Happy Friday! I’m spending the day juicing.
In Crazy Sexy Diet, Kris Carr recommends a few all liquid days during the 21-day cleanse. At the outset, I was not so into this idea. What about my ravenous hunger? I didn’t think I could make it through a green smoothie and green juice day.
Twelve days into this cleanse, however, I feel differently. The crazy hunger for which I am known is gone, whether that’s thanks to all the extra water I’m drinking or the fact that my food cravings were probably just my sugar addiction screaming at me. Or my insane marathon training schedule. Or a combination of these. The point is, I haven’t really been hungry on this cleanse. I’m getting much more of the nutrients my body needs, so my cravings have subsided. And I feel great. So I decided to go for it. One day, all liquids.
In preparation, I stopped by Liquiteria last night and picked up two juices. I make my own often, but theirs taste so delicious that I thought I’d incorporate them in as a treat. In addition to these juices, I made three smoothies packed full of protein and greens. So far, it’s 4 pm and I’ve had two smoothies, 1 juice, 2 cups of herbal tea, and lots of water. Status: feeling fantastic.
I think the healthier you get, the more empowered I am to sit around eating industrial amounts of apple crumble. It’s on your behalf!
Much gratitude to you for bearing that cross, all for me! But don’t worry; apple crumble is not gone from my life forever…
The record should show that today’s crumble was made with oats, spelt flour, walnuts, sultanas AND dates, along with the apple (and the sugar, don’t forget the sugar). If that’s not a health food, I don’t know what is.
I’m living vicariously through your cleanse and enjoying it! I may even try dry brushing sometime. Keep up the updates and photos!
