Bone Broth Update III – Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I completed the last week of the Bone Broth Diet and this is my final update.  When I say I “completed” week three of the Diet, I mean that 3 weeks have passed since I started the diet and so therefore I completed the diet.  I cheated a lot, though.   Even with the cheating, I still lost a total of 9 lbs!  I’m happy about that, but I regret that I couldn’t commit to the last two weeks as much as I did to the first week.

Overall, I found the diet to be too restrictive for me.  Not having anything sweet to eat at all besides fruit is not a way to live, in my opinion.  However, I can commit to finding healthy sweet treats and committing to the 80/20 maintenance rule that Dr. Kelly Ann prescribes for maintenance.  The 80/20 rule is eating healthy/clean foods 80 percent of the time and then splurging 20% of the time.

One thing I will definitely NOT be adding back into my life is gluten.  The first week, when I didn’t cheat at all, I felt great.  All of my aches and pains were gone.  I snuck a few Wheat Thins in those 2nd two weeks and the aches are back. With a vengeance.

I do also want to start to add in a little exercise, too.  I’m hoping that exercise mixed with the 80/20 rule will mean that I will continue to drop some weight.

To appease my sweet tooth, I made these delicious Banana Chocolate Chip muffins.  I found the recipe at Well Plated and I highly recommend spending an hour or two over there!  The recipes are delicious, healthy and easy!  It’s the trifecta!Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
