Some are seasonal live guava, figs and lychees.
An old flatmate of mine used to pour flaxseed oil on his cereal, his nutritionalist told him he was dangerously low in something or other, and that had the highest concentration in it. I'd never heard of it before then, nor tried it.
Dark chocolate and red wine, yum.
I don't know if you noticed, but it's largely a Mediterranean diet. I thought there would be more fish in there.
I researched a lot of these so called "cleansing" diets too - most are along the same lines, fruit only in the morning, vegetables for lunch, minimal meat. It makes sense, but is quite impractical.
Giving up alcohol and coffee for a few extra years life when you're decrepit sitting in a chair dribbling? That's a BIG ask!
Okay, okay, but you had me with the Dark Chocolate & wine.
Perversely I also eat 21 of the 25. I'll definietly look into the flaxseed. Figs & lychees kinda hard to come by where I am and the tofu just makes me retch. Sorry Ali, but it would be remiss of me not to make use of my god-given canine teeth and tuck into the odd steak or two!!

Im sad to see that 2minute noodles and bake beans arent on there since thats Basically what I live one. Though I eat a lot of avo's, so Ive got one down.
Hi Nic, I tried dried figs this week, yuk. Any ideas on how to use them up in cooking or something. They tasted soft obviously but with loads of little crunchy seeds inside. They where weird. So as I type this there sitting in my kitchen.
I have also bought this week Quinoa, my daughter has Coeliac. It looks like cous cous in size, but I need ideas on how to make it interesting.
Ya know it's rather funny I eat most of that stuff anyways but I HATE flaxseed can't stand the taste of it and don't get me started on tofu that's just wierd tasting to me. Personally I am a meat eater and always will be. But on that note I have never done what you would call a diet and I still lost almost 80 pounds just from cutting back and riding my bike all summer took almost 2 years but I have kept it off. I had people ask me what I gave up and only 3 things on that list regular soda don't hardley drink much these days and white sugar other than that at white bread pasta and all.
Surprisingly I hit 14 out the list, which is actually surprising because I make no conscious effort whatsoever to "watch what I eat". I just eat things I like, and that taste good ROFL!

Oh, I didn't mean so much poor as in poverty, I meant having to fend for yourself.
I was a vegetarian during my Uni days, I ate mainly pasta or rice dishes, easy, if not a little drab.
Ha ha, I'm vegetarian too!
My mom's side of the family had heart disease, and I vowed it wasn't going to take me down. I take the Omega-3s, cook with canola oil, use Olivia, which is a margarine made from olive oil, eat lots of cereal, and avoid the trans-fats whenever possible. It's really not that hard to do when you know what to look out for.
and my favourite bread is whole wheat and seeded with linseed...it's divine
hmm... I gues I'm healthy?
