Hope y'all don't mind if I use this space as a little update place for me while changing food habits around here continues, cause today. was. rough. It started off with a nice morning of unsettled tummy, which super worried me due to, as alluded to in the last post, a not so nice tummy bug over Thanksgiving that swept through my in-laws like the plague, only to skip me. "Great," I thought, "the sickness is just now catching up with me." Except that the nausea was interlaced with a plain grumbly stomach.
Yeah, it didn't occur to me that 3-4 days into a diet/eating healthy foods and completely eliminating sugars and dairy from my diet (minus the starches and the 3x a week cottage cheese I'm allowed), my body would revolt. Yup. Wasn't exactly prepared for that. I called into work and spent the morning fighting headache, weird stomach, and plain fatigue.
It's good and a reminder of how pathetic my food choices have been if my body is revolting this much. In my Google search of "sick on day 4 of diet???", I did also read that how long your body revolts after a major diet change can also be affected by other considerations, including stress. I assume the more stressful your life is at the time, the longer your body may feel yuck. This too shall pass.
And can I just say, and continue to say, how awful tasting and stupid and aggggh aggravating protein drinks are?!?! For real people, even if you disguise it as hot chocolate, that stuff is the worst contribution of the corporate diet world. Make your food scientists work harder to disguise that chalky monstrosity!
I'm done :-)
