The Day before the Cleanse
Went to the supermarket and bought all the supplies - Total Cost $130 for TWO people for 3 days of cleanse! A whole lot cheaper than the online cleanse you could buy, very happy.
I made the juices for myself and my boyfriend after having my last solid meal along with all the soup for the week and labelled them so we knew which one was for when. Soups obviously took longer to make but multitasked and managed to get it all done within an hour and a half including prep and cleaning up. Went to bed early so I could start fresh tomorrow.
Weight: 65kg
Ok so I woke up feeling very excited to start the cleanse. I enjoyed my first Avocado Smoothie and didn't feel hungry at all. I then went on the exercise bike for a light work out for half an hour whilst watching tv and drinking water. Then had my spicy lemon drink which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be *phew* followed by a T2 Sencha Tea. I had organised to catch up with a friend after lunch which was hard because she ordered a nice big piece of black forest cake and tempted me with it but alas I resisted. I just drank more green tea. After dinner, I started making the juices for the next day, which only took me an hour. Made it through the day without giving in to the Oreo's and junk food my family had surrounded me with and went to bed feeling pretty good.
Day Two
I woke up feeling amazing! My stomach was flatter from not being bloated and it stayed that way for the whole day. This was amazing considering I usually suffered from bloating that would double the size of my stomach by lunch time! Felt a little bit hungry today especially at dinner but just finished my day with more green tea and hungry had subsided. Obviously with all the liquid intake, I was peeing a lot but I was loving how good my body was feeling. My boyfriend had more trouble sticking to the juice cleanse as he's a carpenter and was doing a lot more labour than I was so he had an extra juice to help him.
Day Three
Woke up with a headache but I have jaw joint problems so it was probably from the grinding of my teeth rather than the diet. I was definitely losing a lot of water weight (you won't lose fat on this cleanse) and still wasn't bloated. My mum even noticed how thin I looked. I now know why people eat only organic foods, and cut out certain foods.. It definitely has lots of health benefits and I'm feeling them already. Had to go to work at 5.30pm until 9 so had my soup dinner early to help me get through the shift. I could easily continue to eat healthier after seeing how good it is for my body especially the bloating! Again, my boyfriend needed an extra drink to get through work but he managed to stick it out and also saw the benefits.
Ending Weight: 63.2kg - so much water weight!
It has now been a few weeks since I completed the cleanse and I am still at 63kg, however I have had chronic appendicitis for the last week and had a loss of appetite from that. But have stuck to eating healthier and exercising regularly. I will also be posting exercise diary on home exercises that don't require a gym nor equipment. So watch this space
