We are nearing the end of Phase 2 already and I am looking forward to it. By day 29 we will be eating our new "normal" foods, everything we eat now plus sprouted grains. That will be nice to be free to eat sandwiches, pizza, etc. I am searching for sprouted grain pizza crust and tortilla wraps.
By then we will be out of the "detox" phase of the diet.
While it's still been only 25 days we have had things change. I was hoping to have more energy by now, but that isn't quite there. Like I said before, I don't think I feel as tired, I am just extremely unmotivated to do anything lately. I am not sleeping much thru the night (Willa, not because I can't sleep) and it's dead of winter in Michigan. That really makes a difference, although the past few weeks have actually been sunny...but around zero, so I guess you can't have it all. So maybe it's just winter that has me feeling un-energized. Who knows.
The best thing so far is that we have been 25 days without being sick. I know this doesn't sound like a lot, and it's super easy to forget once we are healthy, but before christmas the kids were literally getting sick 3-4 times a month. So by that we should have had at least 3 colds by now and we haven't had any! That is a miracle in itself.
As far as cravings go, I don't necessarily have "cravings", but sometimes I just feel like once we are done with the 40 days, I could eat pizza and pop and double cheeseburgers again. But some other things are definitely sounding nasty now. It will be difficult to find the balance of eating "treats" once in a while and treating ourselves all the time. Like if I had a coke, could I indulge 1x a month or 1x a year and draw the line? Or is it more like a true addiction that you can never indulge again?
