Day 3 of detox

icandoit

It is still going great. I spent a lot of time at whole foods today picking up things I never heard of. The food is great!!! The kids are even loving it.
I am noticing a difference in the way I feel. I am waking up not feeling tired and I am not retaining water in the morning. I have no cravings today.
I am eating every 3-4 hours and drinking lots of water and at night enjoying green tea.

We are having Quinoa with peaches, soy milk, hazelnuts, flax and all spice for breakfast in the morning.
Snack is almonds
lunch is sprouted tortillas, chicken, organic vegetarian beans, grilled onions and bell peppers with a avocado salsa.
Snack-sweet bell peppers with hummus
Dinner-lamb chops if I can find them for under $13 a pound.
Kids Bed time-hot green tea.

I have a question?

Is that what detox is?

What kind of detox are you doing? I am doing the 4.3.2.1. detox & diet from Whole Foods. So far so good! I am on my 5th day and have been doing great. Keep up the good work.

Some people do a liquid detox.
This detox is totally different. I am not eating dairy, glutens and eggs for 3-4 weeks. I am only eating fresh organic foods. Here is what I posted about this detox.

First of all-This book ( The Ultrametabolism Cookbook by Mark Hyman, M.D.) breaks things down so it is easy to understand.
It tells you what is good for you, what it does to your body. Same with the bad foods. What harm they are doing and why.
It also has a fabulous cookbook.
This detox and lifestyle change is broke down into 2 phases. Each phase has recipes that sound great. So, with this detox, it am doing the following.
Phase 1
In this phase you are going to clean up your diet. Getting rid of garbage foods, moving toward a diet of whole, unprocessed foods, and eliminating foods that you may have sensitivities to will help you start the weight-loss process and reboot your metabolism.
This detoxification phase helps you quickly reset your metabolism. It is designed to further what you started in the preparation phase by removing the most common food allergens-gluten, dairy, and eggs-and introducing whole, healing food. During the 3 weeks you are in this phase, you may lose 6-11 pounds and start to feel refreshed and healthier.
Besides weight loss, you can expect to feel more energy, sleep better, and get rid of chronic sinus problems, digestive problem's and headaches. Part of the healing occurs because of all the junk you are eliminating, but most occurs because you are introducing delicious whole foods.
Then when you finish phase one, you enter phase 2. You will slowly start introducing eggs, and other foods. It teaches you to understand how your body accepts the food. It has you keep a journal of how you feel after you eat something.
It goes on and on.
What I want to point out is-detox does not mean fasting here. You eat sprout bread in place of the white flour breads. You eat bright colored foods. You don't go more than 4 hours without eating. It has the recipes broke down for phase 1 and 2. It is simple. In place of dairy use soy. Fruit juice and caffeine are out. Green tea is in. You are eating lamb, chicken fish. Fruits, veggies. You will be satisfied.
