Any fish will do, but your skin will benefit from the EFAs found in oily fish, such as sardines, tuna, and salmon. (pg. 29) I only like non-fishy fish, like fried grouper so I just repeated Day 6. Day 7 was especially hard for me, because I knew how close to the end of detox I was, that I just kept wanting to be like, "Well, it's almost over, so what's quitting early?" Plus, I was just ready to eat whatever I was craving again, but again I persevered.
For breakfast I ate yogurt with granola. For lunch we went out to eat. About the only thing on the menu I could eat was a summer salad, with mixed greens, red onions, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and cucumbers. I used the raspberry vinaigrette sparingly. Oh, and there was feta cheese on it, which I do not think I am allowed to eat, but I figure feta of all cheeses must be kind of like the yogurt with live enzymes or whatever, right??? So, I'm going to consider that a partial cheat. I didn't really eat dinner. I mostly just snacked on some banana chips, sunflower seeds, and granola throughout the evening.
I did not exercise, but I had a pretty full day of outdoor fun with my family.
Thank the Lord, I made it through one week of detox. I am very proud of myself for my determination. I was not perfect, but I was close enough. During my week of detox I dropped five pounds. I also dropped five pounds during my prep for detox week. So, in the past two weeks, I have dropped 10 lbs. total. I am happy with my weight now. My goals for weeks 2-4 of bikini fit is to maintain a healthy lifestyle that introduces myself and my family to foods that are healthy and good for our bodies, and to introduce some exercise into my life. All in all to be bikini fit and ready for the summer.
