So today is the Dietitians dream come true, I get to spend all day at WHOLE FOODS!!!!  Yep, I’m in heaven.  I’ll spend the whole day taking groups of people on tours and working with my boss/fellow Dietitian, best day ever!  My goal is to take lot’s of pictures with a recap of all our favorite Whole Foods products and finds,  so hopefully I do well at that so I can recap soon!

Today I thought I’d just set an auto-post quickly recapping some of my D. TOX feelings at the half way point. (Day One Recap)

1. The fatigue is lessening, I wouldn’t call it increased energy, but definitely less fatigue than last week.  Not quite like a cup of coffee BUT I do like the feeling of knowing I won’t die or have a melt down if I don’t get some caffeine in me.  I used to get anxious about when I would “fit in” caffeine on busy mornings. Not because I really wanted it but because I didn’t want a slamming headache or something.
2. Craving a cup of coffee.  Not because I need it but because I like coffee.  I want it, I miss that super productive feeling.
3. I broke down and had some, okay, a lot of gum.  Definitely not D.Tox friendly given all the chemicals, extra Sauna time to balance it out?
4. Regularity.  I used to need coffee for that, I don’t anymore, I’ll leave it at that. 🙂
5. Bloating/Gassyness- well that’s personal, but true!  Oh the life of a blogger, the things I tell you people! Yes initially the detox nutrients, fibermend or both upset my stomach but it’s getting better.  Still taking my probiotic which I think helps.

1. At first I had a diminished appetite with D.TOX I’d say it still on the low side to normal.
2. Craving nut butter- almond butter, nutzo, whatever it is I’ll eat it.
3. Weight Loss- haven’t checked sorry can’t tell ya
4. Increased Water Consumption- it seems easier to get in water?
5. I really like VeganMax- I thought I would hate it but Mr. Hungry and I both love it!

That’s it!  Have a wonderful day!

Question of the day:

What’s your favorite green food?

Frozen Green Grapes are the bomb, but I also really love Avocados & Guacamole!
