The first two days of the elimination diet is green smoothies, so I'm not going to lie, today was harder than expected. I had the day off so being around the house and having food around that I couldn't eat was tempting.
I started off with the Minty Green Smoothie (see recipe) which was really good. I usually don't put much fruit in my smoothies so it was a lot sweeter than the ones I typically make. I made a bunch of it and had that throughout the day. Towards the end of the night I started having cravings for refined carbohydrates. With the first two days being a juice fast, I don't get fat or protein. Typically I would never do this, but I wanted to try it for the effect. One of the things I noticed was that I was hungry more than usual. Knowing my body wanted some fast fuel I ate a few cherries, and an avocado with a touch of salt and pepper which has good fat content which sustains energy and helped curve my cravings for other food. That helped a lot. I found that I was getting tired, but I didn't experience any headaches or extreme fatigue. I was feeling good about this.
