Day 4: Well folks, it's been real, but I'm really glad I can eat peanut butter tomorrow! (that has been my one and only craving) The 4 days of nothing but raw fruits, veggies, and decaf teas have surprisingly flown. I would have liked to set my goal for a week, but as a beginner to the detox world, it is recommended to start out slow and steady. As you probably would expect, this was a very mental challenge, but I can genuinely say that the feeling of honest accomplishment was well worth it in the end. I feel fantastic, and now I'm ready to restart my healthy eating habits and hit the gym again. I love setting challenges for myself, there is never a dull moment in doing this and I feel a great sense of personal accomplishment. I would absolutely recommend this detox, especially over any other type of juice, smoothie,or fasting detox, because you at least get to eat. I've heard the cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and maple syrup detox is good, but very intense, perhaps I will try that one next. As a result, some small changes I've noticed in my body have been rapid nail growth, a clearer complex, flatter stomach, lack of sluggishness, regularity, hunger management, and an earned sense of discipline. I never once felt overbearingly sick, nauseous, or devastatingly weak. I will admit that you need to detox during a low activity week, because you have very little energy to spare from your intake. When shopping, buy a variety of fruits and veggies, organic if you can, especially for soft skinned fruits like berries, and drink as much filtered water as possible. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I will use this detox method again!
