Results

I finished the cleanse and here is what happened. Traveling on the last day wasn't as much of a challenge as I thought it would be.  I packed a bunch of veggies, an apple, 3/4 C sliced strawberries with some beef jerky.  we stopped at Burger King for dinner and I got there garden salad with grilled chicken.  Everything comes separate and you put on what you want.  I didn't use the salad dressing and it was really good.

I never knew salad could taste good without the dressing.  Will I eat it that way from now on, probably not, but at least some of the time I will.

I had an amazing amount of energy and felt really good.  The next couple of days I started eating carbs again and dairy.  At first it hurt my stomach, but it was ok after a day.  The other thing I realized was that a high amount of carbs makes me really tired.

So, what now?  Well, I've gone back to my regular diet with some exceptions.  Those exceptions are I eat more often and I eat within a 1/2 hr of waking up.  I also try to get more protein and less carbs in my diet with more veggies and not as much fruit as I had been eating.
