I kept putting off my spring DetoX
I looked up and it was summer. I was sluggish, stomach bloated, gaseous, allergies flaring up, and I had a headache. I knew DetoX would solve those issues so I started--middle of the day, no lemons, and a 400 mile drive coming up.
Day 0
Usually this is a preparation day. I make the lemonade, make the tea, and drink 1/2 cup before bed. This time my objective was simply getting started. I made the tea at about 1pm, drank 1/2 cup, drank a lot of water (no lemons), nibbled at dinner, and had another 1/2 cup DetoX before bedtime.
Day 1
Bunch of bowel movements early (odorless, floating). No lemonade so I drank 1 1/2 quarts of water then 1/2 cup of DetoX. Felt sluggish all day and a little hungry in the evening so I ate some cherries. I think hunger and fatigue were due to the absence of lemonade. drank 2nd 1/2 cup before bed. No sneezing. No headache.
Day 2
Bowel movements sank to bottom of the toilet (dark mucous with a metallic odor). Again drank six cups of water before morning DetoX. bought lemons and made 2 quarts of lemonade which I drank before evening detox. No hunger, no headache, sneezed once, stomach noticeably flatter, and less fatigue.
Day 3
Bowel movements less frequent but still sink (yellow with a milder odor). Drank the 6 cups of water before DetoX (I'm starting to like that ritual). Drank 1 quart of vegetable juice and began my transition to solid food with watermelon and tomato soup. The only reason I'm not continuing with DetoX is a 400 mile drive to chicago tomorrow.
