My doctor asked that I weigh myself once a week to go along with the rest of my information in his chart and I couldn't believe it.......with all the food I ate, I lost 6 lbs this week. This is great but got me to thinking, you really need to make sure before you take on ANY major change that can affect your body this way, you should check with your doctor to make sure that the plan is healthy and makes sense for you. Since my journey is a medical one, as well as a general health one, I am happy to have the guidance, observation, and communication of a fantastic doctor!
Breakfast was mixed fruit with flax seed and unsweetened coconut. I've only ever had sweetened coconut and didn't like it so I was leary but you never know when your tastebuds are going to change so what the hell! Turns out, it was just the sugar in the sweetened coconut that I didn't really care for because yummmmmm. I am excited for when I run out of flax meal and can get some actual seeds for texture but I didn't want to be wasteful so I'm using up what I've got first.
Lunch was raw vegetables with Black Bean Hummus, tortilla crisps that I made, and an apple. To make the crisps, I cut up a whole wheat tortilla into strips and baked at 250 degrees for about 30 minutes but I would check it every 10 minutes because all ovens are different of course.
So now, to sit down and plan my week's meals with the leftovers I have (I halved a lot of the recipes but I still ended up with a LOT of food), and new combos of the recipes I love from week one!
