I wasn't going to tell you this. I was afraid you wouldn't understand. But I realize now that I have underestimated the level of interest and acceptance our friends and families have in understanding the science of nutritional excellence.

So, over the next 12 days, we're going to be water fasting. While most everyone we know will be knee deep in Christmas fudge, we're going to take it down a notch, get in our pajamas and let our bodies do what they do best. Heal themselves.

We're going to begin our water fast on Sunday, December 20, 2009. We plan to break the fast on New Year's Eve.

Until Next time, Check out these Christmasy-like nutritarian dishes we made for our first Eat To Live Holiday Brunch!

Our friends were creative and made delicious nutritious dishes without salt, oils, or animal products of any kind. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the belly.

If you're interested in finding out more about fasting and its benefits, we think Dr. Fuhrman's book, Fasting and Eating for Health: A medical doctor's program for conquering disease, is a fantastic read.
