Ok, day four. Woke up really hungry today, just like all the others. My friend Sara recommended that I make the shake with some fruit and blend it. This morning's was a raspberry and blackberry blend. Better, but still grainy and not delicious.
The Clean Program has a support website, which I signed up for earlier. It seems to have many resources, including recipes and tips.
From the Clean Program Web Site:
Elimination Diet Shopping List
Note: Dried fruits are okay in moderation, but please use very sparingly as they are still high in concentrated sugars and even though they’re natural sugars and better than a candy bar, they still spike blood sugar levels, keep us relying on sweeteners to boost us up, and also be constipating for many people. You can reconstitute them by soaking in warm water until they plump back up which will cut down their constipating effects. Avoid dried bananas and raisins entirely, since grapes (and bananas) are not allowed on the program.
