Day 10 dinner

Mr Marvel read my blog and whilst I was working with my interns he purchased organic lamb and 5 AUD of beetroot. When I arrived home he had prepared a deep red tray of roast beetroot. It was delicious.

Day 8 cont'd

Day 8 was a delicious salmon salad for lunch
grapes for and bush pepper cheese for dessert
and off the rails for dinner when I ate Thai
food. I had chicken satay sticks, some tom yum soup
and green curry.
I hate to think the amount of sugar in these foods.
But I have another strategy around that. Thai
cooking can be very fresh I will ask for a cashew and vegetable
dish next time and request no sugar.
(this is the reason I avoided posting yesterday)
I felt fine in the morning but it does unravel
good work I'm doing with the diet. Best to stay
strict.

Day 8

I have got through week 1 of the SCD diet and I'm delighted by this.
I will make fresh carrot and apple juice in my juicer as a celebration.
Last night I purchased a yoghurt machine but was disappointed when I realised it needed a thermometer and I read Elaine's book and thought it was all a bit too tricky. So I will check out some YouTube videos from the SCD site before wasting any ingrediants.

Day 7

Breakfast was fruit juice
A big sashimi lunch and with grapes for dessert
Dinner was grilled tuna with lemon juice and a greek salad but I didn't eat the fetta.
I prepared the SCD carrot cake from Elaine's book.
My friends couldn't believe it was yeast, wheat, dairy, flour free.
I purchased this crazy cupcake machine and the cupcakes were perfectly cooked after 10 min.
