Day 15

Phase II is finally here! Among the new things that I can have now are several fruits (oranges, apples, and so on), a few different kinds of beans, and more!

Today’s meals:

Breakfast: mixed fruits (pineapples, red and green grapes, and strawberries).

Lunch: tuna, carrots, and some avacado slices that I briefly tried but didn’t like.

Snack: green grapes(!)

Supper: chili (ground beef, Ro-Tel, kidney beans, garlic, tomato sauce, and chili powder), to which I added more chili powder, paprika, red pepper, and hot sauce (I like my chili hot!).

Drinks: I’m finally allowed some sweeteners (more honey, as well as Stevia). So I had tea sweetened with Stevia, water, and a smoothie made from kefir, strawberries, honey, and red grapes. The kefir was surprisingly tasty when blended with fruit (not too appealing plain).
