Me: If I do this for 3 days, people will say that I should have done it for a week. If I do it for a week, people will say I should have done it for 2 weeks. If I do it for 2 weeks, people will say I will have to do it for a year before I see any benefits.
Mike: Even a juice cleanse takes at least 3 days. Be thankful you’re not having just lemon juice and anchovies.
Me: Anchovies? A cleanse is lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
Mike: ……..in England they use anchovies.
Day 2 began with Kashi Indigo Morning cereal, which is cornflakes with freeze dried blueberries and blackberries. I weighed out the serving size on the nutrition label, thought, Aww, that’s adorable, and poured some more. The flavor of the cereal was decent and it has a good crunch. It left my hunger somewhat satisfied, but definitely not full. Fortunately, a cup of coffee finished filling me up. The flakes left kernels stuck in my teeth like I had eaten popcorn, perfect for second breakfast later.
At lunchtime, I tried the brown rice pasta and chicken meatballs. The pasta was a bit chewy, but the taste and texture wasn’t really different from regular pasta. It also reminded me that I really need to bottle my own sauce. Bottled is okay in a pinch, but it always seems to have an aftertaste to it.
That entire day, I felt like a shell of a person. A very, very fatigued shell. On the plus side, my hunger wasn’t as bad as it normally is. The food I ate seemed to sustain me for longer periods of time, and when hunger came, it didn’t suddenly crash.
we found that kind of same thing with Luke that the wheat was crashing his sugar a lot more than it should have been
Some of the pasta is definitely chewy. Tinkyada is the best I’ve found but it’s one of those brands that all stores don’t carry, which makes it annoying. You’re doing good to make it to the end of day 2 without wanting to hurt and/or eat someone! I was ravenous during my 1st attempt at gluten-free.
I think Tinkyada was what I had, but I’m not certain.
Yep. Definitely what I had.
Bummer! I’ve only used the spiral pasta in chicken noodle soup but it was okay. Maybe I’m just used to the strange texture of gluten-free products now!
