So after 3 weeks, I'm glad to say that I'm done detoxing! I'm extremely
proud and excited. The greatest thing is that I've been reminded about
how I want to be eating. Being dairy, grain, and sugar free has really
made me feel physically and mentally better than I have felt in a long time.
I've also had a lot of fun coming up with new recipes to make eating at
home interesting. In total, in the 6 weeks that I have not been eating
dairy and grains, I have lost about 10 lbs. I know that I will gain and
need to gain back most of them and as I reintroduce nuts and more meat
into my diet. Like I mentioned prior to the
start of the cleanse, I am not doing this to lose weight, nor do I feel
like I need to lose weight. I'm perfectly okay with gaining the weight
back. What I've lost is the bloat, the tiredness, and the fogginess. And
that's enough for me.
Now that the cleanse is over, I'm not going to stop eating dairy-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free. I'm really looking forward to sharing all of my recipes, including fun delicious deserts that won't make your blood sugar spike and crash. As a fan of eating out, I will also share my restaurant experiences, where I will be ordering gluten-free and dairy-free meals. For my last cleanse meal, I made a wonderful squash dish. It was super delicious and extremely satisfying:
