I'm just finishing day 4 of a 7 day challenge I'm doing. I feel amazing!!! I have been blogging about it if you want to read more in detail, but basically it goes like this:
Day 1: All veggies, preferably raw, aiming for 4 meals, but you can snack on as many as you'd like (no sweet potatoes or any other potatoes). Can use a little olive oil with balsamic vinegar if you want.
Days 2 - 4: Same, except you can have 20-25g of protein with 2 of the meals. That's like 3-4 eggs, 4 ounces chicken, can of tuna, tofu etc etc.
Days 5 - 7: Same except you can have 20-25 grams of protein with all 4 meals.
Drink 100 ounces of water all days.
It's meant to be just for a week of course, kind of a cleanse/detox kinda thing. I am so serious, I feel like a new woman already. And I typically claim I hate vegetables, but as each day goes by I am liking them more. After the 7 days you're supposed to just slowly reintroduce other foods, like fruit, some grains etc.
I know it's not for everyone, but darn it I'm excited about it because I feel SOOOO good. It's really hard to believe food makes THAT much of a difference!!!
