Detox Plan (Part 2)

Detox Diet Day #4 :
[Day #4 : Up to 3 glasses of milk and up to 8 bananas]
I imagined it to be the worst day of this detox week since i don’t take bananas - haven't eaten one in like a million years (banana fritters excluded) and i am no fan of plain boring milk. But i've suprised myself again. It went well. i found that i didn’t dislike the taste of bananas quite as much as i thought i did. i didn’t even need all 8 bananas to keep myself from being hungry.

Detox Diet Day #5 :
[Day #5 : Boiled or sprouted black gram (or kidney beans) + up to 6 tomatoes]

No one knew what black gram is. And kidney beans??? Urgh! And so we modified the plan a little.

For lunch i had some tomatoes, boiled broadbeans, steamed sprouted beans and steamed chickpeas. A bean or not a bean?? Fi was certain “those are PEAS!!! Not beans-lah…” Ls later googled and confirmed that "chickpeas are actually beans" … oh well…

Day #5 @ 5.30pm : still pretty full from lunch. My colleagues .. one has gone out of jurisdiction and has given up. Three plan to give up ‘after office hours’ and at 5.45 they’ll be going for their oreo binge…. Should I join them??? It’s so tempting!
i did. in the end, everyone caved. those oreos were just too irrisistable! must go gym. must work out. must work out.

Decided to 'relax' the diet plan. i can start to enjoy normal food but i resolve to finish up all the detox food i still have in the fridge - and that includes more broadbeans, tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouted beans and salad.

Detox Diet - The End Result :

By the end of day 5, i feel cleansed, i feel healthier, my skin feels cleaner (alto i can't dare say 'looks better' ... heh...), and i lost 2 kgs (and you may say 'what weight do i have left to lose' and i will say 'i can see my fats even if you can't!'). I now view food in a different light - i appreciate it in its most natural form and yet, i want to enjoy all the taste that junk and processed food brings, in moderation. and, ... and this is important, i know i don't have an addiction to anything *wink*

i'm glad my colleagues did this detox plan with me. i wouldn't have made it without them. it was motivational and was lots of laughs with the constant group emails complaining about hunger and cravings and calculating how many mini bananas make one giant banana. and of course the banana jokes.

Eventhough i didn't make the whole 7 days i am happy with my first ever attempt to diet. i think i am going to repeat this diet, once in a while.
