Morning!

If you follow me on twitter you will know that the most amazing thing happened last night!

Basically yesterday was one of the worst days so far, I was lethargic I could barely move and all I wanted was some soup or a piece of fruit. The main problem with the whole thing is I still hate the taste of the drink, I don't like maple syrup and well that's the main ingredient...

So between a couple of sips of the drink and water that's all I've had for the last 2 days, so as you can imagine my energy levels have hit rock bottom. However, last night at around 7pm my energy levels started to soar, I was able to do a bit of Pilates before bed and even stay up a little bit later to sort things out! Don't get me wrong my mental energy has been there but my body doesn't seem to want to respond.

The worst thing about this detox for me is not being able to do anything at all, and constantly thinking to myself 'Why am I doing this?', starvation is not the answer to weight loss because as soon as you eat again the weight will slowly but surely come back again, not that weight loss was my ultimate goal anyway, but so far all I've experienced is headaches/being tired/spurts of energy/a rumbly tummy and red eyes. And in all honestly I miss exercise!

Today if my energy levels dwindle too much I think I will add in a freshly pressed juice, for me this is very beneficial and it's still liquid!
I don't want to struggle eating solid food again so the longer I detox the longer that will happen.

Last night during my sleep I woke up with the worst sore throat ever. Eugh, it was atrocious. I just drank lots of water and eventually it disappeared, my tongue is a funny colour like the website said it would be (a sort of white/grey) so that's weird. Another side effect is shaking and a constant pulsating through my body mainly my bowls and my stomach.

Well in conclusion, I don't think this detox was for me but I will do my best to stick it out for at least today...

Apparently for the full blown effects you need to continue the detox for at least 7 days but I personally can't stand the solution and I feel that something like 'the cabbage soup diet' or a 'Juice cleanse' would have many more health benefits as both include either fresh fruit or vegetables.

I wish anyone who takes part in this good luck and I hope you stick to it, but for me I need that fruit and veg to survive as that's all I eat!!

Also, during this detox I have decided to become a full blown vegetarian again, I don't think Veganism is for me as I enjoy dairy/eggs/Quorn too much and I don't believe animals are harmed during the processes that take place.

Again, I will update you for the last time tomorrow and tell you how things went down on Day 3.

Have a great day!


Namaste,
