The body adjusts

I know my body, probably like most people's body, always has an adjustment period when make a diet change. Last night I was doing yoga at home and when I got to my belly for some poses I suddenly did not feel very well. Hmmm, what is this, i thought. did I eat too many raw nuts covered in the cocoa syrup? What is happening here?
I'm not sure what it was but it was unpleasant. My body is probably adjusting to the lack of gluten, sugar, caffeine, which is completely foreign.

Anyway, I have been sticking with morning smoothies. This is working out well for me. I start by adding whatever my nut might be. I've tried cashews, almonds and today sunflowers. I read the labels this morning and realized that sunflowers have the most protein! When mixed with berries, bananas, flax and greens I don't think the "milk" base matters.
I also tried a "soup" yesterday. Yellow Squash, Butternut Squash, Tomato, ginger and salt. It turned out well.

  1. I hate dairy & meat at lunch today & TOTALLY regret it. It feels like a dead, smelly man is rolling around inside my intestines trying to get out. UGH. Live & learn.
