This has been amazing for our family!

Brad and I are adding in 1 fruit (every other day) and 1 grain per day for a week or so, then increasing.

Congratulations, Lees3rwe! That's fabulous, and you all must be feeling terrific!

Omg so awesome!

Congratulations to the whole family !

Great news! That's so awesome that your whole family is doing it together.

Congrats to all!

Keep up the good work

So, today is my first day of phase 2. My plan was to add a fruit to lunch and 1 serving of grains to dinner.

I just tried to eat a clementine with my lunch (tuna, green beans and 1/2 cup of blackeyed peas). I couldn't finish it. It literally almost made me sick. It was just TOO sweet.

Is this common when reintroducing fruit? I used to love it, but now the thought of it is making me want to hurl.

Could my tastes have really changed that much in 2 weeks?

Congrats!

Yes, it's common. Apples are sooooo good to me now but super sweet.

Congratulations! It's so cool that your whole family is in it together. Yes, your tastes will drastically change.

I had an apple today for my fruit... that was more tolerable than the clementine yesterday.

I had the ultimate challenge today. A business meeting/luncheon. They served Baked Ziti, Garlic Bread and Pizza! I could have died!!!

I sat through the whole meeting drinking water. Then hightailed it to my car and ate turkey slices, cheesestick, an apple and a few cucumber slices on the drive home.

Way to go for you and your family. It must be nice to be in this together.

Fantastic! Bravo on the business meeting. Been there, done that!

This is getting easier day by day. It's amazing how after the 2 week "detox" your body actually craves REAL food.

I am happily munching away on red and orange bell pepper strips with LF Ranch dressing and a serving of nuts. I can't think of anything I would rather have (including the huge MUFFINS that are for sale downstairs)

Congrats! I felt the same way- couldn't have many fruits. They felt waaaay to sweet! I do enjoy apples and pears a lot more now Also, I find the same thing with chocolate- milk chocolate tastes horrible to me! And this is coming from a sweets fan! However, I do enjoy 70% dark chocolate now
