Day 2 On The Elimination Diet

Today's my second day on the Elimination Diet and to be honest it's going really well. Yesterday I had a headache thinking it was the effects of the detox although it was probably due more to eating too much and having a couple of ciders New Years eve.

One thing I don't have to put up with though is the withdrawal from coffee.
I did the Elimination Diet for 2 weeks at the beginning of December and got rid of my coffee 'addiction'. I've had 3 cups since and each time felt jittery and queazy, so coffee is out for good.

The diet may seem restrictive at first, you need to cut out wheat/ gluten, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, alcohol, fizzy drinks etc.

However, in truth it's a diet of abundance, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, plenty of clean filtered water, meat - red meat too as long as it's organic.

To be honest this shouldn't be too much of a problem for me, I'm intolerant to wheat and gluten, lactose intolerant, over my caffeine 'ad
diction', and drink very little alcohol.

So in accordance with the diet, today I ate:

Breakfast: Banana and blueberry smoothie with flax seeds.

Snack: Slice of roast beef and an apple.

Lunch: Roasted beef an apple and 1oz of almonds.

Dinner: Courgettes stuffed with mince with a large mixed salad.

Snack: Fruit salad.

Lunch was a bit boring so went and did a grocery shop.

I forgot to mention the diet is free and can be downloaded by clicking here
