Yay! I'm in the home stretch - the third and final stage of the detox. During this phase, I can begin to add in a wider range of foods. Yesterday and today (day 14 & 15), I am allowed to add back Bread/Cereal (products made from rice, oat, buckwheat, millet, potato flour, tapioca, arrowroot, amaranth, quinoa, and teff), Starch (rice, oats, millet, quinoa, amaranth, teff, tapioca, and buckwheat), and Milk Substitutes (rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and other nut milks). I have to continue with the powder supplement three times daily as well as the encapsulated supplement three times daily. I will slowly begin to add all the detox approved foods back into my diet throughout these upcoming days.
As my video blog post yesterday shared, I had another bio analysis (BIA) done yesterday. My bio chemistry is definitely changing...Here's the results:

So, I'm two weeks into it and all and all my cells are healthier, I have lost about a pound of fat - without losing any muscle, my metabolism is holding steady, and I have lost 1/3 of a liter of bad water (toxins) - while maintaining hydration. At first, I was thinking that the numbers would look drastically different. Interesting though, for many people the numbers flip upside down and get worse before they get better. Knowing that, I'm extremely happy with the results.
The most important thing to remember is that I have to think of myself as a project. The goal is to build a really strong foundation - in other words, get my insides cleaned out and my internal biochemistry working the right way. Once that's running on all cylinders, then the results from the training program will start working with me vs. against me. While my numbers may be a slow gradual process, there's no way that the results aren't going to turn out right. Bottom line: My body is just storing (a lot) fat in the wrong spots; so once the biochemistry is tweaked, I will start seeing the results much more rapidly of clean eating and training hard.

While all of this is really good stuff, I have to say...I miss "clean" cooking/baking, terribly! I'm ready to have the magnitude of wholesome, nutritious food at my finger tips...and most of all I am ready to eat protein at every meal again. I have so many new recipes that I am anxious to try! 13 days to go!
I did make use of my leftover veggies yesterday by tossing them in some organic canola oil (just a little) adding some garlic, and ground pepper, and putting them in the oven on 400 for 15 minutes or so... SO GOOD. I forget how much I love roasted veggies. I combined them with a side of rice pasta and an excellent tomato cooking sauce (just tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and sea salt). I also added a side of spinach and kale as well. Made for the perfect day 14 celebration meal! :)
Keep it Clean & Enjoy the Ride!
