We have decided to start a juice cleanse for the next couple of days. All I have had to "eat" today is a fruit smoothie and 3 16 oz juices. I'm tired and I'm cranky, so clearly I am detoxing something. We have our Hawaii trip coming up in a month so we thought what better way to get beach and travel ready than to "purge" our diet a bit.
Well I'm not even through the first day and this kind of sucks. On top of it, I baked pumpkin muffins (great timing O-dawg). Sure the just is good, but it's expensive and has a grass taste that is difficult to ignore sometimes. So, to motivate us, we are going to watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead again. For those of you who have not seen it, the documentary follows an Australian businessman on his quest to cleanse and purge his body of the damage he has done to it with his lifestyle. He decides to do this by going on an all juice diet for 60ish days. He loses a ton of weight and reverses the health issues that plagued him for so long. It's any interesting story, and there were others that tried the juice diet, and it helped many lose weight and eliminate things like migraines, diabetes, skin diseases, and some auto immune issues. We don't really have any of that going on, but our bodies send clear signs when they are not at their peak performance, and that is pretty much where we are at the moment.
So bottoms up I say!
