SURPRISE
As I made a batch of wonderful Mushroom Crepes out of Gluten Free flour mix, I certainly did not expect any problems. But, surprisingly enough the crepes proved to be an issue. (a bit of bloating/gas)
I tested my theory two days in a row - same result. I looked up the individual flours :
Sorghum, Tapioca and Potato Starch.
Sorghum and Tapioca are (apparently) known to cause problems in some people...

Oatmeal Once More:)
If I missed something badly: it was Oatmeal.
It took me YEARS to establish a good breakfast habit - then, with the detox, it was out the window...
Smoothies kind of replaced it, but did not give the same satisfaction or fullness.
Oatmeal is back on the menu:) I'm going enjoy myself once more.

Still Here
It's a bit of a challenge, not necessarily to stick with the plan, but to have food ready when it's needed.
Since the rest of the family is not on board for the detox, often, I find myself searching for food when I'm hungry. I've eaten so much fruit and nuts for quick energy...:)
Mung Bean Pasta I need to keep in mind for the future. It's very pleasant and a good alternative to regular pasta....
I'll be quite ready for grains by Friday... Smoothies are great but they are not the oatmeal I enjoy usually in the mornings.:)

Weekend
I am still sticking with the plan.
The weekend continued pretty well on the same note but with the added benefit of Black Eyed Peas,
Crispy Tofu Slices, Soy Yogurt and the like.
I made a lovely dish with Sauteed Oyster Mushrooms and Wild Rice. I must not forget to make it again.
The greens:
many baby greens: baby spinach, baby romaine, baby arugula.
My weight is pretty steady. Energy level is pretty good. This is pretty close to my normal diet - minus the grains (:() and the dairy.
I've got used to the absence of coffee - it's quite alright. Tea is keeping me pretty even and happy. Yoga is the right exercise (or at least it feels right) during detox.

PROTEIN!
I needed it:)
I was so happy with my Black Eyed Pea soup- I did not even miss my usual Pita...
Tonight, I added Tofu to the mix.
I fully anticipated some bloatedness and ummm.... how to put this delicately, more activity in the intestines - but there was minimal change.
My hope with this detox, is to find what exactly is the cause of it.
I don't think I lost any weight - or maybe a minimal amount. I'm eating too well for that:). It was not my objective in the first place.
My friend asked me what I missed the most. My answer: oatmeal. Seriously.
Today was the first day that I missed having chocolate and that passed very quickly... Odd.
