So, I didn’t make it to work yesterday after severe bouts of diarrhoea Tuesday afternoon and Night and Wednesday morning …. I figured it was too risky to come in to work so I stayed home.
Called the Naturopath yesterday to make sure this was “normal” and she kinda freaked out and said “NO!” and that I should drop back the “sludge” (aka herbs) from 7ml twice daily to 1ml twice daily and try and build up to 5 and if I get the same symptoms to drop right back again. Point to that is - that wasn’t meant to happen (so glad I called her to check! Otherwise I would’ve had the shits (literally) for 3 weeks!) as she said, this will put extra stress on my bowel. Thankfully that symptom has stopped. Will see how I get on today.
Another bad thing to this diet is 1. I seem to have broken out ridiculously on my face. Just call me “PIZZA FACE” ….. clearly my body is spazzing out a tad. And 2. Every day it gets to 12pm or 2pm and I cannot move. Yesterday I slept during that period and woke up light headed thinking I was going to die. I think my body doesn’t function not having sugar in it! LOL
On a brighter note - I’ve already dropped 3kg! I nearly died when I saw the scales yesterday and had to jump back on today to make sure it wasn’t just a freak of nature yesterday. In fact, I weigh less today than I did yesterday!
I’m actually pretty sure a lot of my “weight” before was this bloating, fluid retention or whatever the hell. And she told me it would be but …. For the first time since I cant remember when, my stomach is flat!!!! I walked in today and Maree was like “WTF Shirls, you are SOOOO skinny!”
I don’t really get it. I mean, I’m eating things I would normally eat. Sure, I’m eating less due to the sheer lack of variety and I guess I’m not having dairy, gluten, sugar or preservatives etc. If anything, this little project just 4 days along has proved to me how much weight we gain from preservatives, sugar, gluten etc. I think even when I do come off this little experiement, I will cut back the amount of each that I do eat!
This experiment has also proved to me that I clearly am allergic to one of these products. It’s totally amazing in just 4 days that I am not bloated or constipated. Seriously, my body as shit as it feels through headaches, tiredness etc …. Feels like it’s the healthiest it’s been in a LONG time due to not putting any toxins in.
I’m almost eager to see the outcome in 3 or so weeks!!!
