And this was my Oriental Stir-fry lunch:

Noodles and king-sized prawns at the bottom of the bowl, slices of green, yellow, and red bell peppers, sweetcorn, bean sprouts, one big green leave like that (can't remember what it's called), mushrooms and teriyaki sauce. Toppings: Bird's eye sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, shredded chicken, spring onions, corriander, and something else.

EfemenaXY:
Anyway ladies - believe it or not, I had a GRASS drink. Proper grass and I kid you not!

I missed brekkie and doing my normal morning exercises at home, so this was the alternative - opted for a plain wheat porridge (no cream, no sugar) as usual - and a green crush (apples, cucumber, kiwi, lettuce, grapes, etc). Then decided to try out the grass thingy.

You know how it's done like when you go to the pub and order a shot of whisky or something similar? So I asked for one shot of grass drink. Omo you need to see the amount of grass that girl cut into the "grasser" juicer. Had to ask her if it was washed oh!

Anyway, even to drink the thing, see as my heart dey beat...kpom, kpom, kpom, as per "who send me?" And the smell? Gosh! It smelt very grassy! :DI eventually summoned up some dutch courage to drink it, but had to hold my nose in the process. Men see as dem dey laugh your sister. They even gave me a slice of apple to make it more bearable.

So, that's the long and short of my Thursday's experiment. It wasn't too bad sha. Afterall, they say grass is detoxifying.

Anyway, the very very dark green drink is the concentrated grass solution I had. Now it doesn't get much healthier than that, does it?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Horrible stuff. Had to pinch my nose shut to drink it. But if it works well for the body, who am I to complain.

EfemenaXY:

After Xmas, drink it for like a week and all those ijekuje will be duly detoxed from your body. As I said, na annual ceremony for me. They tend to have it in pots and would uproot and juice to order. Can't be sure if they wash them properly

Apparently, Naijababe does this too. So it's not that strange. I'll certainly try it again next week. Methinks t'is an acquired taste.

Lol @ Kimoni.

But Naijababe, the drink in this link of your looks extremely diluted compared to mine. So mine was really concentrated then.

Re: bitterleaf juice - yeah, I never got convinced to do it back home. Don't think I'll even do it now. All that bitterness? No way.

Efe has joined the health and fitness winches club officially

But based on this naijababe revelations I am tempted to try it . green gooey stuff don't scare me that much anymore .Please Abeg can I buy at normal green grocers or do I have to go to a specialist Health store.i am dreading all the parties and chop chop on this season.

Hubby thinks me sef don become winch with the way I dey screen my meals these days. But the day I discovered that you would need to do 502 burpees (I struggle with 40 sef) to burn large fries (not adding the burger or wrap) I just dey respect myself.

Had Eba with okra this afternoon but have paid penance with a 8km run and some other exercises.my husband was shaking his head cos even my 3 yr old Eba was more than mine.

This healthy living ish is hard man.

But my vain self loves the look on people's faces when they have not seen me in a while I don turn weight loss poster gal in church.

Re: the bolded What can I say?

You went for a run today? Didn't the snow showers reach your end?

Abeg, I'm sinning this weekend but with small sense sha. I'll always remember Chillisauce's comment about cheating being allowed but then, one shouldn't place the whole "expo" on one's lap!

I will repent and go for pennance on Monday via the grass drink route.

It Kuku did o that's why hubby was shaking his head

They say turkey (white meat) is good.

I'll still keep away from sugary drinks and sweet / chocolaty stuff (I hope) But come to think of it, if we've come this far - can't we successfully conquer the December and January festive temptations?

Abi o .. I actually think it's doable. Like you said turkey is ok especially as it will be roasted. Instead of over indulging on the desserts one can allow for a few and portion control too. Instead of a large piece of cake maybe half?
And yeah sugary drinks too.
I will really try not to go overboard .

I'm not worried about the turkey though. What I am skeptical about is the gravey. Isn't it fattening?

I think it depends on the serving/portion.

But 95 cal is a lot for an accompaniment sha o

Re: bitterleaf juice - yeah, I never got convinced to do it back home. Don't think I'll even do it now. All that bitterness? No way.

Yes it does look diluted, the real McCoy is almost forest green in colour

Damiso, na you be the real fitness winch, chai!!! You went for a run today

I am not worried about December, I started my healthy eating last October and rode out the festive period! If I can do it then, I can do it now. I drank wine like crazy on Xmas day though

Bitterleaf juice is terrible but any time I had a fever my aunt made me drink it and within 45 minutes I'd be running around

If i lived in naija today, I'd substitute kale and spinach with Ugwu and bitterleaf. If my taste buds can get used to celery juice, it can become acquainted to anything

So it's called McCoy. Okay, noted.

Don't mind Damiso jare.

Ladies, can I pick your brains? I've always fancied having a totally green but balanced meal. (Proteins, carbs, and vitamins). What can you suggest for me? Don't mind if it's brekki, lunch, or supper. I think what I'd really like to know is: Are there any green carbs out there?

The real McCoy as in the real thing na

For your meal, try grilled sea bass with roasted sweet potatoes/parsnips. Wash down with a juice of one apple, 2 sticks of celery, one carrot and thumb of ginger
