Whole Grain Momma

In addition to the No Poo experiment we have also decided to embark on a 4 day Detox journey starting next week. I know 4 days doesn't sound like much but it is all part of a month long process of creating major changes in our bodies as a whole. We are beginning with a detox, followed by a clean diet and a detox exercise plan. On the first week we will be preparing our bodies for the 4 day detox. Three days prior to the detox we will be focusing on eating whole grains, vegetables, fruit, fish, and chicken.

We will be avoiding the following foods:

Dairy and eggs, Butter and mayonnaise, all types of grains, certian fruits and vegetables such as oranges, orange juice, corn, creamed vegetables, animal protein: pork, beef, veal, sausage, cold cuts, canned meats, frankfurters, shellfish, vegetable protein: soybean products (soy sauce, soybean oil in processed foods, tempeh, tofu, soy milk, soy yogurt, textured vegetable protein), nuts and seeds: peanuts and peanut butter, oils: shortening, processed oils, salad dressings, and spreads, drinks: alcohol, caffeinated beverages, and soft drinks, sweeteners: white and brown refined sugars, honey, maple syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, and evaporated cane juice
and condiments: chocolate, ketchup, relish, chutney, barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce.

It seems like a lot to cut out but this is necessary in order to prepare the body for the liquid detox that will follow. I will be posting our progress with the detox as well as my progress with the No Poo!
