Today is Monday, May 4th.
The true beginning of my detox diet. Really!!!
The number one thing I will need to focus on this week is drinking enough liquids. I've decided on the goal of drinking at least a quart of Master-Cleanse Lemonade each day. Not only is it good for cleaning out the system, but it also quells cravings.
I will prepare a glass jug of this before I go to bed every night and take it with me to work. Today I also added a little cranberry juice (just cranberry).
I started the day with a glass of water and then a cup of Mate tea. I packed leftovers from last night - wild rice, collard greens, red beans. And an all-rice tortilla with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. And some radishes and cucumbers in apple-cider vinegar. I also had some fruit, nuts, and a cocoa ball. I had lots of tea and lemonade. This was not a difficult day to get through, I think drinking all the liquids helped.
Tonight we had rice and black beans with plantains (cooked in coconut oil with onions and chiles) and a mango-cilantro salsa. For dessert we had an apple crisp (un-peeled), sweetened with agave syrup and topped with a gluten-free topping that was surprisingly good. We ate it with a scoop of Coconut Bliss's Cherry Amaretto.
Nick says that he will do the diet too, if it is always this delicious.
