I am checking in and reporting... I broke my cheanse early
My sisters birthday party was today and I had teh task of making a ton of food! so I broke it a couple of days ago....
I did 14 days! Lost 14lbs and I feel AMAZING! The sluggishness from eating crap has left me!
Hubby did 14 days! Lost 24lbs and is now OFF THE DIET SODA! In fact he's off all soda! And so far 100% raw... I think he will remaim about 90% raw from here on out... he was about 80% raw before. He is so much healthier now! It shows in his skin, his eyes. his energy! I love it!!!!!
Post cleanse... I have lost 2.5 more pounds! So the talk of gaining it back only applies if you go back to eating crap... And by crap I mean SAD, the Standard American Diet. If thats the diet of choice for you, YES you WILL gain every ounce back!!!! The whole idea of cleansing your body is not to run right out and cram the crap right back into it!
I came off of my cleanse way back when and went onto a raw diet. Let me rephrase that.... I started eating Raw foods... I did NOT go on a diet, I just started eating much healthier! And in doing so I managed to take off over 100lbs!
Amazing! Just changing my lifestyle and going back to before the burger and refined sugers, I was able to allow my body to find its natural shape! Have you ever seen an OVERWEIGHT animal in the wild??? They are all the weight they are supposed to me! They are all living to their exact potential! Why?? Because there are no drivethroughs in the forrest! No refills on sodas and no frozzen dinners or french bread for the animals to eat!
So I'm eating what the earth is providing me.. fresh fruits and veggies, raw nuts and oils! And its doing wonders for me! I am getting enough iron, protein, vitamins and minerals! I've had blood tests and I'm not low on anything.. I give blood, you have to have high enough iron to do this, and I am! Almonds, greens, and rasins are great sources of iron! And the enzymes!!!! My food digests itself!!! My body hardly has to work!
And the water content of my food is so high that I am so well hydrated! It makes my skin glow!
Wow.. I am so off my own topic here! lol I get get so excited about eating raw! lol Can't ya tell!!! I forget what I was even talking about!
Just to show you what I'm eating... Here is Lunch from today and yesterday!!! The one without the StarFruit was yesterday and the Star Fruit was Today! They were both sooooo good! No dressing! Avacado and Sprouts are way too good by themselves!!!
