A cleanse is about health not weight loss, although that is a benefit. I just heard a great speaker today at MOPS who talked about women who are so overly focused on size and image that they obsess about what they eat. This is not about that. This is getting your body cleaned out and doing without things like sugar, dairy, eggs and red meat for a TIME. And then adding healthy treats and extras back in, with moderation of course.
So here's what I've been eating if you are interested in trying something like it. And along with the items I took out of my diet for awhile, I am ALWAYS free of gluten and processed foods/chemicals. That doesn't mean I don't eat chocolate. I couldn't live without my organic chocolate...especially Green And Blacks.
Menu:
Sunday
Breakfast: Plain waffle and fruit
Lunch: Brown Rice Tortilla with lettuce tomato and turkey
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Santa Fe Chicken (chicken, black beans, chilies, spices...over rice)
Monday:
Breakfast: Homemade pancake plain
Lunch: Hummus and crackers with fruit
Dinner: Quinoa with lettuce tomato and turkey
Snack: Fruit and Snap Pea chips
Tuesday:
Breakfast: GF Oatmeal with pears and a Kay's bar
Lunch: Amy's soup, crackers
Dinner: left over Santa Fe
These are a favorite all the time...but I leave the chocolate chips off them when I cleanse |
These are the best crackers and you can get them at Costco |
I've loved these for along time and just discovered that Costco is carrying them |
Can't get enough Quinoa |
Amy's Vegetable soup is so good on a winter day |
New discovery...these are so good, and feel like you are eating a candy bar |
