Transition Diet: A 60-day challenge!

The prepackaged garden salad I had this morning really felt like a healthy bag of chips… 😄 – and I’m actually looking forward to positively craving it as a snack!

It’s barely the 3rd day of a 60-day transition diet and my mind already feels less foggy. I don’t think I’ve ever described the feeling inside of my skull like that, except for maybe once (when I sprayed some oven cleaner on the stove and didn’t wear a mask).

I mean I’ve had migraines in the past, especially when I lived in the big city, but I did a detox in Mexico that cleaned out my system. The detox was only for two weeks though. My headaches became very minimal, especially after I returned to the states and moved out of the big city.

The headaches seemed to have returned this summer, after eating whatever I could (even BK!) for the past two years. Now that I’m eating more greens though, it makes sense that I’d call this transition diet a dissipation of brain fog. Maybe I’ve had an underlying issue, that I wasn’t aware would change so quickly with this diet, but I’m just going to leave it at that… I now have a greater reason to stick to the plan.

My great friend started two months ago, on the 9th of May, and went down a few pant sizes. He even lowered his A1C levels.

I started on the 9th of July with a multivitamin, five boiled eggs, and some sunflower seeds. With a kratom capsule in the morning and one in the evening, I didn’t feel hungry throughout the day. I made sure to drink some water too.

By the way, if you’re unfamiliar with kratom – please do your research. Find a reputable health food retailer for it.

The next day, on the 10th of July, I had three microwave poached eggs and any leftover sunflower seeds that I could find in a container of trail mix.

I ended up feeling hungry and with a headache that evening. I must have been thirsty. My daughter seemed to notice too because she kept filling up a water bottle that lately I’ve been calling my sippy cup.

That great friend of mine showed up in the evening and helped me pick out some vegetables and nuts from the local trading post.

So, for dinner, I had two celery sticks and two long carrots. I also had two handfuls of peanuts, two handfuls of walnuts, and two handfuls of sunflower seeds… which later became the rest of the 2 oz bag!

I woke up more clear-headed and a little thirsty early this 11th of July. I had two handfuls of walnuts and the wonderful bag of salad that I mentioned. I also had microwave poached eggs again – two of them.

It feels good to be doing this. I have the same variety of nuts available and I think I’ll have a cucumber for lunch. Now I’m just wondering who else is on a similar plan…
