Ready To Reintroduce Forbidden Foods
Cycle 1
Day 72
Diary of a JJ Virgin Diet Follower
Dear Diary,
With losing another pound, I'd say that I am quickly approaching the start of Cycle 2 of The Virgin Diet. So far, I've lost a 27 lbs. with 3 more to go before reaching my weight loss goal. Not to mention that I'm feeling fantastic, have more energy, better focus/concentration, better digestion, yep, better sleep too, and food taste so much better now(I guess the taste buds are working again).
It is time to prepare for the challenge of Cycle 2, the reintroduction of forbidden food into my diet. I also get to have my yummy smoothies in Cycle 2, woo hoo!
Cycle 1 took away the forbidden foods and now Cycle 2 will bring them back. However, JJ Virgin recommends to not revisit corn, peanuts, and sugar. In the past, soy has caused me a lot of problems, like: bloatiness, indigestion, fatigue, low energy, and more, so I will not be challenge it again. My list of reintroduced forbidden foods will include: eggs, diary, and glutens.
Get Ready To Test Drive
Each week I will test drive one of the forbidden foods from Monday-Thursday, rest from the forbidden food from Friday-Sunday, then write down and keep track of my symptoms, if any.
I realize that Cycle 2 will not give me the green-light to eat up everything in plain sight, especially those restricted food from Cycle 1, but, an opportunity to discover what my foods intolerances may be.. that is if I have any.
Sounds exciting!
Right now, I am preparing to start Cycle 2, but not until I reach the 30 lbs. weight loss marker which is just around the corner.
In preparation, I have to get my Trader's Joe, Wholefoods Health Foods, and Fresh Market Health Food grocery shopping list together. So, on my next trip to the health food store, I will be looking for items like free-range eggs, good glutens, and grass-fed diary. But first, trudge ahead toward that 30 lbs., weight loss.
Soon and Very Soon.
Any Day Now...
Diary, Cycle 2 is on the way.
