Hey, First Day in The hardest!
Don’t worry, be happy. The first day is the hardest. Your brain will be screaming, “Where’s the sugar!” Just ignore the brain. Sugar is an addiction and with all addictions, this shall pass.
Gluten is another really nasty chemical and tough one to give up plus it is in everything. Have no fear…there are breads with no gluten. They are usually located in the freezer section in the grocery store.
Here is a recipe for gluten free bread that is easy to make:

As far as alcohol….ugh! What good ole alcohol does to your body. Terrible things.
Alcohol is a poison
Your body can only process one unit of alcohol an hour. Drink a lot in a short space of time and the amount of alcohol in the blood can stop the body from working properly.
It can:
- slow down your brain functions so you lose your sense of balance.
- irritate the stomach which causes vomiting and it stops your gag reflex from working properly – you can choke on, or inhale, your own vomit into your lungs.
- affect the nerves that control your breathing and heartbeat, it can stop both.
- dehydrate you, which can cause permanent brain damage.
- lower the body’s temperature, which can lead to hypothermia.
- lower your blood sugar levels, so you could suffer seizures.
Look out for the signs
It can be a very fine line. One minute your house guest is stupidly drunk, the next they’ve become dangerously intoxicated.
Being aware of the signs of alcohol poisoning is crucial, because if a person you care about is suffering from acute alcohol poisoning, they will be in no state to help themselves.
Look out for:
- Confusion
- Loss of coordination
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Irregular or slow breathing (less than eight breaths a minute)
- Blue-tinged or pale skin
- Low body temperature (hypothermia)
- Stupor – when someone’s conscious but unresponsive
- Unconsciousness – passing out
Good luck on your first day. Feel free to write to me if you have questions. admin@slimhealthysexy.com
