Day 3

Cup of hot water with lemon, drink cooled before breakfast. Drink 2 liters of water during the day and also herbal teas.
Breakfast was raw oats with rice milk (can use soy milk). 
Snack was a collection of raw vegetables: carrots, celery, cauliflower and baby corn. Followed by rice cakes (Kallo brand). All from Taste.
Lunch:

Soup made with homemade chicken broth, brown rice pasta, carrots, celery, onion and garlic (sauteed in olive oil) a little bit of chicken.
Salad of greens, fresh parsley and oregano, small amount of little cubes of goat cheese (hard variety from Jason/Marketplace) and a dressing made of olive oil, lemon, sea salt and garlic.


(The broth was made from chicken legs and frozen bones from previous meals, I used a bit of the chicken meat in the soup. If you collect all chicken bones from roasted chicken etc and cook a whole batch at once for a few hours and add a bit of lemon (to draw out minerals into the soup) and enough salt you will end up with a beautiful broth. You can freeze small portions and store it in zip locks in the freezer for easy use).


Snack: piece of wheat-free bread (see recipe) with herbal tea and teaspoon honey.
Dinner: brown rice with curry chicken (grill chicken breast sprinkled with curry powder, salt and a bit of oil, I cooked a lot so I also have some for tomorrow). With Indian cabbage.
Lots of water (2 liters)!

1 medium cabbage
1 tablespoon (T) light olive oil 
1/2 teaspoon (t) mustard seeds

Mix dry ingredients on one bowl. In another bowl beat the egg, beat in the milk, honey and oil. Add wet to dry ingredients, with a minimum of strokes. Will be soupy. Pour into greased 8 inch square baking pan, cake tin or muffin pan. Bake 20-25 minutes (knife inserted comes out clean).
