Okay. So, a friend of mine tried this detox a few months back. I decided I'd give it a go since I've done a 30-day juice fast in the past (which proved to be very rewarding). It's very simple. But let me tell you...it ain't easy. The detox only involves a drink, which is two, one-gallon jugs of "fruit juice". The ingredients are: Distilled Water Grapefruit Juice Oranges Lemons Before starting + in order to "get my mind right", I read a couple of write-ups and watched a few review videos on YouTube (which were hilarious btw). Some of them helped. Others, not so much. One guy ate a kale salad and a burrito bowl from Chipotle during the detox so I was just confused. Anyway... The detox requires you to drink one gallon per day for two days (8-12 oz. every hour) + distilled water every two hours to get the full benefit of the cleanse. Easy, right? So, let me begin... I drank my first 8 oz. around 11am. The juice is tart. Not sweet in the least. That's the number one thing to get over. Got that established. But I couldn't hold out until noon for the next 8 oz... So, I had another 16 oz. by 12:30pm. It's a liquid cleanse, with the intake of a looooot of Vitamin C right, which is a nutrient we don't store in our body, therefore, it gets flushed out in our urine. So, restroom breaks are frequent. And frequent ain't the word. The rest of the afternoon wasn't that difficult until around 4pm when I kept looking for a snack that I couldn't have because I am thankful for the strength GOD gave me so I didn't dare microwave that popcorn that was staring me in my face. Another six restroom breaks. Drink more water. Around 6pm, I've drank at least 2/3rds of the gallon. The next hour or so was okay because I was on the phone and unpacking from a trip. When blessings are distractions are blessings... Fast forward to 7:30pm, I take a trip to Target to get a picture frame, but I really just want something to chew on that tastes delicious. In fact, I cruised the aisles of the food section just to satisfy the thoughts of eating food when this is over. I won the challenge, but I want a pizza. It's now 11:11pm. I still have about 10 oz. in my blender bottle and another 12 oz. in the jug. I'm going to knock this last 22 oz. out and take my ass to bed. I am sooooo looking forward to doing this again tomorrow. I can say that mental clarity is most rewarding during this detox. That, plus I feel light. Plus, I have allll the energy. Where's bae? LOL THE MAIN THING TO REMEMBER: The KEY to success is to NOT eat. Do not eat. Do not snack. Even if it's only a piece of fruit or something "small". The purpose is to cleanse; flush out toxins; and rejuvenate. Eating solid foods will disrupt the process. I recognize that food isn't only for nourishment, but also taste. For some of us, it can also be an oral fixation, so by all means try your best to NOT EAT. Day 2 tomorrow.
