Cacao always makes me feel wretched. I wish it didn't because it tastes good (understatement, it's bloody chocolate!). Even when I have a little bit I wake up the next morning with a headache and sore eyes (in a squinty, hangover kind of way).
I remember doing something like this in kindergarten with our daily chores. It makes health and lifestyle goals seem so much less daunting.
This idea? Gold star!
I do this too. It's cheaper, requires less packaging, and you can be sure that the ingredients are fresh. I use hemp seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, dried mulberries, coconut flakes, and bee pollen.
Lately I've been putting in horsetail, nettles, red raspberry leaf, chasteberry, or holy basil. If I'm just going for taste, a chia mix. Oh yes.
I've pretty much quit caffeine, although I will have a cup of earl grey (love that oil of bergamot) i...
I'm off fruit, very very rarely will I have sweet fruit and usually with other foods. Savory fruits I'm fine with.
Pls note that tho I say high protein, there is still 5-8 servings of veg a day. Like lunch, thats often 2 veg and lots of herbs, and then a couple small chunks of (raw milk) cheese...
I'd answered the guy asking in his comments... here it is. I'm not all raw, nor vegan, just so ya know.
Meal 1 protein is a power bar. I've been working on a good raw one but its not perfect yet (previous version contains a fiber-based sweetener and soy protein powder, getting an all, or mostly-raw version created is in progress).
Meal 2 is usually eggs or cheese -- raw milk & veg enzymes for the cheese, eggs are usually hard boiled just because I'm at work... yolks are great in a smoothie raw. Always with some veg.
Meal 3 is nuts, mono meal
meal 4 is the cooked mixed meal, so I might do meat, soy products, all veg, cheese, eggs, beans, WHATEVER I'm in the mood for and always a nice salad. This is the social meal, I share with my hub and often friends, often eat out, so I do not stress it. The day centers around this meal and making it joyful.
Meal 5 is more nuts, or another bar, sometimes I make a "TV mix" of nuts, rasins, cacao nibs. This meal I sometimes skip if dinner was late or filling.

I am sure there will be willing followers for whatever. Some people like to follow orders.
This has always been one of my healthier alternatives. However, usually our pizzas were done on French bread. Not the best healthy food mind you, but much better than restaurant pizzas!
Is about de-calcifying the body that can give us stones, cysts, scars, hardening of the arteries.
I joined this program a few months ago and it includes a pass to see him in Costa Mesa, California (near Los Angeles, the City of Angels thankfully)...
I have a wonderful, close friend and we like to go out and talk over dinner, just the two of us, as they say.
He can handle drinking.
Last time, I had one 16-oz organic beer and I was hung over all the next day till 7pm.
I see why they call it ...
