detox

I have not smoked for 172 days!
Which is amazing for me, I smoked for such a longtime and always wanted to quit, addictions suck :-(
Sometimes I still have cravings, although now they are few and far between
I no longer drink black tea and drink the occasional coffee or some wine,
there was a point a year ago when I was drinking way too much on a regular basis, I wasn’t fond of my lifestyle I just didn’t know how to get out it,

Best wishes to everyone who is detoxing,
I know you can do it, just keep going and never give up

I am feeling good!

havent eaten yet so I will figure something out.

had yogurt (drunk water at the same time to make a lassi-like substance lassi is an indian drink of 3 part yogurt 1 part water)

Had a lunch of a carrot and lettuce soup with water and an indian spice, a warm tortilla and warmed and moistened dried pears (drunk water while chewing them)

I settled that down with some green tea and a neutral temperature bottle of water.

I think I am gonna cut out the tortilla, and try to get some chappati bread.

The fun thing about self detox is that you get to concoct meals on your own if you want!

starts tomorrow since I ate chips today, this won’t be hard for me at all I have extreme amounts of self control when it comes to dieting. I have lost 18 pounds by diet and exercise and also am a vegetarian so changing my diet is simple for me I just have to remember to have a lot of green tea etc.

Has anyone tried to do Maharishi Ayurvedic detox?

I tried it but for some reason stopped, it was great when I was doing it.

It really involves changing your diet for 2 weeks or so, then start taking the detox supplements and also start detox lifestyle, which involves some mental detox too.

Pretty much involves eating warm foods, nothing frozen or cold, eating a lot of fruit, no bread with yeast, drink warm water and milk, drink a thermos of hot tea throughout the day.

After you do this the recommended supplements are a cooked apple for breakfast, your largest meal for lunch and soup for dinner.

This really works for weight loss as well so you should all try it, the Ayurvedas of India really know their food diet and detox.

so! i started detoxing yesterday, and managed to go the whole day when i decided to ask my friend to do it with me

and she was like “can we start tomorrow? i want some chips reeaaallly bad”

so i was like “sure!”

and gobbled down my last dosage of biscuits

but apart frmo the biscuits i was doing great! i was even showing the first detox symptoms (headache!)

so yeah, i fully started today

had a fruit salad with plain yoghurt for breakfast

snacked on fruit throughout the day

and came home from work to a big yummy bowl of vegetables and a bit of muesli (mueslis ok isnt it??? or ISNT it??)

drank plenty of water and green tea throughout the day too, so im feeling really good about the amount of willpower i have!

just gonna wait for tomorrow when i wake up feeling like im dead.

i actually felt like i was dying yesterday too, i think i picked the wrong time to start detoxing, because im catching the flu!!!!

whatever, im not going to let that stop me

So I am marking it as done.

finished a wild rose detox. it was not hard at all. first 3 days i felt weaker than normal but didn’t have nay headaches or nausea or anything.
healthy eating is great.
although Chinese pineapple buns are amazing too!

so! about 3 months ago i did a detox, was supposed to keep you all posted about my progress in it.. but i forgot hah!

HOWEVER

i’l tell you now.. i did SO well! did it for about 10 days, just kept on eating fruit, veg, nuts and heaps of water and green tea.

i felt a m a z i n g! my skin was glowing and my mood was constantly happy!

however…... i thought it would make me change my ways and get rid of my unhealthy habits.. it really didnt!

now im back to my old self, eating crap that makes me feel yuck.

so im gonna have another go! my birthdays coming up so i dont see why not. i wanna feel good on my big day!

so yeah

im going to start it on saturday! i would just start it tomorrow but im gonna be drinking for a friends birthday on friday… so it would all be a waste of time!

and this time i’l try and remember to post and show how im doing, because that way hopefully i’ll stick to it!

Ok this is the plan

Day 1 – 3: Raw fruit and vege only
Day 4: Introduce oats and raw nuts
Day 5 & 6: introduce organic fish and chicken
Day 7: Introduce red meat and v. small quantity of brown rice

Everyday: 3 Litres of water min, green tea and lemon/ginger tea, as much as I want! Not alcohol, caffiene, sugar etc :) (obvuously)

I have just started day one with a delicious fruit salad for breakfast :)
