Passing The Egg Test

In Flying Colors

Cycle 2

Diary of a JJ Virgin Diet Follower

 

 

Dear Diary,

I am nearing the close of my Eggs Test, where I reintroduced eggs back into my diet.  This is the fourth day that I included eggs in at least on of my meals. So far, I have had no symptoms and indicating intolerance to eggs. Another interesting thing is, I've discovered that eggs do not excite me as much as they did before starting The Virgin Diet.  They didn't even taste as good as I anticipated. Before the diet, I thought that I could not have breakfast unless I had eggs. For instance, every morning I use to have scrambled eggs(not free-range, antibiotic-free... just any ole eggs), bacon(not nitrate-free bacon...just bacon, grits(corn, corn, corn....no good...I had no clue) for breakfast. I thought that breakfast, my first meal of the day was a somewhat hearty, get-me-started, kind of meal. Until, The Virgin Diet! I don't think that I will be gorging out on eggs...they just don't seem to wow like before. Oh well! Anyway.

 From now on,  my morning breakfast will consist of a yummy smoothie with one of the wonderful organic berries, such as: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and occasionally dark cherries. I'll put the berries in the blender along with some So Delicious coconut milk, black chia seeds, and yellow pea protein. Blend it all together and Voila! Drink up! It's soo good too! 

In order to complete the Eggs Test throughout the rest of the week, from Friday to Sunday, I have to go eggs-free... no more eggs in my diet and continue to track any symptoms. 

Right now, I feel great, sleep well, have lots of energy, sharpened concentration and most importantly have still maintained a weight loss of 35 lbs.

Tomorrow, its breakfast smoothie on tap!

I can't hardly wait.

I created a Eggs Tester Journal and noted everything that I ate during the Eggs Test and the results are in a word... "Eggcellent"!

Thank Diary for being there for me.
