deirdrej1tx Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Day 1 was easy peasy almost a non-event. Truth be told, I haven't eaten processed foods in a long time. But I had been eating cheese again, and too much dark chocolate and wine. I know I will miss those, but I'll deal with it for 30 days and then we will see. Day 2 started off fairly easily as well, but by mid-afternoon I noticed a headache starting. This continued all evening and I woke up with it. Almost like a hangover. Day 3 is starting off a bit better. I couldn't face eggs again, so I started the morning with a hamburger and avocado. I'm back to eating more protein than I've been eating for the last year, and I'm feeling more satisfied. I'm finding that lots of veggies and olive oil are wonderful, but I need my animal protein. What I'm needing most at the moment are suggestions for my first meal. My brain is in a rut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkai Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The hamburger sounds pretty good to me Are you needing fast meals or do you have time to cook? Soups, stews, casseroles, last nights leftovers are all quick and easy to reheat in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutlifr Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 About eggs.. I discovered that by adding ghee after the eggs are in the pan, and scrambling it into the egg, will leave your eggs just perfect, and tasting of ghee instead of egg... OMG it's so addictive! Don't over cook your eggs. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the eggs after cooking.. Soo deliciois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deirdrej1tx Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Day 4 - all I can say is that coffee doesn't taste good this morning. So I'm drinking hot water. And I spent the night dreaming about accidentally eating forbidden food and being horrified that I had. I had dinner with my daughter last night, and while she drank wine, I sipped on kombucha. It actually felt just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennmari Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I find kombucha is a nice substitute for the times I want something more exciting than water I like the fizziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deirdrej1tx Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Day 4 is done - success! Went out to dinner and managed to avoid all non-compliant foods. Sparkling water instead of wine - OK, not wonderful but I'll survive. I get to test my will again at noon today - business lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deirdrej1tx Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Day 9 and I'm wanting to eat more fruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deirdrej1tx Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Day 10 - same story. I'm so accustomed to eating fruit after lunch and dinner, I feel at a loss if I don't. Any problems if I do so? Continuing to feel motivated. I haven't been tempted to eat something off plan, although when I see someone enjoying a glass of wine on TV I wish I could sit down with one too.

deirdrej1tx Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Day 11 I went for a short run yesterday, in spite of the heat. I didn't notice any diet-induced slowness as I did last summer when I tried another elimination diet plan. Mind you, I got nowhere fast, but didn't feel beaten up as I had last year. Score!

deirdrej1tx Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Day 12 The overwhelming feeling this morning is disappointment because my clothes don't feel any looser. Now I'm worrying about eating too much, especially too much fat. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It's only day 12 of a 30 day program. Don't start stressing about your clothes feeling looser.
