Beef. Salt. Water. Day 14 Update

The first week on the diet went great for the most part! Beef isn't so bad! And woohoo let's do this and feel better! I'm sick of being sick and I really want to feel better and be healed.  Let's do this! Big shout out to my Mom for preparing my meals and all I gotta do is heat it up! I have been so exhausted and in lots of pain she's really been helping me stick to this crazy diet! Hats off to you Mom! She even stopped buying tempting snacks! 💕🥰

Week two: ok I have a beef with beef here....it's all I eat everyday...so intensely boring! I say intense because it's hard!! My goodness have I been tempted so many times to cheat!!! With God's help I have not cheated. Coming home from work today I was freezing and normally I'd have a hot cacao or Mom's hot chocolate or cappuccino to warm me up...but what do I get!??...hot water! Ugh it's so frustrating.  I really want chocolate and stuffed crust pizza right now....oh and then my social life is a mess!! This introvert is becoming more introverted because I can't be around food (cuz I'm ravenous for food I can't have) and parties and family gatherings have food!!! Before you judge me though, let me remind you I have made it to 2

 weeks!! I know what I'm doing is not easy and I do so desperately desire healing so I have to run from temptations and yell like a drill sergeant at myself or vent.  I'm realizing this must be a common side affect. Oh boy...I really do hope and pray I can eat more food once my body goes into remission! Yes Remission I'm still hopeful! 🙏 I'm told through reading others information that in 4 to 6 weeks I should feel a difference and if I haven't by 3 months it probably won't work.😭 Although one site says 6 months...?? Example of a meal. I put Himalayan pink salt on it too. Salt helps me drink a little more plus it can help curve cravings.

Food is definitely a comfort for us humans isn't it? It brings us together and here in America we have so much of it we don't know what being thankful for beef to eat really means for some people or other nations.  

Here are some of my findings this week.  I'm still in lots of pain and have a ton of inflammation...my right hand has two inflammation bubbles now.  I'm more agitated and wiped out... possibly more in pain and inflamed too...less quality sleep or wake up every hour or 2 because my body is in pain or achey.  I also get nauseous every so often...it's not bad but it's annoying I'm praying these are all signs of detoxing as I had looked up symptoms for that.  Things usually get worse before they get better. That's what I'm reminding myself anyway. 

 Good side affects of eating beef for 14 days.  It fills you up and you stay full longer. You always know what's for dinner. And I have lost at least 5lbs probably more. 

My favorite dishes include ground beef, steak and hamburger patties (they are like the new cereal bar! Easy to grab and eat on the go!) or even a good roast!! so if you want to have me over to eat and provide a dish that I can eat those are my favorites. Just make sure the meat doesn't have any additional additives. I can also eat bison/deer/ and lamb...Just started on some ground deer meat.  

Random fact. You do have to eat quite a bit of meat so we have been going through meat fast cuz that's all I can eat! 

Seems I have covered a small milestone. Keep the prayers coming! My body is definitely suffering greatly and my days are really tough to get through but I know my God is able to see me through!
