De-tox Day Two

Day two, I decided to have gluten-free waffles, no syrup. Today, I realized what a filler gluten really is. Gluten also hides what our bodies really want.  When I eat gluten, I rarely have any thing green on my plate.  And I don’t eat fruit.  Going gluten-free means my body has space and what I really need to nourish my body surfaces- the greens.  Spinach for my anemia.  Blueberries.  Orange, pear and banana smoothies.

No gluten= space. Space to listen to what is natural and nourishing for our bodies and minds.

Simple.

It Begins With a Fast

Shortly after moving to California, I fell off the gluten-free wagon. I had one too many cheeseburgers and donuts. After awhile, I started to feel miserable. Depressed. Irritable. Weak. Fatigued. Sore muscles. Heavy Breathing. Instead of thinking it was gluten, I thought it was something else. I guess I didn’t want to give up my donuts and my cheeseburgers.

But then on a Friday night. Not the first of the year. Not a Monday morning. Just some random Friday night, I decided not to eat dessert. Made a cup of green tea instead and for the next three days I de-toxed. De-tox for me meant, no gluten. No dairy. No sugar. 

Here is my Day One Detox Breakfast:
