BooTea - 7 Day update.

Hey guys,

Heres a quick update. I have now completed 7/28 days of BooTea, yay!

My week began well, I  actually enjoy drinking the morning tea, as it gives me a good burst of energy and surpasses my appetite during the day. This means less snacking.

I've been using the My Fitness Pal app to keep track of my eating, drinking and exercise. Its a great all in one app.

In terms of food, as mentioned in my previous post BooTea do have a meal plan on their website, which looks really good, however it cuts out meat completely. Me being the great carnivore that I am, just cannot handle this. So instead of cutting out meat completely, I have limited myself to turkey, and skinless chicken. I've also upped my fish intake.

Breakfast generally consists of 2 boiled eggs, yolk out (yuck), and 2 slices of Wholewheat & Oat bread. Occasionally, Ill have yoghurt and fruit or porridge.

Lunch is varied, usually consists of meat and a wholemeal pitta or a variation or potato.

Dinner is fish or meat with either salad or vegetables. Alternatively, Ill have a mall handful of Gnocchi with vegetables and 1 teaspoon of pesto.

I'm not a very active person, however the last week or two I've been going to the gym, playing Zumba on my Wii or going for a walk.

In terms of the effect BooTea has had on me, I'm not sure I've seen much difference. I must say, the days that I do drink the night tea, bloating is dramatically reduced. I did have to take 1 night/2 mornings off boo tea as one of the glands on my neck become very painful. Once it had clammed down, I jumped back on the tea. I can't say if they are linked, but I've had no problems since.

Looking ahead, I will need to drink more water, as Im currently only drinking about 1L, when I should be drink 3!! I'm so proud of the amount of exercise that I've been doing, I usually hate it, but I am beginning to enjoy it.

I'l be back in another week to update :)
