Re - Above Post:
I never knew it would be so easy to sprout like so. It only takes about 3 days with a couple of rinsed throughout the day. I just use old jars, although much larger than the smaller ones I soak in. I have yet not found Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, so am just using Lemon for my acidic water. My main goal with soaking is to drop the lelves of Phytic Acid I have read so much about. That I worry less about mixing the anti-nutirints with susceptible foods. (especially my raw greens!) Using the smaller Jars for soaking, whilst allowing enough room for absorption - keeps the cost down on the use of lemons.
KEEPING COSTS LOW:
Currently, whilst taking on board the pros & cons of this and that type of food, raw Vs Cooked and a million over concepts ... I have to admit that my income limits not only weather I eat organic or not, but also how much of one food type I can have over another. I believe learning the art of soaking allows me to negate the cons that come with eating plant foods we are not normally made to eat. Reading up on the transition into Oats and Legumes has revealed much of the cons to me, however I was not born into this world 10000 years ago. The same limitations I see with the Paleo Fad (Unsustainable land mas/resources) - I find with affordability.
Cutting out animals products (one of the most effective means to cutting green house gas ... more than all the oil and machines put together YYADDA YADDA bla bla ...) has greatly reduced the cost of my food intake. Sadly the most important foods like, Raw Clean Organic Vegetables and Fruits are incredibility expensive!!!
How so - Even those with a J-O-B meeting the standard cost of living complain about the high costs associated with Juice Feasting. Currently in these F-A-D-S with eating so clean, the cost of living becomes quite extreme. It's something that's been frustrating me, however I am working on the best alternatives I can come up with. I think I will have to term it:
Damage Control:
The Art of Living ... OFF Toxic Food:
"Just throw together this and that mix and soak you soft green in that" ... comes the common response on ridding pesticides from our leafy greens. Then comes the doom and gloom with how the soils grown from have fuck all minerals. The story just gets fucking worse. SO - what can one do when currency limits choice? I'm not a fan of acidic washes on green leafy veggies - I need to research more on the damage done with that. I'm also yet to research weather cooking at whatever temps, can actually be more beneficial with regard to the consumption of toxic vegetables Vs Cold Pressing them as I currently do both - press and make soups.
Ultimately -I advocate most importantly ... become our own tests! ... Search the Dirty Dozen List -
I think that's an excellent place to start with the transition into organic whilst yet limited by income.
Thus far for me - The savings on no longer eating meat, diary and eggs have indeed enabled me to consider introducing some organics foods that correlate with the most toxic soft leafy greens. The eating Less makes this more achievable as well. The Soaking helps with toxicity and digestion. Food preparation, various methods of heating or not heating, synergy of food types selected, layered and used are all forms that can further be employed to better utilizing food. More over - Identifying what parts of our broken anatomy need repairing so they can better help us live in such a toxic world.
Learning to drive the cost of consumption down through some of those issues/techniques/considerations, I have already mentioned above can help to meet some of our needs with regard to consuming more to heal and choose less toxic foods. I think learning to make our own super foods is KEY with regard to eating less, but still feeding our bodies needs, otherwise under-eating will only contribute to obesity and more ongoing illness.
Fasting whilst it can be hugely beneficial, takes a long time and education to do optimally. It is not a form to be undertaken for weight loss, although many will try for such a short cut. It works, I know now. I could prep myself over the next two months to do another one to two weeks of water fasting. But having since learned the importance of how we eat when coming of such healing routes, is what makes or breaks us. Add to that, how we hold all this information, expectation and learned experience as we go from day to day. Again - Goal setting tends to lead one more into escape. My goals are only defined by how I live from day to day.
Forgive me as I now lose track and spiel away. Yesterdays I was 89kg dead on - Today I am 87.7KG ... what's it all mean, what did I do differently over the course of three days ... how did I move, eat, sleep, shit, piss and drink? What did I consume and how did I prepare it and yadda yadaa yadda ...
I got a good idea between all the variables I just mentioned ... I've pulled into the equation a little exercise ... Something that is now only a means to an end, as opposed to a favored mechanism. I've already gone on about how exercise is quite a negative impact in my life. More the compulsion and mind set that drives me to vanity, injury and insanity. It's been slow to come back to! I am only doing it on days where I have been choice on nutrient dense foods combines with well timed rest and low stress events!!! Many other variables in the right combination leading me to feel uplifted with feet that seem to be getting lighter with each passing week. Currently I have been gingerly jogging during such high energy states. The effort combined from my last run ... with the last few days of sustained and control intake with energy in Vs out ... is what resulted in the 1.3kg loss.

Righto - I can now feel the vegetable juice doing its things from early this morning (despite have that drink being commercialized grown) - it's been a few days now and my state is ready for a little zoning on the side of some bush road.
The only other note I can make is learning to sleep on an empty stomach has relay proven itself to me, over the fad of snacking before bed. I truly believe that doing so is more a sign of weakness that leads comfort to just yet another unneeded distraction. Bed on an empty stomach with my last meal around the 5 hour mark sees me waking up more with much better results ... both with the numbers, but more importantly for how well I slept and how well I feel.
That's wraps ... Until Next Post.
