@PartTimeDomesticGoddess yeah just a self created one to get myself back on track after too much snacking and boozing!

Days 1&2 veg, fruit, beans, legumes
Days 3&4 veg, fruit
Day 5 veg broth
Days 6&7 veg, fruit
Days 8&9 veg, fruit, beans, legumes

Last time I didn’t have caffeine and it was horrible so I’m restricting to one cup a day, and unlimited herbal teas. Going to attempt alcohol free until thanksgiving too because my body needs a break

@KobaniDaughters I think a reset can be really helpful (I'm not very good at booze free though, especially over the weekend!) Good luck 😊

B: kiwi, mango/blueberries. Trek peanut protein bar
L: cherry tomatoes, Bol sweet chilli noodle pot
D: no bull pasty with corn on the cob, green beans, carrots, Swiss chard, broccoli and gravy

I did 4 month booze free at the beginning of the year and I know I felt better for it. I just put on weight so much easier as well when I drink and I want to re-kick the usual 10lbs!

Yesterday:
B: shared a peach and nectarine with D.C.
L: salad
S: sugar snap peas and mango
D: baked acorn squash, corn on the cob, half an avocado, more mango

How's your detox going @KobaniDaughters?

S: collective plant yogurt, salt and pepper cashews, marzipan and cherry ice cream

Going well thanks @PartTimeDomesticGoddess I added in beans and legumes again today because we went rock climbing and I needed the protein. Not drinking has been fine, as has no sugar or wheat but oil is difficult because veg def tastes best roasted!

Think I’m going to continue for a while with no booze, sugar, wheat as my tummy has flattened so no bloating and in general feels much better even though I’ve eaten so much fruit! Will bring back oil for cooking but will be a bit more mindful of how much I use. Ultimately it’s been a good reset though and I’ve drunk a lot more water too but have been quite hungry so proper meals have been a bit out of the window.

B: banana and almond butter
L: hummus, cucumber, sugar snap peas
S: kiwi, raspberries, blueberries
D: potos granados stew

I'm a fan of a reset @KobaniDaughters. When I'm doing IF I feel that's one of the benefits it brings. And I completely agree with you about roasting being the best way to eat veg (see yesterday's dinner!) but I have found that if I spray olive oil rather than drizzle it I use a lot less but it still tastes nice

B: exact repeat of Saturday
L: collective raspberry yogurt eaten with seeds, salt and pepper cashews, buttered malt loaf, Kit Kat
D: garlic bread, roasted carrots, roasted aubergine, and roasted cabbage - topped with ottolenghi chilli/garlic/coriander/lime oil, toasted pine nuts and cashews
S: mango cornetto

I have an air fryer too but still have to get the hang of it!

Yeah I love doing IF and am going to get back into it too

I have an air fryer and an instant pot I haven't got the hang of (or the space for in all honesty 😳)

B: Monday smoothie
L: tomato/Swiss chard/Sweetcorn/tamarind hotpot
