It’s lunch time on day one of my detoxification, and so far, I’m holding up ok.
The fact that I’ve only had 4 hours sleep doesn’t help. It’s hard to know if I’m tired because I am now a carbohydrate free zone, or because I haven’t had adequate beauty sleep.
At around lunch time I started to get a headache, but I’ve since had a salad with tuna and half a supplement bar, and I’m feeling ok again. With the exception of sore glands, which have been rather persistent for two weeks. Note To Self – mention this at the doctors on Saturday.
My preliminary visit post detox to my Naturopath saw me weigh in at 100kg, with a 118cm waist, and 118cm thighs. She also measured my chest because I was curious, but I shall not be sharing that!
So the hard and fast rules for weeks one and two are;
No non-vegetable based carbohydrates at all (with exception of Potatoes, which IS vegetable based, but also a no go item)
No sugar of any sort, including fruit and honey.
No artificial sweeteners
No alcohol – can someone pass me a tissue while I weep in mourning?
No caffeine of any kind – it’s just as well I like herbal tea
30 minutes exercise every day
No medicated items (because of the sugar etc), so no Lemsip or Strepsils for my sore glands… tea tree oil here I come.
I am finding it difficult to concentrate today, but with the lack of sleep I’m not surprised, and the general feeling of not wanting to be here doesn’t really help. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may fall asleep on the bus on the way home today.
There are worst things that could happen
Like, falling asleep while driving home
Or falling asleep while piloting a plane full of people across the country… but then again, they do have auto pilot, which in some instances hasn’t been working… hmm.. note to self – don’t fly Qantas
In addition to the No No list, I have the blood type list. I’m finding a lot of the recipies that I want to cook actually contain vegetables that my bloody type can’t handle well. So I’m substituting and becoming rather a whizz at Metagenics Program meets Bloody Type O. further note To Self – niche in market, devise Metagenics diet programs for various blood groups. Become rich AND skinny!
