The start of this diet is a 9 day detox, when I first read the book I thought 9 days was nothing, I could do anything for 9 days. But on day one, I started to rethink that. Lucky for me I had some great friends who were incredibly supportive and gave me some great tips to get through the detox phase.
By day 3 I was in the groove, and feeling really good about my decision. I made it through the entire 9 days sticking to the only fruits and veggies, eating oatmeal and brown rice as directed in the book.
My daily detox diet was as follows:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Mid morning snack:
Banana or other fruit
Lunch:
Left overs from night before, usually brown rice with sauteed squash
low fat yogurt
Snack:
14 almonds and baby carrots
Dinner:
1 cup brown rice with sauteed veggies
or
Large salad with grilled veggies
After dinner snack if needed:
low fat yogurt
It was a bit of a challenge to eat the same things for 9 days, I did create some variation with the different sauteed veggies, adding mushrooms etc, and creating different "sauces" using fresh salsa, or some soy and teriyaki sauce.
I am officially done with the detox, however I'm still adhering to the phase I diet so I can keep up the weight loss...I am adding some lean proteins into the mix but only once per day, and I'm trying to keep the brown rice to a minimum since I think it may have hindered my weight loss.
Overall, still doing really well and feeling great!!!
Goal loss 100 lbs
Total loss 6 lbs
