Hey everyone!
Here’s an update after a week into my 2nd month. I haven’t had any growth since I restarted
1. My ground flaxseed went rancid. I didn’t notice that it went bad until two days ago, and I was still using it. I don’t know for how long I had been having the bad flaxseed. But this has happened before, and I knew something was off. When I had tried the program before the flaxseed was bad, but I didn’t know—and as a result I felt no growth. I also always felt sick and nauseous after taking it, I thought I started to dislike it, but once I changed the flaxseed I wasn’t nauseous or sick of it anymore.
How to tell if the flaxseed is bad:
- It will have a strong odour (it usually doesn’t smell strong)
- it will smell acidic
- the flaxseed once put into a cup of water will sink immediately
If flaxseed is good:
- it won’t smell strong
- majority of it will float in water
2. My diet, I haven’t been eating as clean as I want to lately. However, last month the growth was very strong and consistent. Even on days when I didn’t stick to my diet all the time. So I think it may be hormones, maybe my body is trying to balance out and cycle since I had such strong and consistent growth? And since I recently got off my period, maybe my body is taking its time to return to those hormone levels that are good for growth? I can’t be sure.
I will still maintain the program and see when the growth returns. I’ll keep updating here!
