1. I sleep an entire eight hours and feel rested.
2. I don't feel weighed down
3. My energy has increased
4. I have noticed some weight loss in my thigh and mid section.
The Cons:
1. Nasty protein drink/ veggie fruit drinks
2. A week long headache
3. Some fatigue at times
I am still taking my vitamins Biotin, E, and a multi-vitamin. I always try to push water with these to get up to eight glasses a day. My skin is clearer, I have a glow, and I noticed that it is also softer than its usual softness. I would say...pliant really. Today, it was really hot, and I noticed that I didn't dehydrate as I normally would before the detox and meal regimen change up.
My hair is loving it. I noticed that it is curling up and looking much healthier. I can't wait to see what I will look like after a month of this. Just cutting meats totally and seafood sometimes has been beneficial. I am not really missing the heavy food and fast foods because I know giving that up will only lead to a better me. I actually prefer only veggies.
I also cut sweets (cookies, ice cream, and etc...) from my diet. I still have cravings, but my body didn't take too well when I scarfed downs some caramel popcorn and nuts. I became pretty ill. So now, I just prefer fruits and fruit smoothies.
Several things that I learned about making my own energy drinks are:
- Use half a banana if you don't like the banana smell. I will over ride every other smell or taste in your drink.
- Honey is an awesome natural sweetener
- There are free smoothie recipes online. There are many really good ones that you can try.
- Adding yogurt is also pretty good. I use plain yogurt and then add ice and my fruit.
- Find something that you like and stick with it.
Well, have to go. Blessings and Peace of Christ.
