Other than getting hungry fast I felt fine but I know the change is coming 😆
Here is my attempt to let you know how I prepared my meals.
🍋 Lemon tea: half a lemon, lemon tea bag, 6oz warm water(+ 2oz for smoothie)
🍏 Green smoothie: handful of kale, 1 green apple, and one mini cucumber, 2oz lemon tea(made 12oz smoothie)
🥗 Salmon salad: 2 bags of green goddess salad (without the dressing)(9oz), seasoned salmon(sprinkle tumeric, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, pinch of salt)(7oz cooked)Dressing(didn't measure)red wine vinegar,olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice.
🍗 Chicken and asparagus: 5oz of cooked asparagus sautéed in homemade bone broth, lemon juice and rosemary. garlic and herb baked chicken breast (6.5oz cooked)
make sure to also drink water in between meals. It helps to take away the empty feeling.
It all still tastes good without all the extra seasoning that I usually add to my meals.

I found that incorporating lemon tea into my morning not only jumpstarted my metabolism but also helped cleanse my digestive system gently. The green smoothie, packed with kale, green apple, and cucumber, provided a satisfying way to intake fiber and antioxidants early on.
One important tip I learned is to drink plenty of water between meals. This kept me hydrated and helped ease any hunger pangs without the need for extra snacks. The homemade seasoning on the salmon—with turmeric, garlic, onion powder, and smoked paprika—added flavorful anti-inflammatory benefits that made the meal enjoyable, even with fewer heavy seasonings.
For dinner, cooking asparagus in bone broth infused with rosemary and lemon juice was a wonderful twist that kept the vegetables tender and full of flavor while the baked chicken breast offered lean protein to satisfy my appetite. Overall, keeping the meals simple but nutrient-dense allowed me to stay committed to my detox without feeling deprived.
