Food Log - Week 1

Introduction:

We started this log just as a way to look back.  We later realized that this is exactly some of our friends are looking for in helping them getting started with Life Natural diet.  Now this is also useful for us to smile back at ignorant people who is making fun of Life Natural diet. I am sure anyone who is going to watch this series of food log will appreciate the richness and varieties of this diet.

Snake Gourd Salad

Method:

Optional:
Add Curry leaves + grated Coconut in this salad.

Snake gourd, Green gram sprouts,

Cauliflower & Capsicum Salad

Method:

Cut the Cauliflower & Capsicum into tiny pieces. Add finely chopped Tomato and Onion along with these vegetables and mix thoroughly and eat.

Optional:
Add Coriander leaves or Curry leaves + grated Coconut in this salad.

Note:
Prepare this salad only if the vegetables are grown organically.

Chayote, Radish & Beetroot Salad

Chayote, Radish & Beetroot Salad

Chayote or Cho Cho is called as Chuw Chuw in Tamil.

Method:

Grate Chayote, Radish & Beetroot separately. Add finely chopped Tomato and Onion along with these vegetables and mix thoroughly and eat.

Optional:
Add Coriander leaves or Curry leaves + grated Coconut in this salad.

Carrot, Cabbage & Sprouted Green gram Salad

Method:

Soak Green gram on the previous day for 6 hours. Wash twice and drain the excess water and put the green gram in another container before going to bed. Cover it with a lid and let there be a slight air flow. You will find the sprouted green grams in the next day morning.

Then take 1 cup of grated Carrot and 1 cup of finely chopped Cabbage. Mix all three items together and eat.

Optional:

• Add a small quantity of finely chopped Cucumber and a few Curry leaves. You may also add few drops of Ginger extract and grated coconut in this salad.
• Jaggery powder can be mixed while eating.

Note:

Instead of Ginger extract, you may add few drops of Lemon. In that case, do not add grated coconut. Eating lemon and coconut together is a wrong combination.
