Day 1 Results

Yesterday was a rough day. I had very little in the house that I could eat and the green drink Jay decided to make was disgusting. He chose just kale with flax and pumpkin seeds and neither one of us could finish it. I drank from my glass for about an hour. I recommended that We put something else in with it. Today I am going to do a cucumber drink instead. I took the time last night to soak a bunch of beans and barley so I could make some food today. I had quinoa for dinner but because I was so ravenous I just grabbed a flour tortilla and stuffed it with quinoa and put on some taco sauce. After that I had lettuce with quinoa and taco sauce with it. The only problem is I'm not supposed to eat any salt or sugar and well... I need to figure out how to make some sauces without those but I think it is futile. I think for now I will just use vinegar. Today I am going to make a bean dip that I can eat all day with onions and garlic in it with some cumin... It won't taste completely right without the salt but it will suffice and should fill me up nicely. I'm lucky that I love vinegar to help me with salads. Over all I think with each day it will become easier. Hopefully with the preparation from last night I won't be so lost as to what to eat. Malnutrition isn't good either.

You're right, it well get easier as your body adjusts. Have you heard of agave (something like that,) it's a natural sweetener.

It still turns into sugar so I don't think I can eat that. I can have very minimum sugar and salt.

You are one AMAZING girl! I hope your new change in diet works wonders for you. We could ALL benefit from changes. I am interested to hear how it goes for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Try onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, AND ground oregano in the beans. You won't miss the salt as much with that last ingredient. A pinch of cayenne if you want some heat.

You are an inspiration. The first few days will be the worst, but you can do it. You're a very strong woman. :)

Love you Nicole.... keep it up...
