I'm following the UltraSimple Diet because a friend of mine had some great success with it. It's similar to Primal but does allow me to have rice, which is a bonus!
Picture is my breakfast.
Hot water with 1/2 organic lemon juice squeezed into it to start.
Smoothie with:
Flax seed oil - 1 tablespoon
Flax seeds - 1 tablespoon (would be better ground but I don't have a grinder)
Rice Protein Powder - 1 heaping tablespoon (vanilla flavoured)
Almond Milk - 1/2 cup. I'll change this to water once I lose a few pounds, but now it's calorie reduction and when I need to kick it up because I'll be thinner I'll switch.
Berries - handfull of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.
Banana - 1/2 frozen banana
Vitamin C - 1/4 teaspoon powder
My girlfriend adds spinach to her smoothie, I plan on trying that.
I also take Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin K, a probiotic and a liver detoxifying herb.
Throughout the day I drink an organic vegetable broth, a minimum of three cups per day.
Lunch is two cups of steamed or sauteed vegetables and 1/2 cup of brown rice.
Supper is either chicken or salmon with vegetables and rice (1/2 cup).
If you're hungry you can have more broth and/or another shake without the flax oil and fibre.
Sorry for the boring details, but some of you may be interested.
I've been sugar and wheat free for a week now and feel better mentally, likely due to taking back control of my eating. The above is a 7-day detox plan, I plan on going longer than 7 days, because it's food I like and I want the best results.
I'm frustrated with myself because last summer at this time I looked and felt better. But...I'm not going to cry over spilt milk, it's time to kick ass again. I have been exercising regularly in a small group with a personal trainer which is very beneficial.
I'm excited about being on the health trail again!
