Sooo, happy birthday to my blog. It's 2 years old and what better way to celebrate than to discuss the Fast Metabolism Diet that I've done all week. Remember, I wouldn't call it a diet, just a way of eating. I use a lot of paleo recipes; no wheat, no dairy, no refined sugar, etc...
It's a good way to "cleanse" and restart your metabolism. It is just what I needed to do after all of the crappy eating I have done over the last several months.
Day 7..... I've made it to Day 7 and I've lost 6 lbs. so how bout them apples?? Seriously.... There has been a lot of fruit this week :)
Sooo, Here's my weekly recap...
Monday and Tuesday were pretty easy. It was lots of carbs.... Who doesn't like that?
Hot quinoa cereal with mixed fruit, chicken sausage with brown rice and veggies and chicken with mango and pineapple relish, brown rice and broccoli.
Wednesday and Thursday were the hardest days...
Egg casserole with egg whites, turkey bacon, mushrooms and peppers (yum!)
Meatballs and veggies, grilled chicken with vegetables and pork chops with broccoli
Friday - Sunday. As expected, this has been the best phase.... My favorite! Mostly because I added fats like coconut milk, olive oil and peanut butter. I'm still on Day 3 but so far, I've had oatmeal with fruit, meatballs with fruit and veggies, steak and shrimp, sprouted tortilla, sprouted french toast with fruit reduction and peanut butter, chicken salad, nitrate free deli turkey with hummus and cucumbers
Snacks/Desserts have been: gluten free pretzels, coconut milk ice cream, meringue cookies, orange cream circle milkshake (using coconut milk and xylitol and egg whites) and grass, organic beef jerky (nicks sticks from Amazon).
It's safe to say that this week has been a success and I'm looking forward to another week.
