The first two days were brutal for me. I LOVE coffee in the morning, carbs, salt, butter, more carbs, cheese, and a glass of wine at night after the kids go to bed. So with the start of this cleansing diet, I started off with a nice headache, transitioned into the shakes, more headaches, and major fluctuations in my energy levels. Oh, and did I mention the sugar/salt/carb cravings and constant feeling of hunger?!
Its been 5 days now and I feel like I'm over the hump. My body has gotten used to the new diet of protein, vegetables, smoothies, lots of hard boiled eggs, and the daily flax seed oil/psyllium powder recommendation. By the way, have you had psyllium powder before? It is dis-gus-ting!! I'm not craving carbs anymore {unless you count this weekend when we ordered fries for the kids and the smell drove me crazy}, the headaches and all other side effects are gone, and the food tastes better! Oh, and its working.
So this was my uber-healthy dinner last night, Day 28. Grilled hamburgers with sautéed onions and peppers in low-sodium broth and garlic, all on a lettuce bun. My side for the evening was some brussels sprouts - also sautéed in the broth garlic mixture, tossed with flax seed oil and pepper. It. was. delicious. I'm sure I wouldn't have said that on day one!
