5-Day Cleanse

[Guest guest]

Here is the email I received from Frederic today:

Hello everybody!

 

Day 3 of this no-fat, raw-food cleanse may be a

little challenge. The first two days is the plunge.

The third day really gets into it. It takes an extra

dose of commitment to overcome the temptation

to quit. Courage! The best part is ahead...

 

Remember, there are over 1000 people doing this

together! Myself included. I'm with you until Friday

and after.

 

WHAT I ATE TODAY

 

More food! I definitely did not eat enough in the last

two days, considering my activity levels (my move, etc.).

So today I was hungrier. I ate a piece of watermelon

and 3-4 mangoes in the morning. Later I had 4 Fuyu

persimmons. For lunch I had two smoothies containing

about 5 bananas each. 3-4 hours later I had the same

thing (yes, that's 20 bananas). I just snacked on some

watermelon, tomatoes, and celery. Oh, and I drank in

the evening a big glass of kale-celery-carrot-lemon

juice, that I made with my juicer. I'm feeling perfectly

satisfied.

 

THE SIMPLEST SMOOTHIE

 

When bananas are ripe, they can be kept in the fridge.

Blending those cool bananas with water is a real treat.

 

EATING ONLY FRUIT

 

It's okay if during those 5-day of cleanse you only

eat fruit or very few vegetables.

 

HEADACHES DURING THE CLEANSE

 

Some people have told me they experienced some

headaches during the first days of the cleanse. Those

headaches are normal, like when a coffee drinker stops

the daily coffee. They won't last more than a few days,

normally. The only thing that really helps is rest, but

also aerobic exercise really gets rid of headaches fast.

 

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE PEOPLE

 

Some people can react negatively and give you a hard

time when tell them that you're doing a " cleanse " or a

special diet. Personally, I usually don't tell people

exactly what I'm doing. Instead of saying I'm doing a

" cleanse " without fats and all raw for a week, I simply

say I decided to eat really simple foods for some time,

without giving more details. I really don't have any

time to waste dealing with other people's negativity,

and I'm not out to convert anybody. Those who are

interested will come.

 

That's it for the little daily update.

I'll see you tomorrow for day 4. Have fun!

which is a diet that works in the " real world "

there are certain key concepts to know and pitfalls to avoid.
