Down 2 pounds, so the diet switch-up is working. Maybe it's a few things: I started weighing my food, which I was worried would make me obsessive, but it's more gadgety fun instead. I also tracked my calories this time, which I'm stopping now because I've established that no matter how much fruit I eat in a day, I'm never going to hit even 900 calories. So it's an established "safe" food for me. Thirdly, I didn't eat any salt or added sugar this week (I take my coffee black anyway, and I cut out my usual teaspoon of sugar in my hot tea, which reduced its flavor, but not enough to bother me).
I tried a new food this week: frozen grapes (OMG -- why have I never tried these before??? They're like candy!).
After a week of all fruit, the side effects for my skin is nothing short of amazing. I woke up this morning and my face is smooth, clear and GLOWING. Another bonus is that all week I've had tons of energy. Fruit being a carb, this is to be expected, but still a nice experiment. Sleep totaled 6-7 hours/night.
Downside: Some of the fruits made me belly-bloated (watermelon, grapes), in part because of their high water content, but also because I ate 5+ cups of them each day. I was fine by morning, and I realize that this past week of all-fruit was just the cleanse portion, but it wasn't the best feeling. 😕
This week's menu is still heavy on the fruit, but breads and veggies are being added in slowly. Happy Sunday, Everyone! Wishing you success for your efforts this week!
