Hmmm.   Well, I started on Monday 31st 2010.

First up was the lemon water or herbal tea choice.   I think the green tea I have was the wrong one, and I guess to break out of my comfort zone, I opted for the Lemon water.

That was hard to stomach, but by the end of the first week, I was actually used to it.  Its actually not that bad and  its quite refereshing in the morning.  I also have been leaving it in the  fridge overnight, so its cold in the morning.

Breakfasts

Alkaline Breakfast

Alkaline Breakfast

Breakfast was a ‘transition muesli’, supposedly to help you ween off the sugar slowly.   So there is banana’s and dried cranberries.  It looks great in the pic.  I think  there might have too much though.    I struggled to finish mine.   I’m not sure if that was because that followed on from the lemon water .   I also, I think I toasted my oats a bit too long (oooh er).   I think tomorrow, i’ll do half of what I prepared today.  it was actually reall nice (as I expected).   My portions in the morning shrunk,just so I could finish breakfast in time to get to work.

Smoothie

I only had 1 smoothie on the menu this week.
I’ll be honest.  I didnt like it at all.  It was a crazy concoction of EUGH.  I think I had about a 3rd.  From what I can recall, it was
  • 1 tomato
  • half a cucumber
  • A WHOLE lime
  • 1 avocado
  • spinich

Lunches

Alkaline Lunch

Alkaline Lunch

Lunch…..hmmm.  I’m not sure how I am going to tackle this.   It was;

  • crushed garlic
  • carrots sliced thin in circles
  • thinly sliced red cabbage
  • baby spinich leaves.
  • lemon juice
  • extra olive oil

And thats it.   Don’t get me wrong.  Its looks nice.   But I would never eat anything like this.

But the best one so far was the wraps.  I could not find a pic and my camera was being annoying at the time.

  • totilla wraps
  • chopped tomato x1
  • Third of Cucumber chopped.  baby spinich leaves.
  • lemon juice
  • extra olive oil
  • lettuce leaves
  • spinich leaves

Dinner

The dinners were something of my choosing from what is soon to be my old diet.   Savour everyone.  I had some nice ones, the best being Tikka Salmon with Cucumber Yogurt.   Hmmm goodness.

I have Jamie Oliver to thank for that one.
