I have heard it all, from headaches, cravings, a few screams and irritations! Is it not amazing what sugar is doing to our bodies?! Hang in there – find new things to eat. Don't just NOT eat - experiment. At this stage of the detox you can eat yogurt (try activa or the weight watchers --- LITE), sugar free pudding with skim milk. Eat bananas, apples…. Sugar free cookies (if you have too)
Tell yourself you can make it – The whole process is only 3 weeks. That is nothing on the scale of life as a whole. You will feel so good in the end & also have a proud sense of accomplishment.
This is far more a mental challenge than it is your body needing any of this stuff we are deleting. One thing I have learned is that our bodies do not need most of what we give it. If we would stop looking for food to fulfill our needs (especially our boredom) & realize we need very little to survive, selecting the foods we eat would be guilt free. After a few weeks the bodies ability to adjust to the new standard is phenomenal. You will amaze yourself at what you can do & the way you will feel. But, in the beginning you will have to suffer detoxing the crap you have adapted too.
Now stay focused!
