Phase 1
So I finally completed phase 1 of the detox and I thought it about time to tell u about it. I say finally as I decided to extend the 2 week period to 3 weeks. I was more than reasonably well behaved during phase 1 in terms of what I consumed, however the quantity of nuts was blown out of the water. I craved them and so I consumed them... That combined with the fact that I felt I wasn't expelling enough through my digestive system, I decided to extend it to 3 weeks. Plus the supplements in phase 1 were still going.
My first week if the detox went really well. I felt good, didn't have any cravings and was definitely feeling more fresh and clean on the inside and out. Wow I thought... This is going to be easy!
Week two however was another story. I felt hungry, emotional and sluggish. This is when I decided to extend a week and week 3 was much more palatable.
I'm on to phase two now... The first week down... It was a bumpy week. I was craving chocolate and protein which I tried to stave if by having done tuna and nuts. It didn't work and I ended up having a couple of nights where I indulged in some desert. It was a reasonably healthy chocolate pudding. However, the first time I was left feeling a bit bloated and on into the next day. This could be due to 2 things. Not drinking enough water with it... Without water psyllium can clog up your system. Or 2; the protein powder. I'm still playing around with protein powders and trying to establish what works and what doesn't with my digestive system.
Protein fibre packed pudding
Psyllium husks
Chia seeds
Shredded coconut
Raw cacao powder
Scoop of protein powder
Stevia
Mix it all together and let it sit for a short period to thicken up before enjoying!
