Days Five-Seven

Continue eliminating foods listed for Days 1-4, as well as legumes.  Eat only those fruits and vegetables as listed below:
-Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussel sprouts)
-Raw greens (red and green lettuce, romaine, spinach, endive)
-Fresh apples and pears (whole or freshly juiced)
-Bottled or canned apple and pear juice (no sugar added)

Increase powdered beverage mix-2 scoops four times per day

On day five I decided to try to make and eat kale chips for a snack.  They were horrible.  I almost "lost" my snack as they are super bitter.  I decided not to have those again. :)  Since I was already not a fan of cabbage or brussel sprouts, I ate a lot of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and salad for meals.  I also ate apples and pears for snacks and breakfast.

Emotionally, I was fine with my restrictions from this diet and not having too many cravings until day 7.  I really like steamed broccoli, but there are only so many times I can eat it before I am sick of it.  Three days of only eating a few fruits and vegetables gets rough.  Here's one thing I did make.


Green Smothie

I've had green types of smoothies before, but not quite like this one.  This one contained: 

Kale
Parsley
Apple
Pear
Water & Ice

Could it get any healthier?  Sheesh.  It wasn't horrible in flavor; I just wasn't a fan of the fact that it didn't really get totally smooth.  I'm sure I could have made it smoother if I wanted to add more water, but that would have diluted the taste to the point that I wouldn't have enjoyed it.  Anyway, DAY 8 tomorrow: I can eat different food!
