The detox is done… now where is the chocolate??
Ha ha ha just kidding about the chocolate part! Yesterday was the last day of my lovely detox…thank goodness!!!!
I did the Jay Robb 3-day detox for the 2nd time this year only this time I did a few of my own modifications.. I do not recommend making any changes if you do the detox for the 1st time… but I am going to push my luck and say if you can master it the 1st time..you are a pro. Therefore… I am a pro..so I can make modifications. (Okay so maybe its my own justification but it works for me)
I made the following modifications:
1) I continued to use Lipo6x supplement on the detox (typically no caffeine or additional supplements are suppose to be used on this particular detox)
2) On day 2 I started my meals much earlier then usual (due to being up with a sick puppy) and found myself absolutley starving at 8 pm- and I ate an extra banana so I had 6 servings of fruit instead of 5..so what! Its only fruit!!! I was basically bordering giving up and giving in and knew if I didnt eat that banana I would…so I ate it!
3) Day 3- last meal. I proclaimed myself finished with the detox after my last serving of fruit yesterday- BUT I have great reasons… The reason I did this detox wasn’t truly to "detox" in the sense you would think but rather to re-set my taste buds and my eating habits before going into my cut diet (started today)…so I figured… I would have a 1 last carb heavy meal before going into new forms of "extreme dieting" (I think they should make that a tv show…they have shows with people eating gross bugs…why not! (thats for another blog though)). I still didn’t do too bad. I had a thai peanut wrap thing I made at home… essentially a low carb whole wheat wrap with 2 tbsp all natural/unsalted peanut butter (Adams)- matchstick carrots, fresh greens, cilantro and grilled chicken. YUM YUM YUM
All in all my goals for the detox were achieved. I managed to re-set my taste buds, and re-find my eating focus and today I am going right into my cut diet. I have succeeded… and that my dear is FABULOUS!
Have a great day!
