Season for Detox – Day 14

This is a milestone day – the end of two weeks of detoxing. This is the longest detox I’ve attempted. I realized early this morning that those cold symptoms I was having weren’t really a cold, but detox symptoms. It’s very common to have what seems like a cold or flu when on an extended detox. That’s because the body is shaking off toxins that have been locked into cells for a long period of time.

Season for Detox – Day 13

Wow, almost two weeks. I’m feeling good. Starting to see where I’m losing some fat too which is fabulous and great motivation to keep going. I don’t know if I’ll stop for Thanksgiving next week or just keep going. I absolutely love the first holiday turkey dinner for the year so it will be difficult to miss out on that. Three weeks will be good but I’ll have to start weaning off of the detox before then or I might feel a bit ill from the rich food and turkey. That means I’ll have to make up my mind about this no later than this weekend.

Season for Detox – Day 12

I actually missed posting my detox experience yesterday. Funny how you can almost forget what you ate in a very short period of time. What I do remember is that I decided to go back to the basics of the detox. I think I started using too many spices at once after being off of them for a week. Not that I blew the detox. Everything I ate was good for that; it was just a bit too much at once. For instance, I usually include in each meal onions, garlic and some ginger. All of these are great for the digestive system and for the detox.

Season for Detox – Day 11

So for Day 11, I made another kale and tomato salad which I’m coming to love. I included raw almonds and bit of goat cheese for protein. Earlier I had a green salad. I still didn’t feel too hungry at the end of the day but quite satisfied. I can tell that weight is coming off but I haven’t been on a scale for a few weeks. Guess it might be time for that pretty soon.

Season for Detox – Day 10

Ten days – I can’t belive it. Ten whole days of doing this detox. I’ve done several detoxs of seven days, even fasted for 10 days (which isn’t a great thing for general health purposes depeding on how it’s done). But thi sis the longest detox experience I’ve had with raw/vegan foods.

Season for Detox – Day 9

Without this detox I probably would’t be finding these great recipes to try and being so conscious of how these fresh, new foods are affecting my body. Think about joining me in your own detox. Believe me, it’s worth it.

Getting Older

Do you worry about getting old? I know that’s not easy to bring up but sometimes you just have to face reality. At some point, if we live long enough we’ll grow older and eventually we’ll get old.

The Belly Fat Issue

Have you tried to get rid of fat about the belly? I know, don’t moan. Millions of us (seasoned women that is) have to be very careful about gaining too much fat in this area. Yet, being menopausal seems to bring on the problem more than ever. But that doesn’t mean you can’t prevent the problem or that you have to keep belly fat if you already have it.
