I just had the most disgusting dinner EVAR!! Blech.

Day 2:

· 300 mg of Iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C
· "Arthur's Carrot Smoothie" (carrot juice, apple juice, banana puree, mango puree, passionfruit juice, beta-carotene, vitamin C)
· 2 bananas
· 0.408 Kg of mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, green/red/orange peppers, cucumber, cherry tomatoes)
· 113 raisins (LOL, yes, I counted them)
· 52 almonds
· 4 rice cakes (intermittenly throughout the day)
· 2 bottles of water
· 2 pcs. of gum
· very small bowl of my gross dinner (rice vermicelli with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, and two tblspns of pure balsamic vinegar)
· bowl of pure apple sauce
· 40 green grapes
· 1 can of tuna
· 300 mg of iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C
· 800 IU of vitamin E

Note: balsamic vinegar does not taste anything like balsamic vinegrette. It is incredibly potent, so VERY small helpings are suggested.

Observations: coffee cravings were pretty bad today as I was feeling REALLY tired, and mildly weak. Not entirely sure if the fatigue is diet related or not. Cravings subsided quickly (when I was occupied).

Fecal matter is maleable and VERY dark, looking almost black in colour. I am peeing about every 45 mins (way more than I used to,) but urine colour is normal.

Not much excercise today (other than moving some full beer cases). Feeling exhausted and having difficulty finding energy to work out.

Oh, and I am curious to know if anyone else has trouble swallowing apple sauce. For some reason, I cannot seem to swallow it very easily... it's weird.

I LOVE APPLESAUCE! <3 I swallow it like everything is.

Applesauce thats cooked kind of gets ruined and turned into a bowl of sugar pudding >.<

I love apples but can't stand applesauce. Go figure.

Day 3:

· 300 mg iron w/ 500 mg vitamin C
· 1 banana
· "Arthur's Green Energy Smoothie" (apple juice, banana puree, passionfruit juice, prune plum puree, spirulina, soy lecithin, wheat and barley grasses, vitamin C)
· 30 grapes
· half a cucumber
· 1 tomato
· 1 half lemon
· 3 rice cakes
· summer berry herbal tea
· 32 almonds
· large salad (iceberg lettuce, red onions, tomatos, cucumbers, celery)
· 1 green apple
· 0.204 Kg of Haddock
· 2.5 cups of mixed steamed veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower)
· 2 bottles of water
· 3 pcs. of gum
· 1 advil 400 mg (is that cheating? )
· 300 mg of iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C

Observations: I am feeling freaking awesome today. Oh... and that tea was soooooo sour. Too much lemon?

Edit: My allergies seemed to be heightened. Cigarette smoke overly aggravating the senses. Not easy to find detox friendly food when hungry.

LOL! Thanks for the concern I will make sure to post when there are changes

Day 4:

· 300 mg of iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C
· 2 bananas
· 4 rice cakes
· 37 raisins
· 33 almonds
· large salad (icerberg lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber)
· 100% minute maid pure apple juice
· 1 cup of steamed mixed veggies (carrot, brocolli, cauliflower)
· 1.62 lb. of mixed fruit (blueberry, blackberry, pineapple, honeydew melon, raspberry, watermelon)
· 2 bottles of water
· A LOT of water in a glass, with one slice of lemon
· 2 pcs. of gum
· 300 mg of iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C

Observations: I came home last night and a pizza guy was walking in with me. I have never craved pizza, or salt more in my entire life. Not cheating on my diet is REALLY hard. I went into a cafe thing to get my salad, and there were SOOOO many good smelling things that I wanted BAD. I went out tonight, and people were eating garlic bread beside me... oh man, I wanted it. Biggest craving = feta cheese!

I am pissing like a race horse. My boss pointed out today that I have been going to the bathroom constantly. Good news - urine is completely clear.

I am feeling "cleaner", and less bloated. I feel like my thinking is more clear, and I am able to focus a little better. I really think that this diet is encouraging some weight loss (even though that wasn't the intention), but I can't really tell at this point.

I have been EXHAUSTED, however... to be fair I have worked a night shift, an opening shift, and then a night shift, and another opening shift consecutively, which = no sleep for Theresa.

People are CONSTANTLY giving me a hard time about my decision to detox. I can't understand why however, seeing as I am eating healthier now than I ever have.

I've been getting headaches intermittently, however, I am not sure if that is diet related.

Anyway, I updated yesterdays intake as well.
