7 Day Cleanse - Day Two
Day Two
"All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato
for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter."
This was much easier than I initially thought it was going to be. I actually went to bed on Day One thinking about how much I would enjoy having a baked potato for breakfast, and I really did love every bite (even though I ate it in my car on the way to work and spilled the last couple of bites into my lap ... on white pants. Oopsies!) It is funny how we (or I?) think of what is or isn't a breakfast food. Baked potato? No way! Hash browns? Sure!
For lunch I had a pretty tasty salad with tons tons TONS of veggies...cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, etc. I was even pretty pleased with the dressing I was allowed (olive oil, red wine vinegar, and then random herbs). Dinner was a shmorgisboard of green veggies...broccoli, asparagus, zucchini...and some mushrooms thrown in for fun. I was pretty hungry when I got home so I was cooking in a hurry and probably could have prepared the veggies to taste better, but I was a woman on a mission!!
I might be exaggerating, but I already feel energized, and almost happier. This could be the result of other factors, but I would like to say its because of the clean eating and hydrating that is taking place! Realistically this is not a program that I could do more than a few times a year, but I am happy to have a cleanse that is easy to stick to and makes me feel good.
Stay tuned though...its only day 2. I could be a raging, hungry biatch by the end of the week.
Next up, Day Three...fruits AND veggies!
