This morning I had put 0.25lb on, I was a bit disgruntled until I remembered that .....here it comes......I hadn't poo'd for a couple of days (told you it was t.m.i) and there we had the challenge of the day. How do I solve this?
I have continued with the diet as planned but started doing a bit of research. It turns out that this problem isnt uncommom during phase 1 because of how the diet is adjusted. We are mainly eating meat, vegetables and eggs. We can have the dreaded porridge or 50g brown rice which didn't much appeal but both of these could have helped with my problem. The other cure which is recommended by Zoe Harcombe is vitamin c. Now I have never heard of this as a cure for constipation but found loads of information on the web about it. Turns out that because it is water soluble your body takes what it needs then dispels what it doesn't need along with whatever else is there. Tah-dah, I've learnt something today.
Another t.m.i moment now, but this morning I disovered that I had been suffering my p.m.t days for the last few days and I hadn't noticed! No cravings, no 'I need chocolate NOW', nothing. Normally I eat non stop during this last week and yet I've still survived. I'm feeling more and more confident that this diet is better for my body and is the way to go.
Feeling much less fuzzyheaded than I have done for a few days but I have started with a cold so feel rubbish from that but otherwise I think I'm starting to feel brighter.
We tried the brown rice tonight. I was worried it was going to be bland but I boiled it and then fried it in chilli olive oil with some celery, spring onions and peas and it was very tasty. Will definitely be using brown rice again.
Now, fingers crossed that there is a little bit less of me in the morning.
