G’s Driver’s License Weight Challenge – Chlorella and Day 36 Results

Chlorella

I heard about chlorella last month when the COVID-19 lockdown started – it’s supposed to boost immunity. I did some research and found other benefits including soothing respiratory conditions and improving cholesterol levels, both of which I listed as important goals of mine for this challenge.

One thing you’ll notice from my daily diary of meals is that I eat a lot of the same #food. I also don’t eat as much fruits and vegetables as I should (fruits aren’t even part of this plan). Supposedly, chlorella is a superfood because it is packed with all kinds of nutrients, so I added chlorella to my regimen yesterday and updated my earlier post with the plan. It’s in a pill form and I am taking it before Meal 1. I will now take my other vitamins with Meal 5.

As with everything else I am doing, I recommend checking with your doctor first if you plan on doing the same. I did not check with my doctor for this, so the more reason you should seek expert advice!
