Hey All - is anyone still with me on this?? It's super hard.
The no bread thing is killer, and I did actually mess up one day this week. :(
Oh well - I got back on track. That's Key!
This week is keeping clean, but introducing a more usual diet.
Try to stick to this to have a healthy lifestyle!
-Limit sugar to only Honey (raw is best!), Dates, Brown Rice Syrup, Blackstrapp Molasses, or Pure Maple Syrup. To read why I don't use Agave - click HERE.
-Slowly introduce a little whole wheat back into your diet. You see how hard it is on your digestive system after being off of it. For this reason I don't eat a ton of it, but its DEFINITELY a better option than white flour!! (I'll post a yummy muffin recipe later this week that will help you with this)
-Limiting your meat and dairy is up to you. I eat organic meat about twice a month and barely any dairy (a little cheese and greek yogurt here and there). I enjoy some fish though. You decide. :)
-Try to stay off of any sugary drinks!!! That rule should be NUMBER ONE!
