The Best Detox Programme ever

So after much long deliberation and little bit of resistence on my side. We have decided to take a plunge into doing the infamous mentally challenging detox programme called The Master Cleanse.

I have done it 3 times before. The first two times were a huge success. The last attempt, was an attempt at best. I barely lasted four days!

The mental challenge is due to the fact that one literally has no solid food for at least 10 days. The only form of energy comes solely from the lemonade mix. This mix is compiled of fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. This lemonade mix is delicious compared to the other rituals that go along side by side with this detox programme. 

The first 4 days are the most challenging. As one experiences food withdrawal symptoms. Such as the increased acute smelling capability.  The art of smelling every sublime and delish aroma even if it's a mile away!

Unlike the 3 times times I have done the cleanse, this time around I have decided to ease into the Master cleanse. This way I have a better chance of following through as i am steadily preparing my mind to the idea of a liquid only diet.

Today i will spend all day on a liquid diet of water, tea, orange juice and home made juice. The home made juice is a mix of apples, cucumber, celery and mint leaves.

The funny thing is since my husband and I began the easing in session on Monday, I have gone off food a little.  My mind has decided to limit my intake of food. It's interesting how our subconscious minds work.

I shall be keeping you in the loop with the development o the upcoming days, the highs,  lows and the not so good moments. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to go ahead and enter it below?

The Detox - Day 5:-))

Yes, I have changed the title of these entries to "The Detox", cause I have run out of maple syrup today.  So how can it be a master cleanse without the lemonade drink, right?  I already feel GREAT!  Even though I didn't really stick to it to the tee.  I'm still proud of myself for being determined into detoxing, cutting off certain foods and not eating carby foods after 6pm. I have already started seeing the effects of my effort.  My size 10 skirts still don't fit yet, but mentally I'm feeling superb.  I never thought I could not eat anything without a carb, especially my beloved bread.  But I have hung in there.  I was doing my shopping the other day and eyes lingered on the frozen fries section.  However because I have a goal, I will abstain from all unnecessary fattening foods and I will stick to the rules of the Anna Richardsons, Body Blitz: 1.  No wheat (cakes, pastries etc.), 2. No Diary (apart from the ...

Good bye 2015

I am. The most powerful  two words. Simple but powerful. As the year Draws to a close. Some are in the spirit of the festivities. Others are mourning dreams that have died, feeling like failures because they didn't accomplish their goals.  And some others are in the sombre mood of contemplation. Processing the year gone by. And planning the year ahead. Looking at the past and learning from all the experiences rather than tearing yourself down because things didn't go your way is not the healthy route to take. As the last hours of 2015 tick by. Lets reflect, let's plan, and let's decide to take action in 2016. It begins with one step. A good idea and great plans lie dormant when action is not taking the lead. I read and heard this saying or a variation  of it. And it truly makes sense especially at this turning point. "There are no wrong dreams and plans. But there are incorrect deadlines." So those plans that didn't quiet take shape this year or the y...
