Thank you so much for the support

This apple eating is rough stuff. I sat down and thought about it and for a while now I have been eating between 2500-10,000 calories a day. Yes, TEN THOUSAND CALORIES IN ONE DAY.

Today I have eaten 9 apples so far, and it's only 2:30. I feel better mentally than I have in a long time, but despite drinking water all day long, I have a headache creeping in. And I'm hungry. I keep telling myself it's only three days, but I am not liking this hungry feeling at all.

Did you drink coffee or soda before? It could be lack of caffeine that is causing the headache.

That is a good point. I usually drink a ton of coffee and soda.

It made me SO happy to open this thread mama! I'm thrilled that you have decided to take better care of yourself. My DH has that book and it has helped his psoriasis enormously. Like major, major improvement. If he falls of the wagon it's only a matter of days before he has flare ups again.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey to get and stay healthy!

Thank you so much

Today is the beginning of Day 2. It's difficult, but I'll get through it.

I really appreciate the support.

End of day 2, Kearson!!! How are you feeling? Only one more day to go!

I started this today, and I'm actually feeling pretty good. The warm lemon water was pretty icky (that is a LOT of lemon!), but the olive oil wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (Luckily, it's not as thick as castor oil ) I've only had 3 apples today, I just go eat one when I'm starting to feel hungry.

GL with your last day!

I'm glad you posted! I totally forgot the olive oil on day one!

Day 3... last day of apples.

Unfortunately, thanks to DS wanting to eat them too because I am eating them, I only have 2 left. It's New Year's Day and I have to find some place to get apples and a pint of plain yogurt, because I forgot that too.

Your doing great! Stay strong!!

I'm totally going to 'out' myself here as a caution to others.


I just had a sip of soda and I feel like I'm going to explode! Seriously, I think I might vomit.

If you plan on doing this diet, for the love of Pete, DO NOT DRINK SODA! Talk about pain
