I try to balance my cravings by sticking to the center of the pendulum.
I do food combine as often as possible.
I like a fast every so often (with water, juice, and broth)

I do eat meat, but not every meal.

This works well for me, although I do have many things I still need to change. baby steps is my best path.

It's tough having a workout schedule and a yoga practice but I have basically cut meat from my diet. I don't digest it well. I eat a LOT of meat substitutes, fruits, veggies.. everything is organic. I refuse to eat otherwise and I eat local produce. It's tough. My yoga needs are so different from my workout needs..... maybe one day I'll switch entirely to yoga and drop everything else except hiking etc.

YAY!! Hubby is going on a diet (his crazy idea of a diet).. but this means I can eat better, and the way I prefer.

At this moment in time, I don't believe I can ever eat like a true yogi, but I have wonderful habits that reap many benefits of it.

and... coconut milk- yuck- worst thing I ever tasted- I do mean the worst!

and.... the troghology (food combining) is great for digestion. It is the lesser known part of yogic diet, but has been done all over the world for centuries. it is the main part of my healthy eating plan. It is easy to follow even if you can only eat crap food at the time (just have to know which crap you can eat together)

I first started it through marilu henner's "total health makeover" book, and have found research so many other places about it. I can really FEEL a difference quicker in energy and digestion.

just throwing that out there.
