Purification Day 1: Starting Strong

Today I started a 21 day purification through Standard Process. Basically for 21 days I can only have certain fruits, vegetables and brown rice. On the 11th day I can then add in fish and chicken.

In order to give my body all of the nutrients it needs, I also need to take around 10 pills, three times a day. Holy moly, taking all of those pills is definitely going to be annoying. I also need to have two or three shakes a day that I add supplements to.

Here are the supplements and pills I take every day!

I take these 3 times a day.

The whole point of this is to rid my body of toxins, and this can also work as a weight loss program. Although I don't need to lose weight I decided to take my measurements to see if anything changes in these next three weeks.

I'm a big meat lover, cheese lover, and chocolate lover so this purification is definitely going to be a challenge. Surprisingly, all of the food I ate today was delicious and I'm not missing my favorites...yet.

Supposedly the first few days are the worst and you can feel a bit sick. I didn't feel too bad today, although I did feel a bit light headed and groggy. And can we talk about how much I have to go to the bathroom? All. The Time. We'll see how tomorrow goes!


Here were my meals for the day: 

Breakfast: Strawberry-Banana Shake
- 2 bananas
- 7 small strawberries
- teaspoon of coconut oil
- orange juice
- crushed ice
- 1 tbs of SP whole food fiber
- 2 tbs of SP whey pro complete
- 2 tbs of SP complete

(Delicious but it made two glasses. Next time I'll stick with one banana)

Lunch: Mango-Avocado-Spinach Shake
- 1 avocado
- 1 mango
- 1 cup of spinach
- 1 bottle of coconut water
- crushed ice
- 2 tbs of SP whey pro complete
- 2 tbs of SP complete

(I love the way avocado tastes in shakes! I'll definitely make this again. This was enough for three people (I'm doing the purification with my parents) so you don't need as much if it's just for you.)

Dinner: Stuffed Peppers and Salad
Stuffed Peppers:
- 4 large red peppers
- 2 cups of mushrooms
- 1 yellow onion
- chard
- 1 1/2 cups of wild rice
- can of roasted tomatoes
- Cook rice. Sauté mushrooms, then add onions and chard and olive oil. Combine rice and vegetables into peppers. In a pan pour some of the roasted tomatoes, put peppers on pan, pour the rest of tomatoes into the peppers. Bake for 1 hour.

Salad:
- spring mix & arugula
- grape tomatoes
- scallions
- mushrooms
- Pomegranate Balsamic from The Filling Station & olive oil
