Detox Diet...What have I gotten myself into?
Yesterday I started a 7-day detox diet plan. Really, the diet isn't TOO terribly different than what I normally eat, with a few exceptions:
• No (or very minimal) dairy
• No sugar or artificial sweeteners - this includes honey
• No process carbohydrates (so no pasta, rice, cereal or bread); carbs
will come from veggies, fruits and beans this entire week
• No alcohol
And the most detrimental....
• NO CAFFEINE. NONE.
So this is day 2 and so far, I basically want to punch something. Anything. I don't have a headache <yet> from caffeine withdraw, but I know it's coming. The food changes are not difficult for me, other than I would very much LOVE to have a nice whole wheat bagel or some brown rice for dinner. But alas, I will refrain.
I just hope I can hold out on the caffeine. I definitely think this diet will help me to realize how dependent I am on caffeine and hopefully will enable me to change my coffee-drinking habit. I will be glad to not have to drink a cup in the afternoon anymore. At least, that's what I'm hoping will happen.
OK - only 5 1/2 more days. Ugh!
