Day 10 - Candida Diet

Today was a bit rough. I ended up spending some time at a friends house so our kids could play. I didn't prepare my lunch and take it with me. She was so sweet trying to find something for me to eat. We couldn't find anything. Since I didn't have lunch, I just added it to dinner.

Breakfast: Eggs with Turkey Bacon
Lunch: Broccoli Salad with Turkey Bacon (I guess it's turkey bacon day)
Dinner: Steak with Chive Ghee Butter

Reactions

Food: The food was all very good. I did find it a little strange that lunch was just broccoli and dinner was just steak. Combining them was really yummy. I wish there were more vegetables added to some meals this week. It just seams like a lot of meat.

Body: My skin is having a rough time. I am getting the weirdest breakouts. They are below my lips on the sides of my chin. I check it on a face map and those areas are for the intestines. It makes sense that I could breakout there with the detox happening right now. My scalp is still itchy and my hair is really oily. I usually wash my hair twice a week but I think I need to do it more often right now. It just looks so gross.
