So after doing the detox for 3 days (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday)...I lost 8 pounds!!! Yay!!!!! <happy dance>
Ok, I KNOW about 7.5 of those pounds are all water weight, but that's great for me, because I needed to lose that water weight. The past few weeks my rings were tighter and I could feel that my face was puffier...and now I can honestly see and feel a difference only after three days. Plus, I feel like if I could do that I can do anything now. It really felt good to be consuming so many nutrients and antioxidants on a daily basis, that I want to continue to do so.
The following are elements of the detox that I will incorporate daily/weekly:
-Green tea w/ lemon...good detoxifier, metabolism booster, antioxidant rich, small amount of caffeine, and great for overall health.
-Coconut Oil...always heard wonderful things about its benefits, but never tried it until adding it to my smoothies. I will be researching online to find more uses for it!
-Kale...HATED this leafy green superfood as a kid and while I'm still not a fan (yet) I look forward to buying it again and finding tasty recipes to use it in. First recipe will be kale chips with what I have leftover from the detox.
-Ground flaxseed...another thing I've always heard wonderful things about, but alas, never tried. You can sneak this stuff in pretty much anything!
-Almond milk...replacing my regular milk for this stuff...tastes better and better for you! It's a little more expensive, but the grocery store almost always has at least one brand on sale, or a coupon available.
