In reply to: Leigh Lyon posted an update in the group Depression Anyone experience too loose bowels as a result of the food plan? I am on day 3. ViewIt may have been something I ate or nerves. It seems to have passed already. But I am very cranky and overwhelmed easily. Some sort of withdrawal. It’s also allergy season right now.

I did in the beginning couple weeks. I assumed that was a part of the detoxing. I’m on week 8 and it’s all good now!

How are you feeling?

We have a Sweet Rush nearby that has frozen yogurt that doesn’t spike my blood sugar…maybe someday I can have that. In the meantime I am settling for smoothies to curb the craving.

I am thinking..why would I want it back in my diet even later? The only time I might NEED caffeine is to prevent a migraine or when I have one.

In reply to: Meg posted an update in the group Depression I need to learn how to scrape myself off the floor and start living again! ViewYou cannot scrape yourself off the floor…without help. I will pray for you. I am hoping this program will free me of depression since it affects my life so much and for so long, even with medication. It would be much worse without medication, I am sure, but I still want it to be much less than it is. You are not alone, Meg. Remember that.
-
Thank you for your encouragement, Leigh! I am glad that there are other people who feel the same way. I have given up on medication, period. It does not seem to help me with my symptoms. I just want to reclaim my life!

Second day of the cleansing. Feeling like crap. Slight headache and some nausea. That usually means I am detoxing. Detoxing is good even when it feels like shit.

Read pages 161-62 in the book, which addresses how to eliminate caffeine in seven days. It is a gradual process. Don’t go cold turkey. Also, you can have 1-2 cups of green tea (contains small amount of caffeine) per day and unlimited herbal teas after starting the plan. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend you downlaod the “Nutrition Basics…[Read more]

I ate extra protein and drank about 4 extra glasses of water and that made my caffeine headache go away when I first got off coffee. I use to have around 10 cups a day, and now I don’t miss it. Can’t say the same about sugar. I don’t crave sugar now at Week 2 Day 4, but I miss it sometimes, like an old lover…

Depression 12 months agoI just joined the group. One of my goals in starting this program is to get off all medicine, including depression medicine. I will be starting the cleansing period on Tuesday, the 29th. No white flour, sugar or stimulants. I have been doing the white flour and sugar, but 2-3 cups of coffee a day are hard to give up!
-
Hi Leigh………. Welcome Aboard! I’ve been on the BSS for 7 months and felt the same way you do about giving up coffee. It was tough for the first few weeks, but after I was fine. I didn’t miss it. I substituted herbal teas. After 3 months of being on Advanced strictly, I personalized (as permitted in the book) my plan by adding back a cup of coffee…[Read more]
