Its been one of those weeks...and getting to day three in the detox is really when I start freaking out about wanting a steak. Day 5 is worse, but somehow by Day 6, I'm fine again. Anyhow, today involved a little cheating for dinner, but I stayed fairly true to the plan...
Detox Day 3
Breakfast:
Fruit Smoothie - same as yesterday (my favorite mix)
Someone on FB asked about flaxseed and protein powder in the smoothies. For the detox, the purpose is to give the digestive track a break and give it a bit of a scrub with some much needed fiber. So, for detox smoothies, they are just fruit. Well, I also add a powdered greens supplement that has a lot of good healty stuff in it. Here is the link to what I use. I add water to make it easier to drink and blend, but other than that, just frozen & fresh fruit.
If I make a smoothie not during detox, I will add ground flaxseed and sometime chopped, raw almonds. They blend up nicely and give it a good texture and good taste. I'm not big on protein powder, but you could add some if you wanted. I don't have a brand recommendation.
Lunch: (same boring lunch, I was busy today)
Black Bean Spice Veggie Burger
1/2 a baked sweet potatoe
1 cup leftover broccoli parmagiano
Dinner: Dinned Out at Abuelos
Some sort of salad (can't remember the name) with mixed greens, raisins, grilled chicken, onions, etc. The key at restaurants is to ask for the salad with the dressing on the side. Most restaurants simply drown their salads in dressing. More than fat being an issue is sugar. Most dressings have a base of HFCS, which aside from just being bad for you, is one of the things that causes blood sugars to spike and your body to store your food (even a salad) as body fat. Nobody wants that!
- I did also have tortillia chips and a margarita -- NEITHER of which is detox friendly, but I had them anyways. ;)
So there is today. I'll get a couple more receipes posted for tomorrow. I still have leftover Lentils from Sunday and some broccoli parmagiano, so I don't know when I'll cook again. Probably Thursday since we're supposed to get a bunch of snow and I won't be heading out anyways. I have recipes for a really good vegetarian Eggplant Parmesean and I still intend to make my Black Bean Soup (without ruining a pan this time). Yum!
