Well I'm feeling your relief at it all being back to normal now!<br /><br />Haha, yes, my husband didn't do it with me, although he said it would be 'easy' for him to give up sugar as he wasn't into chocolate, just salty things like chips. Well what do you think he started looking for a couple of weeks into my detox??! Since I wasn't popping around in the evening with chocolate for him like I used to, he suddenly started craving it LOL. He says he wants to do the detox again with me some time though, but we'll see.... ;)<br /><br />Yep! Just think about how much junk food you would have eaten in these last 3.5 weeks! None of it went in your body.. woot!!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285494988901249016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909191527330964641.post-71989387105325238032013-09-04T15:52:48.981+09:302013-09-04T15:52:48.981+09:30My milk supply was dropping before I started detox...My milk supply was dropping before I started detoxing and the only thing I could put it down to is just the busyness of two babes and some stress from home ownership and a death in the family. I spent a week or two trying to build supply by pumping and extra feeds but that was also getting very tiring. The community nurse put me onto fenugreek and I noticed a change after 1 - 2 days! Hope it works just as well for you Erin. And although I drink 2 - 4 ltrs of water each day And eat a ton of food I thought I'd take sustagen which is also recommended for building supply. So we are back to normal now, thank goodness for that! <br /><br />I'm feeling so great for having eliminated the 'junk' foods in my diet. Hannah it's so easy to eat more of the unhealthy snacks when you're at home I find so I know exactly what you mean. Oh and unfortunately hubby caved! So I'm on my own. At least Matt doesn't have a sugar addiction so he won't be hindering me at least.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703466289954309674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909191527330964641.post-45800884830465073152013-09-04T15:02:33.533+09:302013-09-04T15:02:33.533+09:30Sounds to me like you're doing really well, an...Sounds to me like you're doing really well, and goof on you for not letting other peoples negativity get you down! Keep it up Jess!<br />PS. I've just started taking Fenugreek suppliments myself in hope of getting off my current medication, I've heard from many that it is amazing :-)Erin Rolandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909191527330964641.post-60252136204313917492013-09-04T10:53:14.356+09:302013-09-04T10:53:14.356+09:30Good girl!

I didn't have a problem with my supply during the detox ( I think I ate wayyyy too many nuts and natural yogurt for that to ever happen!) but thanks for sharing the fenugreek tip! I have a constant fear of losing my milk (always in the back of my head) so it's nice to know there is something I could take if that ever did happen.<br /><br />Mmm yes I did yogurt with cinnamon a lot! And yogurt with cocoa powder... oooo!!!<br /><br />I'm sorry you've been faced with negativity. People really don't understand, and it just makes them feel bad I guess. I just used to tell people that it was 'just an 8 week DETOX' and not a forever thing, and not a diet, particularly when fruit came into question. Just to get me out of the habit of 'closet chocolate binging' while I'm home all week! ;)<br /><br />You're doing an amazing job...don't stop now! How's hubby doing?Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285494988901249016noreply@blogger.com
