Yes the link to dodgy health and vlcd's wouldn't and doesn't surprise me
I've decided to give the sugar free thing a go so today's menu comprised of the following ..
Natural live yogurt with seeds
A green fruit free smoothie: now , this was bloody hard to get down. Seriously yak worthy. It was spinach, avocado, parsley, cucumber , carrot, ginger and beetroot. Dear god - what a mission it was!
A 2 egg omelette with roasted baby carrots, peppers , tomatoes and beetroot
Oh and lots of water
I'm going to do five days of this purgatory hell and then see how I feel: I absolutely believe that it's carbs / sugar that's the baddie and not fats but blimey - it's hard to give up isn't it ?
I looked at the back of one of my protein bars - I currently favour these ones called ' Bounce ' - hmm - 12g of pure sugar in 42g. So I compared that to the live yogurt - 8g of naturally occurring sugar in 150g ... Interesting
I've done this plan before ( it's Zoe harcombe ) and each time dropped half a stone. This time I'm trying to improve my health though. I don't know if I have Candida ( don't suffer with thrush for example ) but after being so ill last week and having had repeated UTIs and feeling out of sorts for a few months now , I'm thinking it can't hurt to completely starve my body of sugar for a while.
How are we all feeling ?
I can't decide when to return to work - today is the first day I've actually felt 'ok' since Tuesday afternoon when I collapsed at work. I'm a bit worried about it happening again! Anyway - I'm deliberating either going back tomorrow or taking a few extra days. What do you think ? I don't have a poor sick record or anything like that but feel guilty for even thinking it! If I sat behind a desk all day it would be fine but I don't - I run around all shift.
Decisions !!!
sounds awful. umm mine started with sharp pain. in my upper tummy in the centre and then went onto my right side. also pain in my shoulders and lower back. the pain built up like a contraction. .where it starts off bearable until it peaks. but the actual pain was not like a contraction almost like a super painful sharp stitch??
