10 Day Detox – 7 Days Down

It’s a fresh Monday morning and I would like to announce we made it through the weekend without a drop of alcohol touching our lips.

The food has been a breeze for me but I was concerned about how we would cope when that 5 o’cock Friday arvo bell sounded and we are always promptly sitting at the front with a table of pickies and a cold Corona. I know I should be keeping this unhealthy side of me from public, but as anyone who knows me would agree, I have a thing about honesty. It has been really good for me to do this along with my clients, to feel what they feel and tweek things as I go.

So, at 5pm I have to admit my whole being wanted that beer.. but we hung in there and enjoyed several bottles of S.Pellagrino and lime, which by the way really is a lovely drink, and I WILL be substituting with it much more often!

The rest of the group seem to be going well, with reports of weight loss, less pain in joints, reduced cravings

I have put a lot of effort into the meal plan, making sure we cook once and eat at least twice out of most meals. Knowing how busy everyone is these days there is no point in giving out glamorous recipes that no one has the time to make. It is so important to prepare, so I have encouraged everyone to spend some time on Saturday or Sunday so the week runs smoothly.

I think the goodie boxes (prepackaged ingredients and food for a hassle free week – for locals at added price) went well also with those who chose them. Although I have decided not to shop for fresh produce next time as we had no room in our fridge!!!!

Here are some of the meals we enjoyed this week, the Detox is gluten free, dairy free, soy free and importantly sugar free and low GI.

As well as being a Detox, you can choose to go one step further to an elimination diet which also excludes night shades (tomatoes, potatoes, capsicums eggplant) and egg free – these are not unhealthy foods but because they have a higher tendency of people having a sensitivity to solanine, an alkaloid compound produced. Considering I spent over $700 for a test to see if I was sensitive to anything, I think if you have a tendency to have inflammatory symptoms it is worth going the extra mile for 10 days (plus extra days to reintroduce each food), just maybe there is a food that your body is reacting to and it may make the difference when removing it from your diet.

I am running another 10 Day Detox on the 7th March, early bird price of $135 (plus postage) including $83 worth of detox-focussed nutritional supplements and as always lots of support.
