One week down, two more to endure....I mean, go.

After one week of following the strict protocol of my diet I have managed to loose 12 lbs and an average of 2 inches off of each measurement.

I can't believe I am posting this but here it goes:

After 8 days I have seemed to have detoxed from sugar and my cravings have stopped. 

When I see foods I am not suppose to have they still sound delicious but I don't feel crappy without them.

I am still drinking  plain coffee though.

I figured cutting out caffeine along with everything else was just too much.

I haven't had any carbs or gluten either.

Minus the carbs that come naturally in apples.

I am feeling good. 

Not hungry, just missing food.

I like food & eatting and going out to eat.

Food brings people together. 

I am Italian and enjoying a meal is natural.

Still have about 2 weeks left to go for a total of 21 days in this phase of the diet. 

What life changing things have you learned from dieting?

Right now I just have to remind myself that food is fuel and nothing more.

I have also learned 

More on that later.

Just remember " If you don't know what it is, your body doesn't either"
