Detox, Day 3 (so far)

...and a little of day 2

Day 2 ended with a yummy stir fry concoction in which we decided to add some olive oil in trace amounts to a pan of assorted veggies (mostly kale, spinach, carrots, tomatoes) and we also decided to add some brown rice because we were feeling very overloaded on citric acid and needed some grain to absorb it all. I tell you, the rice made my day.

I'm no on my third day of this silly little thing, and I can not tell you the difference it has made. I don't feel symptoms one way or the other, and I'd reather eat bread. And cheese. And yogurt.

Miso soup today was a nice change. salty seaweed concoction with TOFU! and salt! I feel better than yesterday, that's for sure!

Other things I've eaten today include two oranges, a spinach-parsley-kiwi-rice milk smoothie, lots of filtered water, and lots of baby carrots.

I need to drink more tea.

And I will be glad when this silly little detox is done. That's all. Four more days.

Oh, my bad. Die toxins die! Clean system! Eat it, toxins. go to hell.

Detox, Day 2 (so far)

Breakfast: smoothie made with frozen blueberries, frozen cranberries, fresh pears, and two tablespoons flaxseed

Throughout morning: 20 oz. filtered water with lemon

Lunch: Mixed greens with avocado, tomato, and garlic dressing; two tangerines; 10 more ounces filtered water with lemon; handful baby carrots

Today I added Organic Raw Kombucha juice from the co-op (meant for detoxifying and adding probiotics)

Snack: 1 pear

Haven't eaten dinner yet, and will probably have a cup of tea made with filtered water for that.

No real symptoms other than having to pee every half-hour. (sorry if TMI.) I thought I would have a headache much worse from detoxing from caffiene, but I really don't. It was bad on Sunday when I orginally started caffiene detox, but I can't notice it anymore.

Major cravings so far: BREAD and CHOCOLATE

Detox, Day 1

So the roommates and I, in an attempt to clean out our internals from all of that holiday eating and merriment, have decided to embark on a detox of sorts for a week to see how it goes. Fruits and Veggies, and needed supplements for functioning. I'm also detoxing from caffeine and alcohol for a week, so we shall see how that goes.

Day One, so far:

Glass of filtered water

Breakfast: Delightful smoothie made from just about every piece of fruit in our fridge. (blueberries, cranberries (frozen), kiwi, and flaxseed)

Snack: Banana, Tangerine (about an hour apart)

Lunch: Grapefruit

Snack: Cup of camomille tea

Dinner: Steamed vegetables (kale, brocolli, carrots, cabbage, spinach) and a little bit of overly spicy cabbage and beet soup prepared with way too much cayenne pepper and garlic earlier this week. Five glasses of filtered water and a cup of peach detox yogi brand tea.

So far, no serious symptoms or withdrawls. We'll see how this goes folks. We really do need a better way to prepare veggies, but we can't use oil or salt, so they were rather bland.

I'm looking forward to another smoothie tomorrow, maybe a pear/parsley/kiwi combo that comes recommended. And I think I need to bring more fruit for lunch, or maybe cut it all and make a yummy fruit salad.

Later tonight I'll do my liver detox drops with filtered water and maybe another cup of tea. I really think too that I need to eat more in the morning, because I was hungry ALL day. Later in the week we can add miso soup and plain yogurt, so maybe that will help too. And I keep thinking about the quantity of the things I'm eating, but I can and should eat more of the fruit at lunch, becuase there isn't a limit on the allowed foods.

I'm going to try to post what I eat tomorrow as well as how I feel.

Stay tuned.
