The Plan Day 1

Day 1 of The Plan is pretty hard. I won't lie. The first three days are detoxing your body and if you've read my previous blog about the last time I went through a detox then you'll know that your body is fighting cravings. Lots of cravings!!! Especially for sugar (which could be due to a build up of yeast in your body. A build up of yeast can cause sugar cravings).  After the first three days, the menu is more generous as you can eat chicken, cheese, wine, even dark chocolate. The first three days are possibly the hardest. Especially if you hate carrots.

Breakfast was flax granola (made myself) with whole flax seeds, blueberries, and coconut milk. I actually like flax granola and it is nice for me to have a breakfast food I'm not allergic to (being all the gluten issues I have). Lunch was carrot and ginger soup I made ahead of time a few days ago. Jacob (my son) thought it was good, but I could barely stand the taste of the carrots. Also I ate broccoli with orange oil, mixed greens pear, part of an avocado and pumpkin seeds. An apple was a snack, and then for dinner I had to cook for the first time sauteed kale with vegetables, and put spicy coco sauce (a recipe provided by the plan) on it. Beet and carrot salad (yuck!) was also with dinner.

 This was definitely not an easy meal plan today- it does get easier, especially after the first 3 days as you are allowed to eat more items.. I guess we'll see what the value of it was at the end- because that's the only way to know whether something was worth all the trouble. To give it all you have and put the time into and see. 20 days is not a long time to eat healthy at the very least and try something new.

One day down, nineteen to go. Follow along and join me on my quest! They'll be ups and downs and a few nervous breakdowns I'm sure, but it promises to be an interesting journey! Stay healthy and happy my friends and stay tuned!
