Day 6 Restaurant Test

Yesterday I tested gluten free rice pasta at a restaurant. Got to start eating out sometime right?! Well, today I weighed myself and I gained a whole pound! Right now there are too many uncontrolled variables at a restaurant. The GF pasta could have been a trigger food or just overloaded with salt and the weight was water weight. I will be testing this food in a few days at home where I can control what goes into the dish.

Day 5

Today I will be testing a new protein. Ostrich! I just picked this because I wanted to try something I never have before. Obviously you can try a meat you commonly eat like white fish, steak, lamb, duck or eggs.

Wake up:

Check weight

16 oz water with lemon

Dandelion tea

Vit. B12 & Norwegian kelp

Breakfast: 1 c. Flax granola, coconut milk, 1/2 c. blueberries

Probiotic

Lunch: Mixed greens, pumpkin seeds, carrots, beets, goat cheese

Snack: almonds and approved fruit

7:30 (no water after 7:30)

Dinner: Ostrich

             Roasted squash, kale, manchego salad

             

Dessert: 1 oz dark chocolate, red wine, or poached pear

Day 4! Did you say wine, coffee,cheese and chocolate???

Today I can start my day off with a cup of coffee and coconut creamer...gulp....ahhh... :)

Day 3

Not reactive to almonds or rice! Today chick peas are being tested.

Day 2

Today I added raw almond butter to my snack to test reactivity. Hopefully I'm not because I LOVE almonds. Brown rice was also added to the dinner menu.

Day 1

Done and going strong! Had some friends over for dinner and I stuck to The Plan. I even resisted dessert; apple cobbler and ice cream.

Day 1-3

First Things First 

My temperature has been under 97 so I will be doing the thyroid plan. 80% of women have thyroid issues making it difficult to loose weight (or just feel good) because of hormone imbalances (pregnancy, birth-control, medication etc). I'm not doing this plan for weight loss; I just want to feel better and get healthy! I will be drinking the water that is recommended for breast-feeding moms. Typically it's half your body weight in oz. if you are not feeding a hungry little one :) Plenty of water consumption is crucial for your body to get ride of everyday toxins.
