So I'm going to be honest with you, cleansing is not the easiest thing in the world. But the results are nothing short of amazing which makes it soooo worth it. I always relate it to when I ran the marathon. You hit a wall about 18 miles and it literally feels like you just ran into a BRICK wall and you can’t move! You have to pick yourself up mentally and work through it. Mind over matter at this point. You train and prepare but the last 6 miles of the race are all heart! You just want it so bad nothing will stop you. You set out to run a marathon and you're going to finish! When you cross that finish line it's a feeling like you've never had before! The feeling of accomplishing your goal is so rewarding!! You're so proud of yourself it's worth every bit of struggle along the way. The quote I always like from the marathon is "Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it"
Day 1- During the cleanse you may hit a wall where you think you are starving and tired and can't get through, but you CAN!! That is only a temporary feeling that goes away quickly and most of it is mental. Just tell yourself you are letting your body clean itself and the only way is not overloading it with food! Believe me day 2 is much easier, the stomach shrinks a little each day and you will be so thankful in the morning you stuck with it! You will wake up feeling lighter and more refreshed already.
Day 2- Will go by pretty easy with the smoothies. At night again talk yourself through it. If you can have self control and discipline with your eating, you will in other areas of life too. This is good practice! You are investing in your future by keeping your body healthy and toxin free now. Go for a walk, do some deep breathing, call a friend, or take a hot bath. You can drink decaf herbal tea!
Day 3- This is simple, you are on the home stretch! Drink your smoothies and fill up on water and tea. My favorite Starbucks order when on the cleanse is a Venti double bag red rooibus tea (its caffeine free and a great antioxidant)!
If you're absolutely starving by night time you can have cut up cucumber and celery only! Chew very slowly! Then go to sleep early if still tempted to eat! You will wake up so happy and positive, ready to take on the world with your healthy lean machine! Most people want to keep going because they feel so great that's why I highly recommend a couple days of raw food to ease off the cleanse. It's amazing how your cravings stop and you want to exercise more, it really does jumpstart good health habits!
Ok well this is what I experienced when I did the Skinny Green Smoothie cleanse and cant wait to do it again! I hope you have incredible results too! I will be here along the way for support and encouragement. I just want you to have healthy insides ;) it radiates through the outside when people are clean on the inside.
This is an investment in your health! Maybe one of the best ones you can make:)
