So now it's been 2 weeksish since my cleanse ended. I have lost another pound. I've been eating predominately raw and have had small cheats of stuff here and there, but for the most part, raw.
People are starting to comment on my weight loss. I finally got to a point that it is noticeable to most people. When they ask me how I did it, I tell them about the cleanse/fast and they are surprised anyone can last 10 days without eating. When I tell them you can do it up to 40 and people have done it, they are bewildered. Some just thought I was nuts. Others were very interested in the cleanse and wanted more information. If you are any of those people. The cleanse is a great and at the same time a horrible experience. For me, my detox symptoms were mild compared to others. Others have had a lot of aches and pains, hot bm's (yes, hot ones!) and/or major breakouts. I have to admit that I did breakout on day 11 and 12 and the zits have yet to clear up. I got most of them on my forehead and my skin seems greasier than ususal. I still have new little pimples coming out. This is VERY annoying considering I normally have very clear skin. I think that I still have them since I am still detoxing due to my raw food consumption and am not flushing them out as quickly as I was when I was SWFing. I got some psyllum husk capsules in hopes that it will help out with that (It makes you very regular).
Oh - the great part of the cleanse is just knowing that you are cleaning yourself out. I had more energy (lately I have been sluggish and can't wake up in the morning). I wasn't bloated (which I've noticed I have been here and there). While on the fast, I really did feel good, after I got past the furry tongue and all. So if you are interested, below there are some links about the cleanse. One is the actual book by Stanley Burroughs. He is the man who came up with the cleanse. The other is a website which is very informative. It also has an awesome bulletin board/forum that I recommend everyone to read through if they are interested in doing this. The third is just a site I came across for people who have curly hair and are tired of the frizz. Believe it or not, it is quite the cult. The have great products and there is a special cut for curly hair so that you don't get the "pyramid" effect.
I guess that's if for now,
