My Total Preggo and healthy blog

Ok, day one on the fruit liver/detox fast…  My nutritionist told me I should do these once per quarter to give my body a break from digesting all that protein!  SO- I went to the grocery store yesterday and loaded up on my goodies!  I am planning on a 5 day fast this time, but will be happy with 3.  I am going to see how I am feeling on day 3 to determine if I can make it to the 5th day!!!

Here is what I am doing:

I made a "fruit cocktail" of sorts to eat during the day (yes, I am still staying true to my 6 meals a day)- this is apples (I love fuji ones!), red grapes, blueberries, grapefruit, peaches and nectarines.  I cut them all up and put them in a huge tub.  That way I can just grab a bowl when it is time for my meal. 

Now, for the cleanse part here is what I do:

1 gallon of mix per day- I use filtered water, organic lemon juice (about 1/2 the bottle per gallon), pomegranite juice (about 1/2 bottle per day), 1/2 jar of liquid milk thistle and 1/2 jar of dandilion.  I mix all that up and drink it through out the day.  Yes, you will be peeing every other second, that is ok!  This is to cleanse the liver and remove all the toxins.

If you want to do this, I would highly suggest that you detox the colon first (I do a 10 day cleanse).

So, it is 10am here in H-town and time for my 2nd meal.  I will report tomorrow on day 2.

 Cya!
