You need all the nutrition and enzymes you can get from the plant based foods you eat. When you over cook your vegetables you lose a lot of the nutrition and eliminate the beneficial enzymes. Along with the lightly cooked vegetables also eat some fruits and vegetables raw each day. Salads are great but also consider making a green drink. Here’s is a simple recipe I make almost everyday. Take a blender or better if you have it or can buy one, a Vita Mix or other high speed blender. Put in a hand full of fresh kale, a small bunch of fresh Italian parsley, a sprig of celery, maybe a small chunk of cabbage, one or two cored apples, one or two cored pears and a wedge of lemon with the peel on.. Put in more than one apple and pear for how sweet you want it, you can also play around with different fruits, sometimes I also put in berries, like blue berries. This green drink does not taste like it may look, the fruit mixed with the vegetables gives it a slightly sweet pleasant taste. The idea here is you get a big shot of fresh, raw vegetables and fruit, with very low caloric content and tons of nutritional and antioxidant content and fiber. This is a super healthy all fresh plant based weight loss drink.
