To follow up on yesterday's post, I thought I'd give an example of a typical day on my detox diet.
Breakfast: Oatmeal with rice milk and berries
Mid-Morning: Detox shake; Clementine
Lunch: Quinoa-Vegetable Soup & rice crackers and Superfruit shake
Teatime: Detox shake; Apple
Dinner: Pecan-crusted chicken breast with brown rice mix and broccoli
It is entirely do-able, but requires planning. The only problem I've had has been in getting off caffeine. I had some bad migraines the first two days, but only had a light headache yesterday afternoon.
It's also hard thinking about having to do this over Thanksgiving. Yet, there will always be a reason not to do this, so I've just gotta do it now. For Thanksgiving, I will be making a quinoa and dried fruits dish to have in place of stuffing (my favorite food, waa!) and my mom is going to give me some stuffing to freeze that I can have once I'm off the detox. I'm also going to try and see about making some mashed potatoes, dessert and maybe, bread that I can eat as well.

I repeat from yesterday, you rock.
Though I am with you on the stuffing - that is the best.
I admire your dedication.
How's JD's job going?
I agree, you rock! I read your post on the Detox overview. It sounds a bit like WeightWatchers Core, except more strict and minus the chalky shakes. Definitely requrires lots of planning, but I feel SO much better when I'm doing it right. Hope it goes well for you!!
Oooh that's tough. I hadn't even thought about Thanksgiving. The planning ahead is always the hardest part for me. I love to cook but somedays I come home from work and just want to order a pizza and be done with it. I'm so impressed with your resolve! Keep up the kickass work!
Good for you and Good luck! Very admirable.
Wow, that sounds really healthy and I thought I'd chime in with the admiration! Stuffing though...mmm...
Wow, the meals you have listed really don't sound bad at all (although I would be sad, too, if I couldn't eat Thanksgiving stuffing!). What exactly is in the detox shakes?
Good luck with everything!
I am so proud of you for holding that perspective that there is always a reason and to fight through this.
Good for you! It doesn't sound like too much change...although anything this time of year is tough!
I agree with another poster who said that it sounds like Weight Watchers core program. Very, very healthy. You sound so determined. I look forward to reading more posts about your detox! I am hoping for inspiration. I can't seem to stop stuffing my face. Yikes.
I found your blog from stirrup queens . I hope your next cycle is the one:) I'll be following along.
