Breakfast: Rice protein smoothie, the usual recipe, with flax oil
UltraInflamX, a weird shake powder my doctor is making me use (it's weird-tasting)
Lunch: leftover tofu stirfry and rice
Dinner:
steak
leftover potatoes
1/2 avocado
4 pcs tuna sushi roll
Green salad: spring mix, romaine hearts, curly endive (bitter!), green peppers, cucumber, fresh parsley, EV olive oil, lemon juice, salt
Snack: 1 apple with plenty of cashew butter
Very late snack: 3 rice cakes with cashew butter and honey, 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk to wash it down
Breakfast day 5: decaf organic coffee with unsweetened soymilk, 1/2 serving of UltraInflamX
Lunch day 5:
Spinach and mushrooms sauteed with garlic and olive oil
turkey patties with fresh parsley and herbs
brown rice
Changes I've noticed:
+complexion is improving
+digestive system is working normally (first time in over a year, I think)
-some detox symptoms, like headaches, fatigue, increased nasal allergies
-leg pain from standing up at the stove/sink to cook
I'm cooking up some really fantastic food, out of necessity. It's like having your car break down and having to walk to work through a beautiful meadow. Kind of.
