FRUIT AND VEG DIET
To cleanse out my body and to lose the extra weight I've got hovering around my love-handle area I've decided to go on a fruit and veg diet. I'm combining this with my recently enflamed gluten sensitivity to hopefully change the way I eat.

Until I see fit to stop, I will:
Eat as much as I like of any fruit that's not in the prohibited category. Smoothies will be my staple.

The following foods will not be consumed:
White rice
Gluten
Bread or baked goods of any sort, other than sprouted grain breads

The following things will not be consumed more than once every three days:
Potatoes
Sprouted grain breads
Sweeteners such as maple syrup and agave nectar
Earth Balance

The following things will not be consumed more than once a day:
Tofu, tempeh, etc.
Oil
Nuts

I will still drink coffee, because I love it so much.
