Not the most auspicious start to my 30 day detox. Yesterday I could feel myself coming down with a cold so when I woke up this morning I felt pretty ropey.
My day has been filled with sleeping, and drinking lots of fluids – namely water, herbal teas and hot water infused with lemon, lime and ginger (great for the immune system). I didn’t feel much like eating but eventually made some vegetable soup for this evening.
In some ways this may have worked for the best. Not that I want to be ill, but I was dreading coming off the coffee and sugar, and expected some pretty bad headaches from the caffeine withdrawal (it’s happened before). So, feeling a bit grotty meant I didn’t feel like coffee or sugary foods anyway and, while I did get headaches, I expect them when I have a cold.
I’m already straying from the exact 30 Day Detox eating plan that Trisha Stewart lays out in her book Healthy Tart, but I figured that would happen a little bit anyway (and she says that’s OK) but I will be sticking to the main principles.
And, as soon as I feel like eating more, I’ll be trying some of those great recipes.
