Well i’m now on the last day of the ‘cleanse’ and it hasn’t been an easy ride.
The points which made it hard were the fact that i work shifts and the past two days I have been getting up at 4am and trying to hold out for the first juice till 10am which is not a good idea. It made me very hungry and yesterday i had another emergency avocado although my juice later in the day called for an avocado so i just left it out then.
im sitting here drinking my first juice of four on the last day. It has carrots apples beetroots and blackberries in it and its not the most satisfying drink but hey ho.
I have weighed myself each day and today I was 12st 11.2 (179.2lbs) which is great I may even be able to get down to 12st 10 tomorrow and then i will be back on solid foods.
Advice from the program after the five days is to stick to drinking juice in the morning and having sort of blended soups and juices through the day. I am out in the evening tomorrow for a meal but I already know they do a Waldorf salad which has my name on it.
I think i will do one more post about it later on to sum up my overall opinion of the plan. For now I can definitely see my skin is clearer, a sort of little shine to it. My eyes are nice and white and bright which they have been since I stopped drinking. I am not tired but I still feel a little weak, I think the shifts have messed up my sleep patterns which is probably the reason for that. I have a big day with exams tomorrow so a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast will get me ready I hope.
I would recommend anyone to try it. If you work normal days then this totally attainable Monday to Friday which not a lot of preparation. I chose Jason Vales plan over the Fat Sick and Nearly dead one only because he was English and the juicer and vegetables and fruit were all spelt out in the vernacular. Not that its that difficult but it seemed more straight forward.
So far I have lost 4.8lbs and the plan is 5lbs in 5 days so right on the mark there. Though I’m not bounding with energy just yet I do feel like I’ve completed a mini challenge or I will have done by this evening.
Still sobering along too. Im on day 74 now i believe. Only 26 days to go
