For lunch I blended a bit of tasty green drink (powder of fruits and veggies) with coconut milk, coconut water, pomegranate juice and fresh mint. Then I mixed up my mung beans and rice from the night before with some lettuce and goddess dressing (that's probably cheating ;).
Since the food I'm eating isn't very heavy I end up being hungry at odd times of the day and graze more then eat the usual 3 meals. At around 4pm I had another bowl of mung beans and rice then took a long walk with Peter and Iggy (our chihuahua).
For dinner I made some new mung beans and rice and steamed some veggies. This round was not very satisfying so I ate a little more a couple of hours later. My tummy felt a little funky from all the mung beans - they are a pretty thick little bean and even after simmering for an hour they still have a little raw texture to them. [side note: apparently I bought the wrong type of Mung beans - I need Yellow Split Mung Beans... and need to stop by an Indian market for those] Usually if you do the complete PanchaKarma Vijaya will make all your Kitcheri for you. I am doing a mini-PanchaKarma and the meals aren't included but I can see how that really is the way to go. Not only does it make sense when you're busy to have someone else make your food for you but it takes out the guess work, tracking down the ingredients then cooking them well. Luckily for the first 5 days I can eat more then just Kitcheri - phew...

Actually Mire, you need to do the oil pulling before you put anything in your stomach in the morning, and if you haven't stopped taking your herbs yet, you do that during PK (panchakarma).
