Weekly Weigh-In
FRUIT!!!!
Add all fruits. Lots of grapefruits and berries. Tomatoes are ok.
No bananas, watermelon, or grapes.
Pretty simple. And only 13 days until Halloween, and my next cheat day!!
I did not do very well on my working out, at all. I did not even try. It is the thing I hate the most, especially when I am not feeling well. In between trying to figure out if this diet was tyring to kill me, or just a horrible sinus infection...I could hardly muster the energy to do my household chores, let alone 30 minutes on the tread mill. I am hoping to try a little harder this week, I am hoping, hoping, hoping. I KNOW I am not going to keep on losing weight if I don't get up off my butt!
So, here is to the next two weeks, FRUIT, exercise and Halloween! Go, Fight, Win!

Detox Day 1
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Detox Diet
First TWO Weeks
Meats: Chicken, Turkey, and Fish. Eggs are OK. No red meat or pork.
Vegetables: You can eat as many green vegetables as you want, but no peas or beans. Red potatoes and avocados are ok.
Do not use bottled salad dressing. Make your own with lemon, garlic, olive oil, tarragon, vinegar, and pepper.
Nuts: All nuts but no peanuts.
No salt. No dairy. No grains.
Drinks: Drink lots of water. You can add a lemon or lime to your water. V8 juice, carrot, celery or any other vegetable juice is fine. Almond milk and unsweetened tea are ok too. No soda of any kind.
Snacks: Carrots, sardines, or Quaker Rice Cakes (Unsalted or Butter Popcorn flavored only.)
Weeks 3 & 4
Add all fruits. Lots of grapefruits and berries. Tomatoes are ok.
No bananas, watermelon, or grapes.
Weeks 5 & 6
Add beans, peas, and peanuts.
Weeks 7 & 8
Add cereals, breads, and pasta. Add one whole grain each week; corn, brown rice, wheat, etc. This is the best way to pick up any hidden grain allergies.
General Principles
This plan is critical to adjust your metabolism. When the liver is full of sugar, it keeps your blood sugar at a level that maintains the addiction and metabolic problems. You will emerge with your sugar cravings gone.
DO NOT GO HUNGRY. Eat every hour if necessary. Do not count calories. If you are full you will stay away from foods to avoid.
DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF.
Drink fluids before every meal.
Eat breakfast as a king, lunch as a queen, and dinner as a pauper.
Plan ahead so you don’t get caught hungry around bad food.
Recruit family members. This detox is very hard without support.
Again, NO DAIRY, RED MEAT, GRAINS, OR SWEETS.
Let's do this thing!
Do not use bottled salad dressing. Make your own with lemon, garlic, olive oil, tarragon, vinegar, and pepper.
No salt. No dairy. No grains. (OUCH! I love salt, especially when I am eating a lot of veggies, this will be one of the hardest parts for me.)
Drinks: Drink lots of water. You can add a lemon or lime to your water. V8 juice, carrot, celery or any other vegetable juice is fine. Almond milk and unsweetened tea are ok too. No soda of any kind. (Already 4 weeks soda and caffeine free, yay me!)
Snacks: Carrots, sardines, or Quaker Rice Cakes (Unsalted or Butter Popcorn flavored only.)
And there you go, not too hard. For a detox diet it still has a lot of options. It is only a couple weeks, and then I can add on other foods and fruits! The hardest part for me will be no salt, making my own salad dressings, and no cheese.
Also, starting today I am starting weekly weigh-ins again (I am never good at this part, I loathe the scale). Every Sunday I will weigh in, and report on the previous week's workouts.
I am really excited about this, and I hope I can find some of this enthusiasm tomorrow morning when my alarm goes off at 6:30am telling me it is time to START.
