Don’t worry, we aren’t talking about the bathroom! Today is Thursday which means I ended my 3 day cleanse the moment I woke up yesterday. What did I learn?
- Know your limits. I was a first timer and I decided that to get through the cleanse I was going to need to eat some of the items meant for juicing just so I didn’t feel like I was falling apart.
- I was definitely not getting enough fruits and vegetables before. Despite the challenging aspects of a liquid diet, I found myself feeling amazing! I felt lighter.
- Transitioning back was not as hard as I anticipated. What makes it easy is the salad bar at work. I really don’t have to go out of my way to get a good salad. Now that the cleanse is over I’m adding a small (non-creamy) soup to my lunch because it’s cold and I want to.
In a way, this has changed the way I want to eat. It has changed what I crave and I think I’m all the better for it.
