Day?

Observations about the diet?

15 (?)

It's not as hard as I thought to follow the diet.

My confession is that I haven't been as super strict as I should be (non-compliant bacon, 1 non-compliant thing a week, etc.).

Day 1!! Yay! I don't think we have enough food for the week. We may have to do a mid week grocery run!

Day 1.... Again. (Last week fell apart) I expected sugar to be my biggest hurdle, honestly, but I did 11 days of a sugar detox in the spring and that helped. What's tripping me up the most is rice. Stir-fries and Mexican dishes without rice (and cheese)seem lacking. I'm struggling to make them feel filling and well-rounded. I make cauliflower rice, but still...

I AM ADDICTED TO RICE!

There. I said it. This is going to be a hard one!

Day 1!

Breakfast is going to be the big challenge for me (have eaten grape nuts pretty much always, and eggs don't seem right without toast). I am eager to see how the month plays out

Day 15 - the halfway point - yay!

I agree with you, pixie, that's it's NOT THAT HARD, especially after you get through the first 2-3 days.

I am about 99.5% compliant but I think that's pretty darn good.

Day 13

I have more energy, and I am not hungry all the time. It was hard for me to get used to no snacking, but eating larger meals, but I think it helped the constant hunger.

I see myself eating like this most of the time when I am done. I'm afraid if I have a sweet treat, or a drink, I wont be able to just have one every now and again.

Day 15 - yay for halfway!

I was nervous because today was my first day back at work. BUT, I was not horribly tired for having to get up so early (we'll see how I feel about that by the end of the week) and I only had a handful of nuts in the afternoon to tide me over to dinner, which is pretty good for me. Overall, now that I know what I'm doing, it really isn't that bad.
