Did a 24 hour mung bean soup detox.  It went really well.  I felt great.  I feel like that is probably enough, just kinda wanted to get back on track from a couple "sweet tooth" meals that were not on my cheat day.  So I will just add the mung bean soup to my list of foods allowed.  It was easy to make and super nutritious, and pretty tasty too.

mono diet!

I am going to do a 3 day mono diet detox with mung bean soup.  See info below.  Hopefully 3 days.  It's new for me, we'll see.

Mung Bean Soup- Ayurveda’s detox nectar!

January 20, 2011

For a deep cleanse to the body, you can trya mono diet of mung bean soup perhaps after a few days of eating a light vegetarian diet to prepare your body gently. Mung beans are available from health food shops, Indian grocers and sometimes supermarkets. Try and get organic if you can and buy in bulk to reduce costs (though you will save money on this diet, as well as time normally spend preparing food!) They come in whole green variety, split green or split yellow. The whole green is most nutritious.

The soup recipe is highly nutritious and naturally detoxifies the body. It works by cleansing the liver, gall bladder and vascular system of any ama (undigested toxins). If you follow it for a few days you will lose weight, as well as any retained water and feel lighter, clearer and more energised- but you need to have a little willpower initially, though it does tend to get easier day by day.

As this is a powerful detoxification process, pick a time when you are not very busy, and can be less sociable if you feel like it. You can do this diet for anything from one to 7 days, or longer if desired and you are feeling the benefits.  Just try it for one day if you are not sure- and carry on if it feels ok. You could try one day a week, one weekend a month or go for the full 7-10 days to really cleanse the system. Please be aware of detox symptons such as tiredness, irritability, headaches and possible tears- these are all normal aspects of a physical and emotional detox.  NB: Please do not do this fast if you are pregnant, breast feeding, nor suffering from a long-term chronic illness without consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner.

The benefits of a mono-diet of such a light and easily digestible food include:

•    Cleansing the body of toxins and residues (including heavy metals) by cleaning all the body’s subtle channels
•    Corrects digestive fire (or agni)
•    Sharpening the mind, providing tranquillity, energy and vitality
•    Promotes weight loss, reduces swelling and water retention

Some other tips for your detox:

• To help loosen deep seated toxins, drink one or two teaspoons of ghee dissolved in hot water in the early morning on an empty stomach. If you are Vata type, add a pinch of Himalayan rock salt (from health shops), Pitta types should just have plain ghee, and Kapha types a pinch of an Ayurvedic herb called Trikatu, or else a pinch of ginger. This will help the process but you can also do the diet without these herbs- its so simple.
• Throughout the rest of the day eat only mung bean soup and nothing else! You can eat as much as you need to satisfy your appetite, and once the previous meal has been digested. This means leaving 3-4 hours in between each meal, waiting for genuine hunger to appear (not boredom!)
• Make up a fresh batch for each day, re heating only as much as you need for each meal so the meal is as full of prana (energy) as possible. For work and eating out, I find a food thermos works very well if you don’t have a kitchen at work. Buy a large one and you can even fit 3 meals in it for busy days. Try not to use a microwave as these are not very healthy- a subject for a future article.
• If you feel like a little variety, you can also add green leafy vegetables, pumpkin or courgettes to the mung soup, or make a completely vegetable soup and have this for one of the meals per day.
• If you are feeling weak or very hungry you can eat a little brown or white rice with the soup (well cooked) at lunch time.

Ingredients

1 cup whole green mung beans - soaked overnight
2 cup water + 1/2-1 to taste tsp. salt- to cook beans in pressure cooker
2 cup water - to achieve the soup
1 tbsp sunflower oil or ghee
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp hing (known as asafoetida in the West)
1 bay leaf                                                                 
1/2 tsp Turmeric                                                         

1 tsp mixed cumin and coriander powder
11/2 tsp ginger - chopped
1/2 tsp garlic - chopped
1 tsp or to taste Salt
11/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp raw sugar cane (optional)
Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Directions

Soak the mung beans overnight in water. Clean and finely grind ginger and garlic. Drain the mung beans, wash them two times and cook in a pressure cooker with the indicated amount of water until tender. It takes around 25 minutes, according to your pressure cooker. (The beans have to be broken.) If you use a regular pot, it will take 40-45 minutes for the beans to be fully cooked. Heat the oil or ghee in a large deep saucepan and add mustard seeds. When mustard seeds pop, add hing, bay leaf, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and do not allow to burn. Place the cooked beans with the fresh water and the remaining ingredients into the saucepan. Bring to a boil then simmer for a few minutes more. Add Lemon and Enjoy!

I have decided to add dark berries to my eating plan for all of the obvious benefits they have and feel okay about it because the glycemic index is low.   And I am also at a point where I do not want to lose any weight, but wouldn't mind gaining some more muscle.   But I will limit them to one cup max per day.  Going to try for a couple weeks and see how it goes.
That said...  I made pancakes with garbanzo bean flour and put blueberries in them.  What a treat!  Would like to try almond flour, but need to hit the store for that to happen.

Results

I am 2 weeks into this eating plan.  The only thing I have changed is my eating habits, and not all that extremely, I might add.  I exercise on a daily basis, and have kept the intensity and frequency consistent.  With that said, most changes in my measurements are based solely on this eating plan that I have adopted.
14 days
4 lbs down
2% body fat down
3 inches lost
For those who don't know me, I am a petite person already, so those are pretty significant numbers on my body.
And I feel great.
So,, to carry on!

This was extremely delicious and filling, not hungry at all for at least a few hours and I couldn't even finish it all.

8:00pm
So, I tried the Jorge Cruise flax muffin (flax seed, egg, baking powder, and olive oil thrown together in a coffee mug and nuked).  And in true Jenny fashion, I accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder.  DUHHHH.  It was a bit bitter, but I ate it (not realizing my mistake) with some of the lentil soup Chrissy made, and that just fixed everything!  So, I can't give a true assessment of the flax muffin, but I will definitely be trying it again... after I purchase some baking powder of course.

Travelling

We are on the road again for a standup paddleboard race.  2 days in Miami.  Sometimes on these weekend trips, we will have one dinner out, but otherwise we pack all of our food.  We have saved countless dollars and calories with this plan.  It really is easy, just takes a little planning.  We are not planning on dining out this weekend; so here is my food!

-raw nuts
-black beans cooked with red peppers, tomatoes & chilies
-avocado
-egg salad
-spinach
-raw red peppers and hummus
-shake stuff: protein, ground flax, beet juice, unsweetened almond milk, plain kefir and of course my magic bullet!
Everything can be eaten cold, we just pack a cooler
-OH YEAH, not pictured is the coffee.  We bring copious amounts of coffee.
