Days 4 and 5 of the 10-day detox and I am feeling GREAT! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost
6 pounds thus far. Wooo Hooo. I am sure it is mostly water and other “stuff”
because I have been going to the bathroom like crazy!
As detox’s go, this one is not that
difficult. It is similar to how I eat normally, however I am not always cognizant of my portion sizes. My health coach is holding me accountable
by making sure I stick to adequate portions for each meal. She gave me the following as a guide:
From bloodsugarsolution.com: Portion Sizes
Understanding portion sizes is a key component in creating
healthy, balanced meals while supporting weight loss. The following are the
serving sizes for some common foods:
·
Fruit: 1 medium piece, 1 cup berries, ½ cup
mixed fresh fruit ¼ cup dried fruit
·
Starch vegetables: 1 serving = 1 cup winter
squash or ½ sweet potato.
·
Non-starchy vegetables: 1 serving = 3 cups salad
greens, 1 cup raw or ½ cup cooked
·
Meat, chicken, fish: – 1 serving = ½ cup cooked
·
Whole grains: 1 serving = 1/3 cup cooked
·
Beans: 1 serving = 1/3 cup cooked or canned
·
Nuts or seeds: 1 serving -1/4 cup or one small
handful
What I’ve realized during this detox is that consuming whole
foods and drinking plenty of water will most certainly satisfy and sustain you.
