My bf and I watched the documentary "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" and decided to try a juice cleanse after hearing all the raving about how healthy and energetic people felt by doing it. Today is my first day doing it and so far it's already everything I expected: crazy cravings, slightly upset stomach, and just a lot eating foods that are either bland at best or just plain yucky at worst. But otherwise, it's not that bad.
We decided to do what may be a less strict version of the cleanse.
We juice several times a day but otherwise we eat only non-processed
fresh fruits, vegetables and we've even made allowance for nuts but
without any flavoring, just raw and natural. So far today, I had a
juice for breakfast, a banana as a snack, a salad with sliced avocados
for lunch, baby carrots and a banana for snack, steamed cabbage and
boiled plantains for dinner and more juice to come. All this with no
dressing, seasoning, enhancements... just plan raw fruits and a
veggies. I'm proud of myself for doing it but boy would I give anything
for some bread right now! How long do I plan to do this you ask? I'm
shooting for just 3-5 days only because I want to avoid loosing any
noticeable amount of weight. The boyfriend is on his 5th day and will
keep it up for 2 weeks.
Anyway, I filled my fridge with all kinds of goodies. Take a peek below
