by Colleen Russell
Since the day we posted the blog about the Two Week Diet, we have been excitedly reading everyone’s stories of health boosting and weight loss success, and listening to you rally around each other in support. The Nourishing World community becomes a more welcome sanctuary with each passing day! There have been a lot of questions surrounding what to eat and the specifics of the day-to-day diet for the 2 Week Detox Diet. If you haven’t already read through the diet overview, allowed foods, and eliminated foods, it can be found here.
If you are considering embarking on 2 weeks of rapid weight loss with this plan, you will see that there are A LOT of vegetables! It’s helpful to ‘think outside the box’ and make substitutions for your eliminated foods. It’s also helpful to have a few gadgets in the kitchen! Consider picking up a mandolin slicer, spiral slicer, or a food processor to mix things up a bit! We’ve eliminated starches, but there are several low-glycemic-index vegetables on the list that can be twisted into noodles. (Many apologies to those who have been waiting for the release of this next post. A deep bow of gratitude to you for your patience. ) So, without further ado, the RECIPES!
