Internal Cleanse

Well-as part of my quitting drinking-I’m doing a cleansing detox diet for about 8 days. I actually had planned it quite some time ago when I knew John was going to be leaving. My original plan was to quit drinking on my own and the cleanse was going to be my new beginning. Well-I quit sooner than I had planned :-) but I still really want to do this for my mind and body. I am really looking forward to my detox week! It'll be like the final goodbye to all of the residual alcohol left in my body-maybe more mentally than physically-it'll be good.

It’s a combo of several different detox diets…the main one being from this book…
which I had heard about a while back from Kelly O.

So-here is my plan...starting Saturday:
Each morning I will start the day with a glass of lemon water. Followed by some raw veg juice. Then a whey protein drink with berries and almond milk.
I will have tea
and veg juice until lunch time-then I will have a huge salad of all raw vegetables and an avocado with lemon and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Mid afternoon I will have miso soup with shredded wakame (seaweed). Dinner will be salmon or organic chicken with some roasted beets, steamed beans or broccoli and occasionally some sweet potato. And more olive oil-it’s supposed to help move things along :o)
And of course heaps of water.

Also, the first night I am taking a detox bath soak with “Himalayan Crystal Salt”-
said to have amazing detoxifying effects; really pulls it out of you...who knows-could be a scam-I’ll let you know afterwards!

The other nights after that I’m also doing the detox foot patches.


I can’t believe how excited I am to do this! I’ll give the low down as I go.
Cheers all!

I've been meaning to try those foot patches for a few years now and keep forgetting. A naturopath showed me how they draw everything out...fascinating.
