The scale rewarded me again so I decided to keep going, except that I need a real lunch. I made the same banana pear breakfast smoothie as the day before, but the pear was not ripe so it wasn't a very smooth smoothie. Then I got dizzy. I have chronic problems with dizziness and when it hits I never know how long it will last. It could be days or weeks so I do whatever I can to get it to go away quickly. If that meant eating real food, so be it. This same thing happened on day three when I tried to go gluten free. I tried to rationally think about what it could be. I had been eating plenty of fruit so sugar and carbs could not be the problem. I had been drinking plenty of water so that should not be a problem. That leave sodium. I normally eat a higher sodium diet since I'm used to processed foods and I probably had been getting very little sodium over the last couple days.
I ate my "real" lunch of a salad with balsamic dressing (prepackaged), whole grain crackers and turkey meat. I felt better later in the day. I at a "real" dinner too. I made a shrimp stir fry with brown rice. It was delicious.
So...I guess I am done. I made it only two and a third days. I am getting better at making the smoothies so I am going to continue to have them for breakfast and then try to continue to eat well balanced other meals and snacks.
