3 day cleanse, again


So, I'm finally back in the blogosphere after a summer hiatus and a little revamping of the blog, and just in time to share some super interesting news. Randy & I just got done with a 3 day cleanse, and some of yallz have been asking me about it (it's one we've done a couple times before, whenever we feel like we couldn't be any more unhealthy). It is also one I posted about before which you can find here and it is still my favorite one for a few reasons listed below (but it is definitely not for everyone).



1)You aren't starving, you still eat as much as you want (from selected items on the guideline list and recipe sections), you're not just drinking lemon water and maple syrup 25 times a day.
2)It is meant to reset everything, not meant for you to lose weight. But you usually do from releasing stuff that shouldn't be there. 

3)It makes us both feel lighter and not bloated all the time from coke zeros and other horrible things we probably consume.
4)Makes you realize, again, that when you're busy people you forget to slow down and make healthy choices. Randy and I are such foodies and love trying new restaurants and foods together, which will never stop. But this helps create a regular lifestyle at home for us when we aren't indulging in gluttony. 

5)My not favorite part and the worst part is the caffeine, mainly coffee and chocolate. I can't really be a human without coffee, so the past 3 days I have taken several naps, went to bed at 10:00 at the latest from exhaustion and haven't formulated a complete sentence. But other than that it's great.

6)Finally, the menu items are quite delish for a cleanse. See pictured sweet & sour chicken below and failed attempt at chocolate scones on right (tempting I know). It can be a little confusing if you like things spelled out and planned, but this one offers you recipes you can choose for whatever meal you want. Just start off the day with one of the shakes they recommend and don't stop drinking water. (PS if you do the green machine or whatever shake pictured above, beware that spirulina tastes absolutely horrible so throw an apple in there and only use a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon and you're good to go).

If you're looking for a quick way to jump start yourself into eating healthy, feeling lighter, and reset your digestive system, this may be the cleanse for you!
