Preparations: detox n cleansing

Detox may be necessary when we begin a new regime of a diet.


Eno fruit salt could be helpful in limiting acidic condition of your stomach.


And how about some Sat-Isabgol herb(known as Psyllium husks/powder/plantogo ovata?


I realized that somehow we didn't purchase fruits since last few days as family was to bing on non-veg food during Xmas vacation. So, I gathered whatever we had...they don't look that frest,do they? This was for the next day.Coz my vegan diet would start tommorow.Hmmm...kids want me to have a last supper of some non-veg dishes.

Welcome 2012

Welcoming 2012 may mean lot to different people. One thing is common though: drinking and eating a lot. I would have also gone that way but for an urgent need to address my health.

So,for me,welcoming 2012 have a theme:

Good-bye non-vegitaranism (2011),Welcome Veganism (2012).

Inspite of what I am writing now, I need to oblige some family commitments.

Veganism-my style

So after more than one year of trying to initiate in to Veganism, it looks that I finally may become Vegan. But wait. This veganism of mine is for my own convinience and therefore it is different from the normally understood Veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.

My departure from the above definition is obvious;it is limited to food/diet only.

It would be very difficult, and not-so-affordable,to fetch items/raw materials that is construed as 'vegan';instead I shall try to use normally available material. For example, in case of noodles, it will suffice me to use Maggi instant noodless or similarly available '2 minute' type of noodles. Similarly I will be using 'tastemaker' that is readily available.
