I dont actually know which day this ends on. I had thought by this time I would be cruising the meat counter at tesco with meat on my mind………steaks…..oh lord imagine not eating steak for 28 days! The strange thing is- its not at all difficult not eating meat, which is something of a surprise to a lieflong carnivore. Im not giving it up, I like meat, but I feel that I will reprioritise it in my diet.
No doubt I will be treating my colon to a bit soon, but Im not in any great hurry. Once again, as I have said in my earlier blogs, the result of the detox so far has been a major improvement in my well-being and so every time I think about letting loose on a high fat, super salt, lactose laden, gluten binge ( with fries) I honestly just dont feel like eating that way again. Its not worth it. I feel good, relaxed, mellow and happier than is normal for a northern Scottish presbyterian.
I am going to take a bit of time to learn some new recipes- some of the diet has been dull and tasteless, but some of it- mostly the soups are brilliant. Like any change I imagine it will take a bit of time and effort to ‘normalise’ and establsh new favourite thngs to eat.
Detox should not feel like penance and I think Heather and I have benefited from that outlook.
