The cod made me wanna puke, so I didn't finish eating it.

Meh.. isn't there protein in my veggies?

When this detox is over, I am ordering a fucking pizza with feta, and then going out and eating a cake.

LOL!

Sunflower seeds are power packed with healthy fats, protein,fiber,minerals,vitamin E and phytochemicals.

There... I had loads of sunflower seeds today.

Day 9:

� 300 mg of Iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C
� "Arthur's Carrot Smoothie" (carrot juice, apple juice, banana puree, mango puree, passionfruit juice, beta-carotene, vitamin C)
� 0.75lb of mixed fruit
� lots of sunflower seeds
� 3 rice cakes
� 0.662 kg of mixed fruit
� 300 mg of Iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C

Observations: Appetite = nill today. Not feeling too good. First day of menstrual cycle, so totally moody and crampy. For the first time EVER, I had a pimple on my back (toxins coming out through my skin?). Didn't feel bloated immediately before menstrual cycle started which is really unusual. Fecal matter becoming clay like, both in colour and in viscosity. Urine still clear.

Day 10:

� 300 mg of Iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C
� "Arthur's Carrot Smoothie" (carrot juice, apple juice, banana puree, mango puree, passionfruit juice, beta-carotene, vitamin C)
� 3 rice cakes
� 70-80 raisins
� 3 handfuls of sunflower seeds
� 0.616 kg of mixed fruit
� 4 strawberries
� bowl of natural live yogurt
� 3 tablespoons of oats
� 2 tablespoons of honey
� 14 almonds
� 398 mL of organic soup (filtered water, organic split green peas, organic onions, organic celery, organic carrots, sea salt, organic basil, organic garlic, spices, organic black pepper)
� 300 mg of Iron w/ 500 mg of vitamin C

Observations: This morning I was feeling like rubbish, but after I napped, I felt a lot better. Fecal matter is grey. Urine is still clear. Skin is clearing up again, however I have been puting pure vitamin E straight onto the breakouts. Sleeping really well. Have clearly lost some weight. Skin and hair are both very soft.

I am obviously not recording when I am drinking all my water. Sometimes I write it down, other times I don't bother. Anyway, just assume that a lot of water is being consumed.

Grocery shopping with the boy this evening. Spent another $100 on groceries that should hopefully last me pretty much until the finish of this detox. In total, about $215 has been spent on groceries in the last two weeks, and that isn't including the random grocery pick ups I have made here and there. Healthy foods are fucking pricey!

Cravings for salt are only when the temptation is immediate (when I smell feta cheese (I make greek salads at work), or when I see almonds with salt etc. Otherwise I am ok.

I did some more research and read the small amounts of sea salt were allowed, so I bought the organic soup with the sea salt. Very tasty, but REALLY expensive.

Feeling good in general. I stopped recording exactly when my exercise regimen has been, but I have been working out. Doing 30+ crunches each morning and evening, plus other various stuff.

Have been tempted to call it quits at the 2 week mark, but I am a stubborn little wanker sometimes, so I am going to push it until I get my full three weeks. I am half way there YAY!!

With any luck your low salt, lack of saturated fats and sugars arse will come to some kind of realisation and appreciation of just how old, tired and awful they make you feel, look and behave.
You might not think much of it as you're still quite young, start sliding down towards 30 though and you'll wish it more than most anything to have your health and looks back.

I've already felt a huge difference. I am sleeping better, I feel more alert, my mind is clearer, my skin and hair are both softer... etc. etc.

It is true that the massive amount of crap we eat makes a huge difference in how we feel. I mean, my diet was pretty impressive before I started to detox, and I am STILL feeling the difference. Imagine how someone who eats complete garbage all the time would feel? People don't seem to realize how pivotal their eating habits are in regard to their overall health and the way the feel and operate.

Same way they look, crap usually

Glad you're getting something out of it physically as well as a bit of a placebo effect in there as well most likely. I don't reckon you'll go back to old naughty habits

I am not entirely sure the placebo concept is true. Perhaps it is (the mind is a powerful thing, and it can do some crazy shit,) however, I started this without any real expectations, and have had a lot of skepticism and negativity associated with the process. Hmmm, who knows.

Fair enough I suppose.
Had to be a good reason for you though initiating an extreme diet though?

Well... not something I like to talk about on here, but some various health issues that were concerning me coerced me to at least make an attempt and see what happened.

It's cool, PM me if you want.

Originally posted by Frenchie If I wasn't drinking alcohol right now, I'd drink some milk. I just.. I don't know. My 4 closest best friends HATE milk and really don't know how I can just pour a HUGE glass and drink it just like that. As a kid I was just so attached to milk

Why not do both? White Russians ftmfw

That reminds me, gotta pick up some half n half tomorrow. Been trying to drink using 1% milk, and that shit is crap.

Alright, so tomorrow (technically today) is the last day of my detox. I know I haven't been updating this every single day, BUT I have recorded everything I have eaten each day, so I will get to writing it all out eventually.

I am so excited to be able to eat normal food again I am going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I am gonna get lots of chicken and meat, and bread, and cheese, and... and lots of stuff.

Oh, and I have been stocking up on easter chocolate, so Imma mow down on some chocolate too

I am really proud of myself; I have not cheated at all on this diet, and I am feeling super duper awesome I know that this last three weeks has made a huge impact on my overall health, and it's given me a reality check on how a diet can drastically influence how you feel. I will for sure keep up the healthy eating (even more than I had been before).

I have DEFINITELY lost weight, but I wont have the exact number until either tomorrow or tuesday when I can weigh myself. I am guessing about 10 lbs though.

Anyway, I really suggest that other people should try this. It takes A LOT of will power (I wanted to cheat about 32458734 times, and even considered cutting the detox down a week,) but it is worth it.
