Thanks so much for visiting!
As c...<b>Rita Miller</b> Hi! Thanks so much for visiting! <br />As challenging as this eating plan is, I think it is one of the easiest ones out there because it is food based. I really like the progression of the plan.. restricting foods to only the most nutritious and gentle to your body and then gradually adding other equally nutritious foods back into your diet as your body adjusts to the super clean eating. In the end, we're left with a diet that should be consistent with every day healthy eating. It just makes so much sense. <br /><br />As far as your slip on day 3 eating Bulger wheat, I suggest you don't fret about it and just keep going with the detox plan. If you had already been following all the other rules for the first two days and then all the days subsequently, it's really just a minor blip in the radar. If you feel really guilty about it, maybe extend your week one restrictions one more day. If it were me, I'd just keep going. <br /><br />You may also want visit Sarah Britton's website My New Roots (she helped devise the plan and most of the recipes for Week 1) and read her post from last year's detox for a lot of great information that wasn't clearly outlined in the magazine. Be sure to read through the comments--a lot of people asked questions about the first week of the detox and Sarah answered most of them. I'm pretty sure someone asked the same question you did about accidentally slipping one day. <br /><br />Good luck! :) Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-72934933473609252862013-01-25T18:19:32.729-05:002013-01-25T18:19:32.729-05:00Hi! thanks for chronicling your progress with the ...Hi! thanks for chronicling your progress with the 2013 Action Plan. This is my first detox ever, but saw the need for it in my life, and found the food-based detox appealing and (what I thought) relatively easy. I'm learning a lot about the foods that I eat everyday, including Tabolui which i never knew was made with Bulger wheat. So, needless to say, I ate wheat on my 3rd into the first week. Not sure how this will affect my overall detox, but i don't plan on eating any more- any tips to maybe make-up for my bulgur slip?Kelly Parpovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256689757142613723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-30328547353728019142013-01-24T10:13:50.637-05:002013-01-24T10:13:50.637-05:00Joy, The soups were really delicious.

I plan to make both of them regularly. <br /><br /><b>orannia</b>, Thanks, it's going well. :) <br />Haven't you given up Coca Cola before? <br /><br /><b>Christina</b>, I don't think it would be advised to do a detox while you're nursing. The idea is to eat sparse amounts of foods.. and there's very little protein and carbohydrates in the first week. I don't think it would be good for the energy you need to sustain your energy levels AND produce milk. I would wait until the baby is at least a year old or weaned. But like you said, just making some changes to your diet along the lines of this clean eating plan can make a positive difference in helping your body function more healthfully and efficiently! <br /><br /><b>Brandy</b>, Those first several days were tough! I don't know where I found the will power to resist my regular foods. I almost cried when my husband brewed some coffee shortly after my daughter baked brownies. It was torture! <br /><br /><b>jama</b>Thanks! It's going really well so far! <br /><br /><b>Too Fond</b> Thanks, Beth. I'm in the same boat. I do all the food shopping, prep and cooking in my house, too, so it was really difficult come dinner time to be making yummy chicken and pasta or steak and potatoes for them and then broccoli soup for me. But I managed to get through it. I munched on some nuts while I cooked their food, which helped keep me from sampling their food. <br /><br /><b>Heather</b> Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed my post. I was afraid I was rambling and there was too much me, me, me but I didn't know how else to share this plan without sharing why and how I was doing it. Anyway, I'm the same as you.. no obvious problems with gluten but trying to reduce it in my diet. I'm going to try very hard to limit my servings of wheat to two a day when I'm finished with this plan. Two servings doesn't go far, either.. one slice of bread and 1/2 cup pasta and you're done! I hope you like the soups! :)<br /><br /><b>(Diane) bookchickdi</b> Thanks! I hope to post an update on Saturday with a recipe or two. :) <br /><br /><b>Angela</b> My husband does not do the detox with me. I don't think he buys into the science of it or its benefit to the body as much as I do. Regardless, he's very supportive and encouraging me to stick it out the full 21 days. But If he ever did do this plan, he'd make it look SO easy because he has the most incredible will power of anyone I know! <br /><br /><b>Alex</b> Broccoli soup IS nice! :P <br /><br /><b>Cindy Liebel</b> Hi! Thanks so much for visiting over here from Instagram! :) Last year was my first time doing a detox plan like this. The magazine does a really great job with the plan and the recipes. I'm sad this is the last one they'll be doing! Unless MS Living magazine picks up the tradition and does it for 2014. Should be interesting to see where they go with it. <br /><br /><b>Cecelia</b> Exactly! The soups are definitely keeper recipes. Thanks for the good luck wishes. Happy 2013 to you, too! :) <br /><br /><b>Beth F</b> The soups are indeed awesome! Great to have in your repertoire if you have vegan friends. They'd love them. <br /><br /><b>Pierce</b>Thank you! I'm so happy you're enjoying the magazine. So sorry they've cancelled the magazine. Did you get the Jan-Feb 2013 issue of Living? You should have. Let me know if you haven't. <br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-81117147545333998832013-01-21T16:33:49.484-05:002013-01-21T16:33:49.484-05:00Best of luck and success with this, Christine.

Having rice or rice pasta occasionally, making a green smoothie for lunch instead of a sandwich etc. Small steps, but I do think they all help. Will be looking for a copy of this issue. Have printed both soup recipes and am looking forward to trying them.

I'd seen the whole living detox plan from last year and thought it sounded like a good thing to try, but as I do all the cooking in our house it's quite difficult to manage my meals separately from everyone else's. Someday I'll try this...maybe when the girls are on vacation at the grandparents' house. <br /><br />I've read that Whole Living magazine is ending as well; sorry to hear that as I quite liked it.Too Fondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849859595618711755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-88832085521812587512013-01-20T04:53:49.973-05:002013-01-20T04:53:49.973-05:00Good luck with your detox plan -- those soups look...Good luck with your detox plan -- those soups look great! jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-80857746461908905812013-01-20T04:33:39.782-05:002013-01-20T04:33:39.782-05:00I admire you for doing the detox.
