Anna’s attempt at The Fast Track Detox Diet
by overlandpark, August 19, 2009 | Permalink
I started the Fast Track Detox Diet on Monday.This is a book by Ann Louise Gittleman, also author of the Fat Flush Plan.
Check out the website: http://www.annlouise.com/fast-track/overview/the-fast-track-detox-diet-overview.html
Essentially there is 7 days of maintaining your current diet while eating liver and colon loving foods and eliminating “detox detractors” such as sugar, gluten, caffiene (ugh!!) and excess fat.Then 1 day of liquid detox during which you drink water and a “miracle juice” of cranberry, orange, ginger, etc. This is followed by 3 days of reintroducing food to your system.
The book is CRITICAL to read because it explains WHY your liver and colon are suffering and HOW this process can help it.More than weightloss or anything, I’m doing this with/for my mother who has a bad liver. The hope is that this will jumpstart her on the right track to better eating so the liver can begin healing itself (yes your liver is just THAT amazing!).
So…backtrack to the beginning…
Day 1
Breakfast: greek yogurt, fresh strawberries and blueberries and some ground flaxseed.
Note to self: ground flaxseed in greek yogurt makes paste. ew! try oil instead
Lunch: 1 egg, small apple and 2 tbsp peanut butter
I’m starving after an hour.
Dinner: Chicken breast, kale sauted with onion and garlic and drizzled with lemon, steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, water with lime
My first time for kale and it was ok. Not a whole lot of flavor there actually so I’ll keep working with it.
Again, both my mother and I are starving after maybe 2 hours.
Snack: string cheese
Water consumption: approx 80 ounces
I weigh myself before bed because I forgot to in the morning. 153.2. The highest I like to allow myself to be is 150 so YIKES!
The caffeine withdrawal is the worst part so far, giving me a lovely dull headache all day.
Stay tuned for the recap of Day 2!
