I'm certain there will be many aha! moments during this 21 day cleanse. I've already touched on suddenly desiring every horrible food out there that will clog my arteries, provide me a few more chins, and give my thighs an oh-so-sexy surface-of-the-moon texture. Although I KNOW this, I would kill for a cupcake right now.
For those interested in the cleanse, I have a few observations. One being, if this is a huge departure from your regular diet plan, prepare yourself. There will be changes almost immediately in terms of how your body operates. Aside from going seemingly ALL the time, I'm also finding that I am never getting full. I eat at regular intervals and never go hungry, but I also never have the sensation of having over-eaten. It feels like I'm eating the perfect right amount of food for me. Overall it feels really good. It's what 'moderation' feels like.
We spent the first two days at home trying to get our rhythm down as we figured out how to squeeze in a life in-between supplements, meals and protein shakes. Challenging, but it's slowly falling into place. One tip regarding the shakes. It was recommended we use fresh or frozen organic fruits along with SP Complete (protein powder), flax seed oil, water and ice. The first few shakes were super thick and hard to drink. When playing with the recipe a bit we removed the ice and the consistency of the shakes improved tenfold - it even tasted better. Now they taste like any other smoothie....however that may be my taste buds adjusting to my reality for the next three weeks. Gotta love biology.
