I’m overweight. I have food intolerances that I pretend I don’t have (wheat/gluten). I have really low mood. And I’m certain a big chunk of it is diet related (before kids I was a “clean eater” 90% of the time for 4 years... that went out the window after DS was born and I became an LP...)
Long story short I’ve gone from a size 10 to a size 14/16, my hair and skin have gone to shit, and I’m bloated like I’m 6 months pregnant.
Not looking for a quick fix, but a short sharp shock to remind myself how much better I feel when I eat properly. So I’m doing a 3 day (maybe will extend it) “wholefood cleanse” which I’ve entirely made up to suit me 
Rules are basically:
- no refined carbohydrates (pasta, bread, etc) or sugars (biscuits, cake etc)
- no alcohol
- cook everything from scratch
- salt okay in small amounts
- dairy okay in small amounts (ie milk in coffee, one piece of cheese per day for snack)
- non wheat whole grain/pulses is fine in unlimited amounts - wholegrain rice, chickpeas, lentils
- 8 glasses of water per day
- start the day with lemon and hot water
- no limit on amount of fruit, veg and clean protein (had signs of a burgeoning ED before DS so I can’t calorie count/restrict- I like it too much)
- take my vitamins!
Just starting a thread so I have some accountability (but it isn’t My Fitness Pal, which has taken me to dark places in the past...)
