Regeneration Diet

So after feeling a little bla for a while I have decided to put myself on the Regeneration Diet. This is a diet that we got from our naturopath a while back for Amelia. It is a great diet to help cleanse and detox from the harsh things we sometimes forget that we out into our body. I am hoping that after 2 weeks I can gently add back in some small things (like chocolate) but we will see how I feel in two weeks! So people have asked what the diet looks like and I have added some more information below:

We have done this before BUT not as strictly, Amelia was on this diet but we did have to allow a couple of things as she is such a fussy eater but overall she did pretty well. This will be the first time I will be following it and I am looking forward to thinking of different ideas I can come up with. Today was a little boring as I only ate fresh fruit for breakfast and apple for mid morning, a miso soup for lunch and 1/2 cup of nuts for afternoon tea. Hoping I don't get the sugar crave soon!!!!!!! It is all about will power and I know that I need to change my focus and see that food is fuel and start eating to that motto, easier said than done when one loves to bake!!!!!!!
