First of all, yes it was challenging in the first days. But it is totally doable! You just have to commit to it! Find something that motivates you and drives you!
On the first days I spent most of my free time reading blogs of other people who had done this (hence why I decided to share my experience) and it was a great motivator to know other people had gone through the same thing as me. I will later post the details of how I've been doing this diet change. But here is a little visual of my grocery list for the first week (I did eat more than this and things that were not on the picture).
The first day was great! It was a Sunday, I worked out and was feeling great!
On Monday though, I woke up shaky, not feeling well. Had a fog in my head most of the day. I did not get crazy headaches, but I felt strange! I never went hungry in this whole time! I think since this is a big change I am eating allowed foods freely.
Day 3- Was very similar, fighting the urges and staying away. Mornings and nights were the worse! I just felt weak almost. I also noticed my skin was more bumpy this day and I felt like I was sweating a lot (but that might be due to the fact it was hot and I was moving but still).
Day 4- I woke up feeling groggy at first, but then again I always do and like magic I was feeling amazing before my coffee! WHAT??? I usually don't even open my eyes before my french press has been pressed down! I had a lot of energy this day and was feeling very motivated by that. I also felt like I wasn't hungry ALL the time. Before I would get these sudden urges to eat and that didn't seem to happen as much.
I will list some the resources that I used: I bought a great E-Book called I quit Sugar by Sarah Wilson that helped me a lot. The more I read and got informed I got more inspired to keep going. I wasn't actually that tempted to eat sweets anymore and that felt like FREEDOM to me, who a week before devoured a bag of chocolate chip cookies in two days.
Strength!!
