Thank you so much for the four day cleanse. I have to say that I really loved it- and wished it went on for longer. I have stuck to fruit and vegetables for the last few days and feel pretty good. I am not going to have cheese, dairy or meat for a little while. I have had some canned tuna tonight with the vegies.

So, the four day cleanse:

To begin with I was really hungry and had the first 3 juices by midday and tried to have a break in the afternoon as I knew I would be hungry at night. I got through the first day without too much of a headache- there was a dull ache but it wasn’t too bad and I was  surprised to also have a runny nose for 5 minutes on the first day. The first day was definitely the hardest- especially as I cook for my 18 month old during the day, do the shopping etc. I went to bed quite early (no time to rest/ take it easy during the day with a 5  and 18 month old)- felt a little grumpy and irritable but it wasn’t too bad. 

Day 2 was better, still hungry at various times and became aware of how much I pick during the day. I drank lots of water and herbal tea for the four days- really filled me up and urine was clear by day two. 

Day 3 I was really getting into it- beginning to think about the food I normally put into my mouth and how much I can do without it. I was feeling pretty please about myself for being so strict and sticking to the juice diet. 

By Day 4 I have to say that I had adjusted to having the 6 juices and had the last 3 from 5pm onwards. Day 5 ..I was missing the juices!

So all in all I was surprised that I didn’t get more side affects, but I suppose there are so many goodies in the juices that it is not as if I was starving my body. I didn’t have time to have a bath but had one 2 days after the detox with the white stuff. The emails sent through daily were really great and help you to stay on track and remind you how good it is for you.
