I’m a follower of Dr Junger the author of Clean: The Revolutionary Program To Restore The Body’s Natural Ability To Heal Itself. And this week I received his email newsletter that talks about the big three – sugar, caffeine and alcohol. I love his ability to communicate that these…

Feeling it!

I'm feeling what the Clean Program seems to call 'symptoms'. I've got an enormous headache, I'm tired and stuffy...nut this is apparently all a part of the detox. It's the toxins in my body rising to the surface. Well, I can't wait to get rid of them. On the plus side, I'm not hungry. Not even a bit. I even had a small dinner of some broths soup tonight (after a bigger lunch and late snack, I might add for those who are afraid I'm starving myself). I'm also craving more interesting food at this point. Well, and French fries. And wine...not for the stress relief but for the ritual of it, which is telling. Anyway, the headache is really getting to me. Just wanted to share more about my experience. Another plus? I do think that my skin is a smidge glowy. :)

The cravings have started...cleanse update

I'm definitely beginning to crave wine, sweets, and solid food after lunch. Right now, in Day 4, I'm not really seeing the benefits quite yet. I'm low on energy (but this could be the running around and teacher training), I'm stuffy (which is a common detox side effect apparently), and even if I'm not hungry I'm dying for red wine and pizza to soothe my tired, frazzled nerves. But I guess that's what is interesting about all this. I'm acutely aware that I'm not hungry, so it's really obvious that in daily life, I'm soothing myself with food and drink. Like the pamphlets in this say, things become very obvious when you're paying attention to your symptoms. Now I just wish I didn't feel so zapped of energy.
