Benefits of Eating The Shaolin Temple Diet

At the time of writing this, Don and I are midway into our fourth week of eating the Shaolin Temple diet.  We have really been enjoying this experience over all, despite a few glitches.  I have taken pictures of our meals, or most of them, every day.  

Here are more food photos, a list of benefits, and a few of our glitches.

Pan Fried Tofu w/ Shiitake Mushroom Gravy

First, the benefits:

• We are loving the food!
• We are feeling really good eating this way
• Easy to digest, no bloating or gas
• Meal prep has become very stream lined
• Shopping has become very stream lined – once you pick up some things that you are probably not accustomed to buying, it becomes a breeze.
• The Eight Treasures Summer Congee recipe has actually helped reduce my power surges (a.k.a. hot flashes) quite a bit.  Go figure, hot congee every morning during peak heat here in the desert southwest.
