Phase Two

Phase two of the diet so far seems a bit more complicated than phase one. There’s a big difference in foods you can’t eat. All I can say is goooood luck.

Oh, and here’s a reminder to buy organic whenever possible. And no sugar added! It sneaks into things. I bought some deli meat (turkey) that screamed “nitrate-free,” but I found that sneaky sugar on the ingredient list.

Also, exercise. All that protein means you need to do at least one day of resistance training aka weights. If you don’t belong to a gym, there are tons of YouTube channels that offer resistance training with just your body and regular household items.
