It was time, my body needed a GOOD cleaning from the inside. I know many people frown upon dieting and detoxing but I know what works for me.
The goal of this 5 day juice detox is to remove waste from the digestive system. Since I'm trying to lose weight and make better healthy eating choices and pretty much, "trying to get my life before summer". ( Insert evil grin) I tried it, for the second time. Yes, you heard it correctly. I did this about 2 years ago and went back to eating all the fried, sugar and bad foods I wanted. This time though I am determined to make it work and last.
At the same time that I was planning to do this detox, wouldn't you know, one of my friends called me and told me there was a Groupon for it. Yay, score!!! I paid half of what this detox is worth. :-)

Here is everything I needed for the detox minus the fruit.
The first day, well really, all 5 days of the detox. The bathroom and I became well acquainted. The first two days your body is really going through it. You can tell you are flushing those toxins right out of your system. In the morning when you take your protein drink and your herbal tea mix you feel so cheery and bubbly but within the next few hours, boy does it wear off. I felt so drained, sleepy and tired. All I wanted to do was curl up in my bed and sleep until it was morning, so that I could restart the drink mix again and feel like myself. By the 3rd day, I came to grips with this detox. I felt better, no more upper and downers. I can tell it was doing what it was set out to do. By the time I reached the 5th day, I knew I was at the finish line, believe it or not I craved for spinach, raw, pure and unadulterated spinach instead of craving for fried foods or bad foods. The next morning, I went and had breakfast all by myself and had a Vegetarian Omelet stuffed with extra spinach. It was delicious!
From this detox, I lost a few pounds and inches. I wanted to lose some weight but it wasn't my main goal in doing this detox. I just wanted to detoxify my body. I've also adamantly agreed to make healthier eating choices and decisions.
*These are my opinions expressed, I am not promoting this detox and I did not receive compensation for this detox.*
