I have noticed many things so far:
- I now get hunger pangs instead of sugar cravings, which means I eat what my body desires, which means today, for the first time in years, I ate a carrot stick (raw) followed by a celery stick.
- These "messages" are normally dulled/silenced by sugar cravings and mood swings.
- This is easy to stick to, as I am not giving up wheat/bread and meat etc...
- I say that, as I used to be a Yoga Teacher, so previous detoxes would be extreme. This, considering I haven't done yoga since 2010 is really doable for me, and as a result I am sticking to it.
- I can already tell that I will implement deeper changes, once my body has adjusted.
- Already, sugar tastes too sweet. The other day (Monday or Tuesday) Aaron's ice cream was dripping and just the lick I gave to stop it, tasted too sweet. Same, when I licked chocolate off his fingers. Both times I did it on purpose, as I was like I am not eating it, it's okay, but both times it was too sweet so I decided not to miss the sugar.
- I didn't have any coffee Monday or Tuesday as I thought I would miss the sugar, but today I caved in and had one and it was delicious. Today my taste buds kicked in, and I could taste and enjoy, really enjoy, the Kenco without needing sugar.
- Giving up sugar improves your appetite, your mood AND your taste buds.
- I expected it to be hard but I am enjoying it.
So, I am off for now, but I promise a more detailed post will come soon.
