Detox Day 9

So I'm a little over a week into my detox and I'm feeling better than ever...Ok maybe I cheated on Sunday Funday, but I'm only human! As soon as Monday rolled around I was back at it..Until Tuesday night at the Heat game (oops). But I just had Vodka Soda (not like I ate a huge steak). So other than a few slip ups, I've pretty much stuck to the plan. I've gotten super creative in the kitchen and I'm loving more than ever my trips to Costco and Publix. When the 21 days are up, I've decided I'm going to give up red meat for a good while. I totally don't crave it and on the contrary I actually get a bit woozy when I see/or think of eating it. My favorite meal thus far is definitely Lunch. Before it would have been Breakfast/Brunch because I'm such an egg fanatic but as you all know, eggs are not something I can eat on the detox. I want to share a few yummy food pics/recipes for those also participating and are getting bored in the kitchen. Here you see a bowl of lentil soup. It's very light and brothy. First I start by boiling the lentils with a couple bay leaves, salt, pepper, diced garlic, garlic salt, and cumin. After a while I add chopped onions, red bell pepper chopped, large diced carrots. Let it simmer on low/medium heat and then season to taste. Add Lime and cilantro to finish. Its very healthy and a great vegetarian option. You can also add snow peas for color.
This is one of my favorite salads. In a bowl whisk together the juice of one large lime, a couple tables spoons of Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, and Siracha (if you like it spicy). Add diced onions, a grated carrot, diced red bell peppers, cucumbers large dice, avocado, and cilantro. Mix it all together and serve with any dish! Top it with more siracha if you'd like. You taste all of the natural flavors in this salad. It's amazing. Below is a photo sans siracha.
If you are a full time vegetarian, part time detoxer, or a full blown meat eater, these Boca Burgers are truly satisfying for all! Just heat a skillet and cook them a few minutes on each side. If you want the burger effect then eat it with a whole wheat bun or eat it with the salad above. When I had my first bite of these yummy things I was so surprised at how it really tasted like meat. But it's actually soy. DEFINITELY recommend.
Don't forget to wash it all down with some nice Orange Limeade!! (no sugar) ENJOY! -Shocolaategirl

DAY 2: The Daniel Fast

Hi all, Shocolaategirl here..Last weekend I was at a Bridal Shower for a good friend. While I was there I ran into another girlfriend who was looking better than ever. She was telling me about this "Fast" she was participating in. For her it is a Religious Fast. The first 6 days of her fast, she lost 6 pounds. And she was looking thin and slim so automatically I was interested in how she did it. When you fast for Religious reasons it is not supposed to be to lose weight. For that reason, this is not a Religious fast for me.Rather a Detox. While the rest of us were sipping Champagne and eating imported cheeses and crackers as well as our Cordon Bleu Crepes, My GF (Deziree) was only drinking water and eating grapes. I felt super bad for her! But hey, shes devoted and she's sticking with it!! So a day later I asked her what the guidelines were. She sent me the link and started right away. I think that when you start a diet/detox/any kind of weight loss program, the last day you should start is on Monday. You should start as soon as you are prepared , if that's Tuesday than so be it! For me it was (Yesterday/Tuesday). When I started Tweeting about what I was doing, I got a couple to join in! They are shopping this week an are going to start on Monday.We are using a hashtag on Twitter called #DanielFastPB. Incase you feel like joining after reading! Post all of your thoughts/recipe ideas or whatever you feel like with that hashtag. To break down the detox simply it's basically like this. No meat(including chicken, fish, or any other animal), no Caffeine (This is hard for me because I suffer from bad headaches, so I'm allowing myself 4 oz every morning for the first week), No Sugar or Sweeteners (YES THAT MEANS NO CHOCOLATE) (Must be naturally sweetened), No Dairy or eggs, No ALCOHOL, and lastly NO White Carbohydrates. It sounds like a lot of things right? Well actually i've been searching for recipes and come up with quite a few good ones. This detox makes it easy be creative in the kitchen. The best part about this detox, YOU GET TO EAT EVERY 3 HOURS!! I mean seriously what is better?! Yesterday upon waking up I made a huge pitcher of Lemon/Orange/Cucumber infused water. I've been drinking this stuff all day, it has curbed my appetite and the fruit adds a nice flavor rather than just the same old water. Here is a photo of the yummy stuff!!
For dinner I am making a Vegetable Thai Soup *Spicy. I'll upload a photo as soon as it's done. Here is the recipe for those interested! A deep soup pot Extra Virgin Olive Oil (enough to coat the pot) 1 HUGE Yellow Onion (Large slices) 4 cloves Garlic (Minced) 2 Tsp Fresh Ginger (Diced) 1/4 C Red Bell Pepper (Small dice) 2 Bay Leaves 1 dried red chili (Whole) Salt and Pepper to taste Garlic powder Vegetable broth (1 box) 2 Large Carrots (small chop) 6-8 Mushrooms (Chopped) 1 C Peas 1 tomato (diced) Lemon or Lime Cilantro (and lots of it) In the pot sautee the onions, garlic, ginger , bell pepper, red chili and bay leaves. Let these items sweat. Season with Salt, pepper and garlic salt. Add the vegetable broth, on medium heat add the rest of the ingredients except for the cilantro. Lower the heat, let simmer for 20 mins. Add cilantro for garnish. To thicken the soup add 1/2 C of lentils. Add them at the beginning process to allow proper cooking with the rest of the ingredients. I will keep you all posted with more recipes! If you feel inspired to start the detox please let me know!
