Indeed

You can also dip watermelon in honey glaze Or plain and grill it

I know sounds crazy

Sprinkle with goat cheese or feta crumbles and mint or lemon zest

Do you by any chance see a photo of it here?

Be interesting to ID it and try to get seeds.

Not fond of melon or coconut, but pina-colada popsicles are a favorite!

"What a dumbass."

I did not want to rush to judgement without some evidence of guilt. I searched the authors name, Emily Faber using bing and the first result was an obituary. I still don't know what she looks like so I withhold my judgement until further evidence is brought forth.

In 1955, the New Hampshire State Hospital had 6000 beds. Now it has 135.

Were there more crazy people THEN than there are NOW?

Not any more crazy people now, they just Democrats and moved to DC into politics

Watch “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”... it’s on YouTube and elsewhere. I’ve done that juicing for years, about every 3 months, for 5 days. The guy in the documentary did it for 30 days i believe and the results are amazing! I slighty modified his recipe, but it includes - Kale, apples, pears, celery, cucumbers, ginger and lemon. First time and for the first couple days you feel like crap, then you settle out and feel great! It does flush the junk out of your body, literally. Alot of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.

Did bloodwork before and after my initial couple of juicing cycles, over a 6 month period and I have to say, my cholesterol went down (240 to 180), blood pressure back to normal, triglycerides down and liver enzymes normalized (had elevated ALT/AST - fatty liver). Also help with that awful brain fog. It’s not the end all be all, but it wasn’t difficult and it worked for me. Eating a clean paleo type diet, no sugar or foods with additives, just clean meats, veggies and fruit. Still have the occasional fast-food in a pinch, but it’s rarer than it used to be.

Just out of curiosity, I juiced for four days straight. Pretty much the same items that you listed.
Went from 207 to 205 pounds and had a severe craving for rice with salmon afterwards.
Working 12-hour shifts didn’t help. Had to get the juicing items every day, and spend time making it before work -losing sleep in the process.

But I was surprised how yummy cucumber juice was.

“ The watermelon is great and I could get the papaya down but Cantaloupe is just plain gross.‘ *********** You probably just haven’t tried the best cantaloupe in the world; that being Pecos Cantalope grown only in Pecos, Tx area. Theyre world famous in Texas 😉...

Melons suck?

I'm a fan of meat melons. Bigger is better.

I woke up the morning after it all ended and immediately ate a fruit and nut bar...An hour later, I was very, very, very sick, followed by a brief period of intense dehydration. Not fun.

Imagine what a real breakfast of ham and eggs would have done for you.

Save yourself from all of that palaver you had to share.
One 14 day supply of Miralax powder in half gallon of Gatorade. Chill & Drink throughout the day until gone. Results immediately without having to think so hard.
Colonoscopy prep. Yeah, you’ll be cleansed.

I despise cantaloupe.

I have only eaten it willingly one time. I was 14 and I was invited to have a slice by a girl I had a crush on.
She was 15, blond, and was wearing a blue bikini at the time.
I ate the cantaloupe without question.

I went on an all meat diet a couple yrs ago. Lost 45 lbs in two months and felt great.

I’m particularly fond of torpedo melons.

"An hour later, I was very, very, very sick, followed by a brief period of intense dehydration. Not fun. Would I do another cleanse? Absolutely, but I’d be sure to listen to the full instructions, including the ones that specified how to transition off of the cleanse. In the meantime, I’m working to apply the lessons that I learned on this melon cleanse; I’ve shifted to intermittent fasting to continue on a journey of consuming more mindfully and incorporating more structure into my eating habits."

She's a dumbass.

I will stick with what I know works for me: meat and water only. No good reason for me to eat or drink any differently than I have for the last 26 months.
