I did not start the detox for another five days, I researched what was needed to help me be successful on a detox of only juices.
I prepared my juice recipes, some sweet, some savory and have been successful for the past three weeks :o)!!!!!
I am also using a fiber cleanse and for someone who has not eaten solid food in three weeks.....there is a lot of solid(s) on it's way out.
This should let us know that as North Americans we sure have a lot of old waste matter in our bodies.
So far so good, my energy levels have increased, I just moved house and I thought I was going to break but I just made sure my juices were avaiable and I sailed through.
I did notice though that since I am not eating solids, my sense of smell has heightened, I smell the foods that my husband cooks, the food looks so colourful and bright with the veggies....tempting but no dice, I know what cooked foods do to the body. Besides I feel great and am glad the excess unusable waste is on it's way out.
I notice that my nervous system is much calmer and my sleep is deeper.
I have started an organic greens buying group to help my clients and friends afford organic produce....it's cheaper when you buy in a group.
As a holistic nutritionist, my aim is to educate people about nutrition and get them to stop buying "supplements" at the health food store that they store away under the cupboard when they think the supplements don't work.....and end up throwing awa in six months......what a waste of money.....yours!!!!
Supplements do not do what they are supposed to do because your body is .......filled with other waste matter and are not able to take in the nutrients from the supplements.
So how do you get the best benefit from your supplements....clean your body with proper nutrition for a start, but when this is done you will not need supplementation.
Supplementation means ...above what you are already doing, I bet you if you were to eat clean food and as much organic as you could afford you would bring up your nutrient levels....without supplements.....
Using proper whole foods for nutrition will always (in my book) win out over supplements that may or may not be in an absorbable format .....
I will keep you updated on the juice cleanse and am working on bringing you an interview on the benefits of juicing and spring cleaning for the body.
Until then stay juicy.
