Week 3 of the 2013 Whole Living Challenge is right around the corner, and I’m so excited to finally be able to add cheese-smothered nachos, bowls of pasta, and vats of red wine back into my diet!
(And then I woke up.)
What I do get to add back for Week 3 is organic non-GMO soy (tofu, edamame) and eggs. I’m so excited to have eggs again! (Not as excited as I am about having wine again, mind you, but hey – I’ll take it.)
The following are off-limits throughout the entire Challenge: anything processed, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, added sugars, and gluten. And here’s a list of all the allowed Challenge foods beginning in Week 3:
Eggs
Organic, non-GMO soy (tofu, edamame)
Fish (not shellfish)
All legumes and beans
Gluten-free grains
Fruits
Vegetables
Nuts and seeds
Oils and seasonings
