7 day cleanse

Feb 08, 2009 15:49

So, I am finishing day seven of an overall detox clease/fast thing.

And, I gotta say, I feel pretty freakin' great.

Day one started with a big glass of fresh lemon juice and maple syrup.

Then we got only juice during the day. I made 2 different varieties to keep it interesting, both carrot based.

Congrats on the anniversary and also on finishing the cleansing diet. I've read research that says they have no effect, but I did a seven-day one that had me taking a ton of supplements along with a clean-eating diet, and I had so much energy, it was insane. I also ran my fastest ever 5K on day six (25:12 baby!), so while I understand the skepticism, I also think that maybe there is something to the occasional detoxing/cleansing, even if it is only psychological.

I am dubious about the effects of the cleanse. Although, I figure it can't do anything but help if I give my body a break from trying to process meats, dairy, empty carbs (I don't really eat those anyways) caffeine and alcohol for a few days.

It's also good I think to distance yourself from the emotionality of eating. So often we aren't actually hungry, it's just "time to eat".

Thanks on the anniversary shout out. It's funny...I was so mentally prepared to be the eccentric cat lady when I was younger. Although, I am not a fan of owning small fuzzy animals these days. And I am realizing how ridiculously fatalistic I used to be in certain regards.
