Lot's of chicken broth, a little chicken, one organic grapefruit, and as much water as I could want. I did have cravings twice, and pushed past them. It helped to eat a little chicken, and drink a cup of broth. That took the hunger pangs away.
It didn't help that my husband brought in 2 frozen pizzas from the outside freezer. I LOVE those little Totino's pizzas. I could eat a whole one to myself easily. SO, I told the family I was going to disappear while they cooked and ate the pizza. I filled up my cup of broth, and went to take a nice hot bath. In the bath I did some EFT tapping. I told myself, "I don't need food, I am getting all the nutrients I need in this broth. I don't need food. This broth is all I need. Even though I love pizza, I don't need pizza or anything else....". I think it helped.
To hide the pizza aroma, I put a few drops of essential oils in my bath. I used a drop of peppermint, and a couple drops of valor. I never smelt the pizza, and the family had it gone and cleaned up before I got out of the bath.
I went to bed at 9:00 and had no problems.
I woke up this morning feeling great. My foot pain (plantar Fasciitis) was exactly as it has been for the past 5 plus months. I had hopped that I could at least walk without a limp. No luck, my foot hurt all day at work, and still hurts when I stand. I am guessing that my foot pain is not caused by a leaky gut.
Even if my foot pain does not change, I will still do this detox. I take Enbrel shots monthly for RA, and I know arthritis is caused by a leaky gut. Certain foods I eat when my shot wears off, make a huge difference in my pain. I am doing this detox to re-set my metabolism, and fix my leaky gut. I want to be healthier.
Today was so much easier than yesterday. I cooked my kids eggs, and cleaned the kitchen. No cravings at all! I made tacos for the family tonight, and no problem. I do love tacos though, so every time I thought about the smell and flavor, I would tell myself, "I don't crave food, I am getting all the nutrients by body needs in the broth. I don't need food. I don't crave or need any food." I also put some lavender essential oil under my nose to help mask the smell.
One point of advise, put your broth in a coffee thermos that will keep it hot or warm for hours. Cold broth does not taste good at all. My broth was warm all day at work in my thermos. I was never grossed out. I will drink from that from now on.
