7 Day detox
Done and dusted!
So because everyone has been asking me on facebook what I am on,
I thought that I would share it all with you...
Some may say that it was a diet, but I hate the word diet!
It's a lifestyle change,
Cleansing the body,
Getting the junk out of my body.
Teaching me to eat more healthily.
This detox is a soup based detox.
You can eat as much as you like but only of certain things.
I found the first few days pretty easy,
With the last three days the hardest.
But I felt great,
Didn't feel bloated, felt fresh and energised.
During the detox I wasn't able to excerise due to my foot injury,
But I still managed to lose 5kgs.
I now have two days break and go back onto the detox on Tuesday.
I actually looking forward to it cause today when getting carbs I kinda felt yuck.
Bring on the fresh fruti and veg!
But first I really want waffles! Naughty I know!
Some pieces of advise given to me that really helped...
*Learn to like the feeling of being hungry and notice the difference between straving and just feeling like something to munch on.
*Keep yourself busy
*Clean out the cardboards and fridge of unhealthly stuff
*Keep a diary so you know why you are doing it and to keep you focused.
*Have a support group
Soup Recipe:
2 Cans of crushed tomatoes
1 Bunch of green spring onions
2 Large cans of Campbell's beef consomme
1 Pkt of vegetable soup mix (dry)
1 Bunch of celery
2 Cans of green beans or 1 pkt of frozen beans (500g)
2 Green Peppers
3 Carrots
2 Beef stock cubes
2 Chicken stock cubes
2 Cups of water
Season with salt, pepper, curry or parsley or hot sauce.
Cut vegies into small to medium pieces, place all ingredients into a pot.
Boli fast for 10 mins, reduce to simmer and continue cooking until very tender.
You can leave soup chunky or blend it to a liquid.
Eat the soup when every you are hungry. You can eat as much of the soup as you like. The soup will add no calories.

Day Two:
All vegetables, eat all fresh, raw and canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy vegetables, stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat veggies along with the soup.
At dinner time reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter.
Don't eat any fruit today.

Eat all the soup, Fruit and veggies you want.
Don't have the baked potato.
