs, I am loading up on fresh fruit, yogurt and raw nuts and seeds for my weekend. Will be a lot easier and cooler to eat like that anway.
And I am thinking of it as a jumpstart to my Monday with Dr. Jude. Maybe I can even sweat off a few pounds while I am at it. I will be camping on a hot weekend in little shade in the breeze-less flatlands of North Carolina. I must be crazy!
So after my weekend of mainly fruitarian and raw living, and a day of wellness with Dr. Jude, on Tuesday I am back in the traditional Dr’s office to get my blood pressure checked. Mustn’t forget to pack the pills for the camping trip. And hopefully I will be down a few pounds from last time. Will report back here later next week on the experiences and the weight!
You can see more of me if you can’t get enough here!

Wellness Cottage Offers Raw Foods Workshop
Learn How to Incorporate Raw and Living Foods in Your Diet
Stuart–VA — June 7, 2010 —Over the last several years, eating raw and living foods has drawn much attention because of the wonderful benefits of incorporating this healthy life-style into daily life. It has long been known that integrating fresh fruits and vegetables into the diet has amazing benefits, but many people who want to make this healthy choice have no idea how to start.
“Many people really do want all of the benefits of eating raw and living foods,” said Judith Toscano, Wellness Practitioner, owner of the Wellness Cottage in Stuart, Virginia, “But they just have no idea where to begin. A lot of people think that when you eat raw foods, you are stuck eating nothing but salads, seeds and nuts and celery sticks–but eating raw is so much more than that. It can be a very rewarding, life-changing experience.”
Dr. Jude has been eating raw for over twenty years. She started by growing her own sprouts and by soaking nuts and seeds for their extreme nutritional value and then she began to expand her skills to creating gourmet raw food.
“You wouldn’t believe how wonderful it is to create different pestos out of fresh herbs and serve them over zucchini pasta,” Toscano said. “And it is so easy and economical for people to grow their own lettuce and sprouts these days.”
Anyone Can Learn
Dr. Jude is offering a three-day workshop entitled “Raw and Living Foods Workshop: Three Day Challenge,” beginning on Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27. The workshop begins every day at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. In the workshop, participants will learn the basics of living food lifestyle, how to grow seedlings and sprouts, the benefits of nuts and seeds, how to culture foods, such as carrots and cabbage, how to create cheese, and milk out of seeds, the importance of detoxification, how to plan menus, and how to prepare gourmet and filling raw food entrees.
“Every day of the workshop has been carefully planned to help participants learn all they can about the benefits of eating raw and how to prepare and incorporate principles of eating raw in their lives. Each day has an instructional component, a hands-on food preparation time and we will enjoy delicious and nutritious raw snacks and lunches,” said Toscano. “The workshop is great for people who are curious about eating raw, those who have been eating raw for years, and everyone in between.”
The workshops are $65 per day, or $175 for all three days, which includes all foods, supplies, meals, snacks and instructional workbooks. Also, participants completing the three-day workshop will be awarded a certificate for recognition as a Raw Food Enthusiast.
The workshop is held at the Chocolate Moose Bed & Breakfast, 117E Blue Ridge Street Stuart, Virginia. Reservations are required and seating is limited. Guests wanting to stay overnight may do so at the rate of $75 per person.
