Body Reset Diet - First 3 days

This past weekend, I was feeling very lethargic and gross and wanted to change my diet to put a spring in my step. My mom had recently tried a diet titled "The Body Reset Diet" and I decided to give it a shot. For those who are not very familiar with my eating habits, I am a sugar junkee and have very poor impulse control, so weaning foods is a long process for me. Needless to say, I would like to cut back and feel healthy so I am taking baby steps, with the first being the Body Reset Diet. The premise is simple, you start in phase 1 which includes three smoothies a day, a white one for breakfast, a red one for lunch and a green one for dinner along with two crunchy, high protein, high fiber snacks during the day. Here are my first 3 days trying it.

Day 1 - Let's get serious, this was not a great diet day. On the first day I had a hard time saying "no" and felt starving all day long, I don't think I drank enough water and even after having a snack after dinner, I went to bed hungry. Felt a little defeated. 

• White smoothie (breakfast) - Love.
• Kashi crackers and 1 laughing cow triangle
• 1 small triangle of a cheese quesadilla
• Red Ruby smoothie (lunch) - not to fond of the rasberry/blueberry combo.
• 3/4 of a donut in a moment of weakness
• 1/2 cup of edamame 
• Sweet spinach smoothie - Love.
• 3 Turkey slices and 1 slice of fat free cheese

Day 2 - Not much better than day 1. This was fourth of July and I had the day off so I decided to wait as long as possible for my morning smoothie. I finally had my breakfast around 9:30 and didn't have my lunch smoothie until 1:30 which seemed to help me get through the morning, however; the rest of the afternoon i felt hungry and tried to graze on healthy snacks, minus the angel cake for dessert. I did not go to bed hungry tonight.

• Tropical smoothie (breakfast) - Yum!
• Stonefruit smoothie (lunch) - All the acid fruit in this smoothie was too much for me. 
• 1 whole tomato
• Baby carrots with almond butter
• Kashi crackers with 1 laughing cow triangle
• Spinach smoothie (dinner)
• Angel food cake w/ strawberries

Day 3 - Slowly getting better, kinda. Today I was back to work at 6:30 a.m. and I tried to hold off on drinking my breakfast as long as possible. I finally had breakfast around 8 a.m. but by 8:30 I felt very sick, disoriented, and had a case of the spins. I suffer from bouts of long and extreme vertigo once in a while and was in bad shape; thinking it may have been brought on by the lack of calories, I had a regular plain frozen waffle to ease my stomach. I went home at 12:45 and Chris fixed me lunch while I took my vertigo medicine, I was asleep by 1:30. The rest of the afternoon was pretty uneventful, I was able to hold off on my dinner smoothie until 8:30 tonight, and it helps adding ice to the smoothie for greater volume to keep me full. 

• Tropical smoothie (breakfast)
• 1 plain frozen waffle
• Chicken salad sandwich (lunch) 
• Carrots and almond butter
• Kashi crackers and laughing cow triangle
• 1 slice of watermelon
• Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie - This smoothie had arugula instead of spinach, and its nasty! I threw it out.
• PB&J smoothie (dinner)

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow holds!
