I sticked to my diet of brown rice meat
and lettuce just one tsp each for an
hour.
And guess what?
Just for a week with this diet, my body is
starting to adjust.
Stan told me to see how far I can go and
test it out, so I did and I was able to go
3 hours without food.
All the symptoms you will feel during the
initial phase will go away and your body
will slowly adapt.
When you start this diet you will feel a
lot better than with your old diet of
sugar and high gi foods.
I noticed I am not as anxious, I am also
more upbeat. This diet rules!
Just dont give up!

Don't you give up either. If it happens
that you come down again, please remember
this is natural! I'm not trying to be a
downer, but I know how it feels to feel
awesome, but then dreadful the next
thinking that you're doing something
wrong. Stick with it, even if it goes
down again. That's pretty quick progress
though, I must say my diet is quite health
forum.

Give it time. I suspect you may be
eating too many carbohydrates regardless
of what you think. To test, try this,
add some olive oil to your meals, like a
tablespoon or thereabouts. If this seems
to relieve the fatigue and give you more
energy, you're probably eating too many
carbohydrates.

hello jenny,
yes and I add some small bit of carrots or
raw yellow squash...I started out with
spinach leaves during the first few days
and then went to lettuce after. I also
add olive oil and lemon. I think the
lemon helps cause it has vitamin c, you
need to include the whole vitamin group in
there.
Lemon also slows down your digestion,
which means it lows the gi of any food you
eat just adding acid to it.
Sometimes I add a slice of almonds in it
also. During the first few days I ate a
lot of almonds also as snacks. And a bit
of apple and orange when I was crashing.
I dont know if the adjustment depends on
your diet before.
Cause my usual diet involved rice the high
gi kind. So maybe my body was able to
adjust quickly to this brown rice diet
because I have been eating rice already?
Also you have to eat low gi foods, not
just low carb foods. It has to be low gi.
Low gi carb, thats basically what you
need to take in small amounts with
protein, fats and bit of veggies. And
then relax, dont do anything, just sit
around.
During the first few days I felt really
bad, I had to eat like every 15 minutes to
30 minutes even. And I was really
depressed bout it, but you will start to
feel different, once you start to feel
different and feel better.
You then test your limits. Basically you
kinda training your body, because it only
knows how to react to the diet you had
before, now you have to train it to react
to this new diet.
For me, my body would start to panic when
the hour is near, but try to not do
anything if you can and not panic. Its
your body in withdrawal symptoms, when you
test your limit just have someone near
you, and has to be stress free.
Being relax helps! Have someone near you
who will keep you positive and upbeat.
This is the key! Because it keeps you
relax and your body will relax and it will
go through the symptoms easier. And it
will adjust faster.
Dont think too many crazy thoughts.
Just think in your head. You will fight
this and you will beat it. Keep saying it
over and over. And then you will start to
feel better. This is because you will
release good positive energy into your
body.
So remember it is not just the food. It
also starts with your mind, to want to get
better, and the environment and the people
you are with.
