And I usually think about taking pictures when I'm almost done, if at all, but this week I was better with taking them. Here's a quick recap of Days 4-6. I'll share Days 7-10 later in the week.
Day 4
Day 6
I was on the move for Day 4. I started with warm water with lemon as usual. For breakfast I had a green smoothie with peaches, mango, spinach, celery and coconut water.
I packed a lovely lunch that I couldn't keep cold after a change in my plans for the day. Because I was out longer than planned, I shared my lunch with a friend and opted for garlic steamed kale and brussel sprouts from Sunflower Cafe in Berry Hill, which I forgot to capture.
Lunch was more than enough for the rest of the day, so I had a desire for grapes later that evening.
Day 5
My cravings came alive on Day 5. I wanted everything. At this point I've learned the best way for me to fight these cravings is to stick to liquids until they pass.
After my warm water with lemon, I had Metu Neter, a combination of celery, Granny Smith apples, broccoli and cucumber. I found this recipe and some of my current favorites at Vegan Wasted during a detox last year.
During the day, I ate lots of water-rich fruit including watermelon and grapes. For dinner I had a green smoothie with spinach, celery, mango and blueberries. It worked. I didn't cave in to the cravings.
Day 6
After water with lemon I had a green smoothie made of spinach, celery, peaches and coconut water.
Having a green smoothie in the morning sets the tone of the day for me and as long as I have fruit, water and nuts, I'm good. I also made the same green smoothie from the previous day after dinner, which was a salad with vinegrette dressing I found online. It wasn't very good to me, so I won't share it here. Back to the lab on that one.
As a general rule, I drink water constantly throughout the day to help my body move any toxins it wants to release.
Life, Health and Prosperity,
Ashiya
