So I decided to jumpstart eating better and trying to exercise (since its really hard to do in winter time) I'm doing a 3 Day Cleanse. It's based on the BluePrint Cleanse. But since I can't afford to have their juices shipped to me I bought their book The 3-day Cleanse. I've been pre-cleansing all weekend which basically involved cutting out caffeine and uber-greasy heavy foods. So had smoothies, salad, soup, had some cabbage last night. It wasn't terribly bad but I did have a caffeine withdrawal headache yesterday. So had to drink some green tea. I just feel that I'm full of junk, been eating like a piggie for a few months now with all care thrown to the wind. So want to get that mess out of me and start fresh. And portion control!!! That's my biggest downfall.
I picked this cleanse b/c your not starving yourself, I'm drinking 6 juices a day and some are smoothies. They aren't super strict if you HAVE to eat something during the cleanse they give you a list of recommended snack items. Tons of recipes in the back of the book for pre and post cleanse. Lots of good ideas and I love their motto "Work hard. Play hard. Cleanse. Repeat." So if this experiment is successful I may be incorporating this cleanse into my diet every few months. Can't do it every month way to 'spensive. Even doing the juices myself still came out to around $150. Cheaper than $265 but still, ouch!
So I'm on day one juice one right now. Its the green juice, I'm getting it down slowly. It doesn't taste bad just different. My tastebuds are like "What's all this?" It has spinach, kale, parsley, green apple, cucumber, lemon and ginger. All the rest of the juices have way better ingredients but this is the first one in the morning to get stuff moving haha! Anyways I'll try to post later this week or beginning of next week and let you know how I fared. Happy detox to all!
