Saga of a Detox...Day 21

Today is the final day!!!!  Day 21!!!  I made it!!!

All in all it has been a great experience.  I feel healthy.  I have more energy.  I'm not craving all that "bad-for-you-cram-it down-your-face-food."  Benefits also include sleeping better at night and not waking up groggy in the morning, 10lbs. lost, no more swollen stiff hands or achy joints....and I can get my wedding ring on!!  Note:  wedding ring fits because fingers are no longer swollen.

The hubs has decided to give it a try.  So to celebrate his induction and my completion I made vegetarian chili: lentils, diced tomatoes, onion, collard greens, bell peppers.  It was delish!

Now, don't go thinking I'm going out having a mocha, ice cream, pizza and c-a-k-e.  Of course I want to.  For the next few weeks I'm suppose to re-introduce foods like grains, gluten, soy, dairy etc. back into my diet and see how my body reacts.  If my body doesn't like what I put into it, it will tell me through bloating, gas, swelling, etc.  I'm  suppose to start with grains first.  I think I'll go with quinoa, barely, oats.  I'm going to try and stay away from wheat altogether.   I'm on the hunt for a good gluten free cake mix.

Supplements are still in the mix.  Gastro-Fiber and SP Greens.  Also, 2 Complete shakes a day.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to clean out your system, jumpstart weight-loss, and just plain feel better.




I'm so glad I made it!!
