Day 12: no more cravings

Guys, I’m crushing it.  I think I just needed to get over the first week of this diet because all of a sudden things are just so much better. I’m feeling full but not bloated or gassy or uncomfortable and eating things I enjoy and not feeling deprived and…it feels so nice and easy!!  Man.  I’m glad I pushed through because for a couple of days there, the idea of doing this for another couple of weeks was seeming terrible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready to open my dietary repertoire back up, but at… Read more >

Day 11: a lot of full

Look at where I am after breakfasting on this a mere two days. It’s sooooo yummy.  I plan on making another loaf as soon as this is done, but of course I didn’t write down the recipe so I’m not too sure if I can replicate it just right.  I’ll definitely try. Cashew buttah for always. This lunch was so good I went and made another slice for myself after this was gone, even though I was nearing full.  As a result I was pretty much stuffed for the rest of the day.  Smoked salmon… Read more >

Day 10: feeling good & eating good

I couldn’t stop eating this.  I basically plowed through 1/3 of it with cashew butter. I was starving though! Kyle and I went on a family run to the tennis courts to play before it got to be 104 degrees…so by the time we were home and showered I was ready to eat the entire pan.  Hence the major damage I did to it. I spent most of the morning in the kitchen doing prep.  After I took my first round of pills I felt some cramping and sure enough, an hour or so later… Read more >

Day 9: up and downs

Here’s that beautiful baked dish that I made the night before.  I was literally throwing things into a mixing bowl while I was coming up with a concept of what I was going to make. I had about a cup of shredded zucchini left and a very brown banana, which is why I needed to do something. Add in coconut oil, eggs, almond flour, stevia, salt and baking soda and you have a lovely little casserole bake. Clumpy almond milk in my coffee…booo. Mega cashew butter.  Yayyyy! Like, MEGA cashew butter. I smeared it everywhere… Read more >

Day 8: the blahs

I am really bored with this diet.  Bored and annoyed.  It seems to require so much (too much) prep to eat anything and since I’m a person who likes to eat what I crave in that moment, it’s hard to plan ahead. For breakfast I had cashew bread with coconut manna.  Not because I wanted it, but because I couldn’t think of anything else to prepare quickly that sounded good. At least this time I had the patience to wait for my breakfast to toast (rather than eat the first slice plain while making the… Read more >
