plain oatmeal with unsweetened coconut milk- tasted bland but only because my body is conditioned to want a sugar taste. I bet in a few days it will taste better.
almonds
pork, parsnip, and pepper leftovers
cucumbers w/ a touch of olive oil and vinegar and salt
pear
unsweet tea (I almost caved and went for the diet coke when I started getting a headache and sluggish...but I went for a big glass of tea)
dinner: Mexi-salad with fresh guacamole
(ingredients- ground beef, diced tomatoes, a bunch of spices, organic salsa, romaine lettuce, peppers, avocados, lime, cilantro, garlic)
orange
Energy? veeerry tired this morning. it was hard to get going with the morning workout. this is normal I believe, because my body is craving (addicted to!) the insulin-shock-response. as I stated above, almost caved and got a diet coke. Energy went UP as the day went on! Didn't feel drained at the end of the day like I normally do.
Hunger? I wasn't abnormally hungry. I got hungry for lunch but full after I ate. Same for dinner.
Mexi-salad was really good, the beef mixture was FABULOUS. The secret ingredient is....CINNAMON!! I forgot to take a pic but here is our aftermath...
Link to recipe here. Very tasty and very filling.
Rather than post some boring nutritional info, I thought I would share a quote from the blog of this gal in Austin who has practiced this diet and has some killer recipes to share as well.
"It's not that I have an immense amount of willpower or that I like keeping myself on a short leash. It's because I really like who I am and how I feel when I eat properly. I think I'm more patient, calmer, more optimistic, and more confident. I like when my stomach isn't bloated and when my thinking is clear. And, if I'm totally honest, I also really dig feeling smug when I snarf big piles of protein, veggies, and coconut oil."
