Last post I made the announcement
that I had a new local health coach
and I'm excited to share with you
a little about what I'm doing this week!
This week I'm focusing on:
#1 Setting Goals - Short Term/Long Term
#2 Rebooting my body by doing an Elimination Cleanse
The Elimination Cleanse basically means
that I will eliminate a bunch of different foods
that are common allergens to people
and eat very simply for a set amount of days
and then I'll slowly bring back different foods
to see how my body reacts to them.
This will give my body a great reboot
as I eat simply and healthfully.
This will also allow me to find any
food that my body is intolerant to.
I have bad digestive issues and
often get sinus infections during the winter
as well as a slew of other things
and I suspect a gluten and/or diary intolerance
For a food addict this is going to be tough
The "Avoid List" includes....
Dairy
Gluten
Grains
Sugar
Most Beans
Eggs
Nuts
Soy
Preservatives/Processed Food
Alcohol
and a few other things I can't think of right now
But you get my drift. It's a lot.
To give a sample of what my next week will look at
Here are just a few items on my meal plan
Breakfast:
Smoothies
Berries, Banana, Spinach, Coconut Milk, Chia Seeds etc.
Lunch:
German Lentil Soup (Vegetarian)
OR
Simple Turkey Taco Salad w/
Lettuce, Organic ground turkey, Fresh Salsa, Guacamole
Dinner:
Chicken Fajita Salad w/
Lettuce, Organic Chicken Breast Chunks, Grilled Onions/Pepper, Guacamole
Organic Low Sugar/Gluten-Dairy Free Fajita Seasoning
OR
Lemon Rosemary Chicken w/ Balsamic Brussels Sprouts or Steamed Artichokes
and a Sweet Potato
Snack(s):
Raw Veggies w/ Guacamole
Organic Lunch Meat
Pure Coconut Water
Pumpkin/Sunflower Seeds
Fruit
Right now I've been in pre-detox mode for the last four days
preparing for the 7 day detox
that will start tomorrow (Friday May 16)
So why tell you this?
Because right now I have 338 Accountability Partners on LPI
As I'm going through this I will have lots of raw emotions
that I will want to get out
and I need your help to cheer me on and keep my motivated!
Let's do this!
I'm looking forward to hearing how your elimination cleanse goes. In 2010, my son eliminated known allergens--eggs, milk, nuts, fish, wheat and soy. The minute he added wheat, he became completely ill. He avoids wheat, has lost 80 pounds and is much healthier-- mentally and physically. You can do it!! ---Suzanne, Tucson AZ
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne! I'm thinking that wheat plays a huge role in my upset. I won't go into details but often when I eat something with wheat it seems like I'm cramping and headed straight for the bathroom. But, I eat out often and also eat dairy often so I'm not 100% sure if its the wheat, the dairy or the preservatives. Hence the reason why I'm doing the elimination detox to find out. I also committed to not eating out for the entire time which is HUGE for our family! Thanks for the support!
