Well week one wasn’t as hard as I anticipated and I dropped 2.5kg of fat – yeah!
The hardest part for me was getting my daily water intake up over 2 liters I really struggle with drinking water, it makes me retch if I try drinking it too fast and I hate the taste. I started upping my water intake (from a zero starting position) a couple of weeks before I started the diet and was really surprised to find that now only a couple of weeks later I can drink a glass or even two straight down without gagging. I’m getting through over 2 liters a day now without too much of a struggle as long as I keep a glass or bottle handy through the day.
The second dilemma was figuring out what to do for weekend lunches, in the end I just stuck with omelette’s but will be searching around for some new alternatives in the coming weeks or it is going to get really boring. I like something we can sit down together and enjoy not grab on the run during the weekend but I like lunch to be different, not a replica of dinner so I need to kick the imagination up a gear.
Other than that I am feeling better, I had a few headaches and dizzy spells over the first few days but given this was a detox after a lot of eating junk this year I had expected it to be worse than it was.
In my second week I need to bring a bit of exercise into the mix.
