So big cheat?(HagenDaz Icecream bar?)
Strict diet? (i.e. cayanne pepper & lemon?)
The diet consists mainly of fruits, nuts and veggies....except no fruits with loads of sugar, and no veggies with starch, like potatoes and such.
And you can only eat fruit that amounts to 1/3 of the veggies you eat in a day....except for apples, which you can have as many of, as often as you want.
But no sugars, like sodas, candy, chips, crackers....no starch, like bread, pasta, etc.
Did I mention this diet lasts TWO WEEKS??!!!??!!!
It's not as bad or as restrictive as it sounds though....you can have things like hummus, peanut butter (as long as it is ONLY made of peanuts....no additives)....I made a trip to "Sprouts", which is like Wild Oats, and I stocked up today. So the desire to cheat should be less tomorrow.
Oh, and I didn't cheat THAT bad....just one soda, and a fruit roll-up thingy (made from 100% natural fruit juice).
Oh, and you can have proteins like tuna, shrimp or eggs once throughout the day too, if you feel like you'e getting weak or dizzy.
weak or dizzy, oh my!
Oh...and no dairy. At all.
Now, after typing all this and seeing it all printed out in front of me, I find myself asking what the point of this stupid diet is?
Well have you tried it before? Or somebody you know? How did you/they feel after the initial shock to your/their system?
All my inlaws tried it and had success. THey felt great after day 3, I think. I know I NEED to do it, because of all the tummy troubles I always have, but giving up my starches and sugar is like letting go a member of my family...it just hurts too much.
*tear*
Sounds... not that heinous! The cleanse that is :-P
so your 'one soda' caffeinated? sugar laden?
the fruit leather while concentrated sugar is definitely acceptable as a first day cheat. :-)
BTW your story about your wisdom teeth, ugh-ewee, so sorry, but it has been the only time I felt good about getting mine out early, thanks.
It was a root beer....no caffiene, but sugar galore.
I haven't said the worst part though....the diet is to cleanse the liver....which means...dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN,.......NO ALCOHOL!!!!!! Ugh.....so yeah...we'll see how long this lasts, hahaha.
Yeah, all my wisdom teeth were impacted, but the crazy thing is, what infected the one so I had to get it out, is that they had just started to scratch the surface to "erupt", so to speak, and I was eating chips and salsa. A stupid point of a tortilla chip scratched the heck out of the area where my tooth was coming up, and it never healed, and only got worse, until the dentist told me about the infection and that they needed to come out.
Yippee.
Moral of the story kids....junk food hurts, teeth maintainance is a pain in the booty, and apparently even after you fix a problem, it can just be a precursor to an even bigger one. Ugh. Gotta love the lymph nodes.
where'd you find the info on this diet, i've been thinking about doing something like this. can you send me where you got everything from.
I was totally stoked to try this until I read the no alcohol part, but I still might think about it.
you guys can't go 2 weeks without alcohol?!?!
i think it's been like a month since i had a drink and i'm fine with it lol
hmm oh yeah i forgot i had a margarita at dinner the other day
but yeah c'mon TWO WEEKS?
Hahaha....normally we can go without....but we're under stress here! Hahaha, j/k.
It's just a lot to give up all at once.
2 weeks, i can barely go 2 days.
does that make me an alcoholic?
No....it makes you me. Hahaha.
I actually have it all in a packet my mother in law gave me....I can see if she found it online, or somewhere else....I'll get it to you, though.
thanks :-)
