Day 8 (Friday) - Bloated and gassy today!! TMI? No one read this but me anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my bloat level fluctuated throughout the day. I started taking supplements once a day... excited to see how these help. And lunch today was the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. Maybe I was just extra hungry but that vegan pesto brown rice pasta with chicken sausage and watermelon and Tuscan melon was TO DIE FOR!! Holy cow!! I also started thinking to myself today, “man, elimination diets are fun. They get you eating creatively!” I did walk down the dessert aisle today at the grocery store and stare longingly at the gluten free brownie mixes, but I’m enjoying myself and having fun with this cleanse! *thumbs up emoji*
Day 9 (Saturday) - less bloated? A tad gassy. Some discomfort in my stomach. But my mental gut told me that the discomfort was just coming from my stomach still adjusting to the new mix of nutrients Im eating and not necessarily a reaction to what i was eating, if that makes sense??A little more frustrated with my current dietary restrictions this day. My Trader Joe’s sold out of vegan pesto before I could buy some and I was sad:(
Day 10 (Sunday) - still some stomach discomfort. I made some chocolate hummus yesterday using this recipe. For one of the ingredients I used a mixed nut butter that contains hazelnuts... and I've known for a while that I was allergic to hazelnuts but man. I could feel it yesterday and today as I was eating it. I think the Clean Program diet has made me more aware of what causes me digestive discomfort. I also weighed myself today! No, weight loss is not one of the main targets of the Clean Program, but it does happen when all you're eating is fruits, veggies, and chicken ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't weigh myself before I started the Clean Program cause I'm not super into that (that being weighing myself) but judging by the number on the scale today and my slowly diminishing muffin tops I'd say I've lost between 5-10 pounds so far?
Day 11 (Monday) - YO I'M STILL BLOATED. I don't know why!! I suspect hazelnuts and maybe cinnamon but even throughout this process when I haven't been eating those things I've been bloated! My one desire going on this cleanse was to be bloat free and I am not close to being bloat free! I do not know what to do! I will say though, the smoothies I made today came straight from the Clean Program website and they tasted so good to me!! I feel like that's how you know you've made it, when smoothies made out of carrots taste good lol *cool sunglasses emoji*.
My days started to look all the same so I didn't revisit my draft til the week was over....
Day 15 (Friday) - How's this for a week two review?
Bloating - Still got it. I think my immune disease is still being triggered by something I'm eating although I only have a faint clue as to what it could be (coconut?) I'm a little upset because I'm avoiding the things I know I should avoid (gluten and sugar) and yet still not feeling 100%.
Energy/skin - These are the same as they've always been! Blogs I've read about others' experiences with the program have said by week 2 they have more energy, sleep sounder, and are seeing clearer skin. Now, I know Comparison is the Thief of Joy, BUT what the poop. I wish my body would do what its supposed to:/ I feel like my stomach is set on being unhappy with whatever I eat. Hhhhgnngggghhhhh.
I feel like next week I should post some pics of the delicious food I'm eating. I do have to say, my taste buds have adapted to my new diet quite nicely and veggies and fruits are tasting quite delicious. I woke up this morning craving hummus! That was a new feeling.
