Ok, so I've been quite strict on the BTD for years. How would I know what I'd feel like going off even slightly. Sometimes I do eat other non beneficial healthy foods and I don't feel quite as 'clean', always a slight reaction. In addition, I take a swig of Omega 3 fatty acids everyday and grind flax for fiber.

It never seems to be enough though because I keep wanting more. Sound familiar? When I get to the next level, I notice things that I didn't feel before. And then there's stress, oy if I must say.

What we think affects are body. Anyone see What the Bleep?

So now I'm going to try the next step....going on a detox/cleanse that I mentioned in an earlier post. It's a pretty mild program which includes taking baths with epsom salts and a variety of essential oils and a Complexion Stream where you boil water, add fresh herbs to the potion and then breathe in.

So far I have cut out all the pro inflammatory foods. Peanuts, strawberries, spelt and rye, dairy...all gone for now. Just want to see what happens. There is no time in the 28 days that I will go hungry. The 3 middle days, I am allowed fruits and veggies with 3 protein drinks.

That's it for now...have to go back and watch the news....I know, so stress inducing now. My one cheat!
