Elimination Diet

On Sunday I started Dax Moy's Elimination Diet. Towards the end of last week I was feeling a wee bit 'toxic'. I couldn't concentrate, skin breaking out, energy levels suffering, bloated and tired. So I bit the bullet and started the diet. Now the diet isn't as restrictive as it first seems, you just need to cut out all the junk and eat fresh, organic if possible, natural food and drink a LOT of water.
For the first 4 days I had a thumping headache and my mind felt foggy. Today I woke up and for the first time since Sunday I had no headache : )

The great thing about the diet is that you get really inventive in the kitchen and real whole food starts to taste great again. Most of the time I just make stuff up in the kitchen. A couple of times I cooked leeks, onions and mushrooms in a little organic butter, added some garlic and some red chillies and had that with diced organic chicken breasts-stunning!

I think we are so accustomed to eating foods which have their flavours enhanced, or have artificial flavourings in that our taste buds get desensitised and we forget how good the taste of real food can be.
Oh, did I mention the diet is also available to download for free here
