Day One --
A good friend told me about this cool book she started reading and I was instantly intrigued. The idea is that the foods we eat react with our individual body chemistry and even some of the "healthy" foods can cause inflammation -- which in turn causes all sorts of disease. Suffering from an auto-immune disease, inflammation is second nature to me, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I was so interested, I got the book on Kindle and then the next day went out and bought the actual hold in your hands copy :-) I just can't seem to get the hang of finding what I want on the Kindle, no flipping through the pages. Did a lot of reading, got some of the foods and yesterday actually started "the plan." Did I say how awesome it is that Kevin agreed to do it with me!!!!
Here's the link if you're interested -- The Plan
So day one starts with weighing yourself (on a digital scale), drinking 16 oz of water and taking a liver detox supplement. Then 45 minutes later, it's breakfast time!! Flax granola (just flax, water, cinnamon, and vanilla) with blueberries and unsweetened coconut milk. Lunch was pretty good - carrot ginger soup, steamed broccoli with orange oil, and mixed greens with a diced pear. Snack -- finally something normal, just an apple. Supper was steamed kale with a turmeric coconut sauce and shredded beet carrot salad with pumpkin seeds.
I honestly thought the beet/carrot salad was going to be the hardest thing to eat with the kale coming in a close second -- was I ever wrong. Both were delicious!!! Breakfast was by far the hardest thing to get down. Luckily, in a few days I can switch that up a bit.
Good news is that I didn't feel hungry, didn't have any cravings and am down 1.2 lbs.
