GetFit Top Tip

..so i have finally got round to starting the elimination diet. I must admit that I had put it of a bit as it can sound a bit daunting, NO WHEAT( ie pasta bread etc) NO ALCOHOL, NO PROCESSED FOOD.

After Tim’s success and Leon starting it I thought it was about time I got on the band wagon too…..so what put me of to start with and how is it going so far?

My biggest concerns were what to eat for a start?? and time. As of now I am in day four. I started it over the weekend so that I had a bit more time to get the feel of it and to get a good idea of how much time it would take up. I am very quickly learning it is not time consuming at all!!

My biggest worry was what was i going to eat for breakfast?, normally I would have cereal, porridge or a type of muesli, as that is all processed that’s out of the window, which leaves you with EGGS for breakfast. Now i do like an omelet with veg in but not really my idea of a nice breakfast!!…. but a plain omelet with banana or strawberry’s and natural yog is actually really nice. I’m still getting a little bit of sweetness in my breakfast, it’s all natural, I get one of my fruit portions in at the start of the day and it takes just over 5 mins to do.

My other worry was tea. I love green tea!! and it does have good health benefits, but it is processed and it does still have caffeine in it, so that is out the window too. Now with winter clearly here the thought of plain water for a whole month is not exactly comforting. So I have been adding a squeeze of some fresh lemon in hot water, it allows some flavor and the comfort of a hot drink. I have found it a great substitute for a cup of tea.

It may only be 4 days but I’m finding it easier than I thought and I have already lost 1.5 kilos in just four days, I will keep you posted on my progress.

Bye for now Marie
