Detox Diet & Discovery: Week 3
Week 3
I received some sad news Monday, but I was able to bounce back quickly. I’m feeling great heading into the finish line.
I’ve already seen some great results physically. After 3 weeks, I can tell I’ve lost some weight. I’ve been focused on eating well and it’s paying off. Since I haven’t been physically active due to my injury, I can see the effects of diet alone on my body. Pretty amazing.
Sticking with a simple system and repeating some things I liked from the last 2 weeks.
- Same breakfast
- Simple dinners
- lunch is leftovers
- Snacks are fruits and nut butters
I’m reusing some recipes I enjoyed and finding other similar dishes.
My Digital Media Manager, Matt, also showed me a resource that LifeSource provides their customers. I found it extremely useful for searching for some more recipes. I’m going to try and dive into that more next week.
You’ll notice an update to the shopping list below. I’ve copied and pasted the recipe line item for 2 reasons:
- How much of the item to buy (sorted)?
- How to prep and store them before use?
Breakfast: Eggs, Sausage, Bacon
Snacks: Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Mandarins, Almond Butter

Chicken at literally every meal? God, I’m already tired of it and I haven’t even started yet. I don’t think that kind of diet is sustainable long term because people crave variety. Maybe encourage people to not eat meat at literally every single meal. Nothing wrong with a few vegetarian dinners a week. Plus, it’s a lot healthier.
Hey Sharon, this is Felipe. Thank you so much for your comment. This plan was for 30 days and I’d recommend checking out week 1 if you wanted to learn more (https://lifesourcenaturalfoods.com/detox-diet-discovery-week-1/). My next plan is to try a plant based diet for 30-45 days and provide meal plans and additional resources. If you have any plant-based recipes, I’d love to try them out and feature them on the site. Feel free to email me directly at felipeg@lifesourcenaturalfoods.com if you do decide to take on this 30 day whole foods challenge and need any help or recipe suggestions. Thanks again for the comment Sharon and thank you for supporting LifeSource Natural Foods!
