Detox
Day One
Weight: 236 pounds
Body Fat 25 percent (according to our crappy scale, which I don't trust one bit).
Breakfast: Lemon juice in hot water, fruit shake with rice protein powder and flax.
Snack: Fruit shake, mint blend tea
Lunch: Brown rice, brocolli rabe with tumeric and garlic, vegetable broth, carrot juice, and a mango.
Thoughts: It is strange going from eating for pleasure to eating for fuel/nutrients. I mean generally my diet involves a combination of the two. I find it sad when the highlight food of your day has been brown rice - I did think that before I had the mango, which was pretty good.
In fact, after lunch, my exact thoughts were: "that was unpleasant."
I do feel a little "spacy" and fatigued but not as bad as I thought I would. So far I have not experienced the "coffee withdrawal headache".
The only other thought I have had is that I have noticed how unsweet everything tastes. I already knew that I have an adiction to sugar and sweets. I am just realizing how sweet foods dominate most of my diet.
I don't know for how long we will keep this up, but we have planned for a week. We'll see how it goes

is this some kind of a "special" diet?
just make sure you get enough protien. not getting enough may be why you feel dizzy. drink lots of water and eat when you are hungry. i've been dieting for longer than i care to admit, and i don't trust a diet that makes you restrict certian food groups. a diet that does not allow for a lean cut of fish or wobbly bit of bean curd or occasional dairy treat or bowl of pasta is no friend of mine! if you have to deprive your body to get results, it generally doesn't end up lasting. take it from someone who knows and learned the hard way... many times.
i don't mean to butt in. i'm an italian momma at heart. when people change their eating habits, i get worried. than i end up putting my two cents in. i'll stop now.
