No matter what, you can expect to encounter challenges on this road to excellent health. It is inevitable and must be planned for in advance. I had a wonderful and juicy rib-eye steak last night and do not see it as 'failing'. The problem would be if I let that one experience lead me in the opposite direction of the main road. It has not. Plus, because of the overall quality of foods I am ingesting, improved bowel health allowed everything to pass quickly.
This morning, I did find Natalya Rose's book and will begin providing excerpts as we continue to detox and make significant changes to our dietary lifestyle.
In the video 'Healthy Food for the Islands', the narrator takes a looks at refined versus un-refined foods and looks at both benefits and disadvantages.
As mentioned during the preparation days leading up to 'start day', there will always be obstacles getting in the way of your success. Injuries, illness, emotional crisis, sadness, great joy, etc., etc. The list is endless. The key to overcoming obstacles is the certain awareness strict adherence is not the goal. If you are injured, you need food that will help you heal quickly. This may mean a greater quantity of proteins, fats, and restorative nutrients. In periods of sadness, a comfort food with inspiring mental associations may be just the ticket. We are in this for the long haul. The overall goal is to eat well most of the time. Do not give up on this goal because of a setback lacking success.
