Day 144

by rawkaren on 11 Jan 2014, 07:06

I'm declaring today a half fast as I'm entertaining tonight at home. I have puffer fish face. A week on the road, eating on the go with only bad carbs around. I actually have not eaten that much, but the bloat is quite dreadful. In between stuff, I have been reading 'The Plan' by this lady http://lyngenet.com/. It's about tracking reactive foods. An elimination diet of sorts.

I'm not organised enough right now to follow the 20 day protocol, but I will do so soon I'm sure. But for now, I figured out that I'm not drinking enough water so that is one immediate benefit. She also suggests dandelion tea too which I know helps with water retention. I quite like it so had a very large cup of it already this morning plus half a litre of water.

With friends around tonight, I want to cook something easy. Knowing they are likely to be on new year diets, I'm probably going to do something from the Hairy Dieters. They do eat sugar though and OH and I don't (even though I could taste it in some bread I ate this week), and I'm seriously out of practice making cakes and puds the traditional way. I best go off in search of ideas. :?: :?: :?:
