For breakfast I had the same as day 2, but I added half an
avocado. For lunch, I had the same salad, except without the dried cranberries
and feta cheese. For snacks I had Almond butter (instead of peanut
butter) with celery sticks and carrots with hummus. For dinner, I
experimented with cauliflower and mashed them with a little butter and heavy
cream. I didn't use very much of either and it was plenty of flavor, so I plan
to use less of each next time. I wasn't able to get it as smooth as
mashed potatoes, but I have to admit that I prefer mashed cauliflower over
potatoes. I did add in a treat for dessert, which was a cup of
strawberries with less than a table spoon of heavy cream.
According to the Paleo book I am reading, coconut milk is the best
substitute for dairy; it recommends getting it in a can. However, I am having a difficult time finding
that in the store. I will have to check out Trader Joe's or the COOP this
weekend, so that I am prepared next week. Another substitute for dairy is
Almond milk, but since it has a large amount of omega-6 fat in it, it is not as
good for you as coconut.
Since I have stopped eating processed sugar (I guess aside from
the dried cranberries), crackers, rice, cheddar cheese, bread and such I have
noticed a difference in how I feel. I don't feel bloated and I have been more
focused at work, with fewer bursts of energy and sugar crashes. I can
only imagine it gets better from here.
