Day Two - Cleanse

Weight:  157.2
Weight Change: -1.0 lb.

So first thing, I get up, I get on the scale and record my weight. Then I drink 16 oz of water, take my milk thistle and have some dandelion tea.

Day 2 – Test Almonds and Rice

As I know I might be reactive to almonds from 2015, I decided to skip this test and just test basmati rice (a cup for women, 1 ½ cups for men).

Menu:


Breakfast

Flax Granola with ½ cup blueberries
250 ml. Soy Coconut Beverage

Lunch

Carrot Ginger Soup with pumpkin seeds
Baby Romaine with ½ diced pear, ¼ avocado
Broccoli and Mushrooms with lemon vinaigrette

Snack
1 apple with 1 oz raw sun flower seeds

Dinner

Leftover sautéed Kale and Veggies
1 cup basmati rice with pumpkin seeds

Beet/carrot salad with sunflower seeds

We always use basmati rice which is what the Plan calls for luckily.  To me it has the best texture and taste of all the rices.

So...how did it go?

Well I am very glad that I did so much prep in advance as it made it much easier to pack things up for breakfast and lunch.  This is not the kind of plan you can just throw together without planning. It will get easier I hope but to start the first 3 days require making things ahead for sure.

I had a dull head ache again in the morning but it passed by noon, which was good but all I could think of today was food!  And how badly I am looking forward to chicken tomorrow night.  Even the rice tonight felt like a dream.

And its only been 2 days!

I also prepped and cooked the roasted veg for tomorrow night so it is ready for when I get home from the gym tomorrow. Chicken I cooked on the rotisserie with herbs de provence on Sunday and I have 2 portions left to get me through tomorrow and the next day.
