Weight Loss Update

Okay, something fishy's going on here! Either our bathroom scale is not working properly or Jeremy is forgetting about some major food cheating! The scale said he gained a bunch of weight this week, when he actually was eating pretty well.

We may take our scale back and try another one. In the meantime, Jeremy has picked up a detox kit. Our chiropractor has strongly recommended that Jeremy consider doing a cleansing / detox for his system. With all the unhealthy eating over the years and all the stomach problems Jeremy has had, he figured it was time!

After doing some research Jeremy bought a Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Program. He began last night and over the next 12 days, Jeremy's system will get a complete cleaning and overhaul! In the next few days he may experience some irritability, fatigue, nausea, flu-like symptoms, low energy, headaches...! And I'm guessing that he will experience every symptom simply because he's never cleansed out his system before. But then again, he has been eating quite healthy lately. But after that, it sounds like everything should be great! He should feel more energy and feel better all around. He started last night and already he is noticing some action happening! Oh, and he could lose up to 10lbs during the next week and a half!

During this 12-day program, he has to eliminate all yeast products from his diet. That includes breads (he was only eating low-carb ones anyway), some fruits (apparently some are high in yeast?!), and vinegars. We have been making our own salad dressings lately, using olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some Epicure herbs/seasonings. Now we will have to use lemon juice in place of the vinegar, but that's okay. We should survive!

Look for updates on this newest adventure!
