MY MENU
Yesterday, I ate this:
117g fat (74%)
73g protein
20g carbs
For breakfast yesterday at 5 am, I decided to have some coconut milk with cocoa, cinnamon and Stevia. I had not taken more than two sips and I started feeling really sick to my stomach. I spent the next couple of hours belching a lot (this is unusual for me) and then had diarrhea.
I have had coconut milk in the past and did not remember ever having this happen before. Then, I thought about it... When I first started The Virgin Diet, I saw that the shakes were giving me really bad diarrhea. I blamed the protein mix and stopped having the shakes. Now I am wondering if it was the 1/2 cup of coconut milk that I was having as part of the shake. I might have a little bit of shake some time today and see if it upsets my stomach. It's not that I want to go back to shakes, but I would like to see if I should be avoiding coconut milk.
EGG CHALLENGE
For lunch yesterday, I ate three eggs again. I did have a little insomnia last night, but I think it was due to the "warm flushes" I have been having lately. I will have eggs again today, and then not have them for the next three days after that, and track any symptoms that I might have.
MY EXERCISE
None.
