Hey all (whoever you are)! Today is day 11 of this nutritarian thing. I thought I should at least document my thoughts, feelings, successes, and failures associated with this style of diet whether anyone cares to read them or not.
Let's see if I can recap the first week and a half of what's happened since my husband and I started this journey...
In the first few days, I definitely was dissatisfied with all of the things that I couldn't consume. I had mad cravings for burgers, ice cream, cookies, diet coke, coffee, yogurt, mac and cheese... pretty much everything. I say 'mad' because when I didn't give in to these cravings, they definitely made me grumpy!
That being said, after eleven days under my belt (which is already about 9 pounds slimmer) I absolutely can't deny feeling as great as I do! And every single day, the temptation to snack on fatty, sugary foods has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller. (So have my waist and thighs!)
My headaches, back pain, and fatigue have miraculously disappeared as well.
Just sayin'.
I don't want to turn this into a testimonial, per say, but I wanted a place that I could purge my brain of all the food-related thoughts floating around while my body is purging the 'bad stuff' that has caused whatever damage I've done to it by eating a typical american diet for 23 1/2 years.
I'm really excited for this change--I may still be saying that for my benefit as much as yours--and for the changes in the lives of the loved ones who are crazily diving into this way of eating with me!
Today's lesson:
Wilted/soggy vegetables are really difficult to eat.
Note(s) to self:
Do not eat week-old green peppers. Also, do not let leafy greens freeze, even by accident. They are slimy when thawed out and extremely difficult to force into your mouth after so many bites.
