I still have a slight headache today. No big deal. According to the scale this morning I am down 6.2#! That’s exciting, but I still don’t believe it. I will believe it if it keeps up for a few more days. I feel a lot lighter though. I have had a ton of energy the past 2 days which is different than how I had been feeling! Today I keep feeling warm almost like I have a fever. I don’t know if that’s a coincidence or from the detox?

Day 2

DAY 2

BREAKFAST

2 organic eggs cooked in 1 tsp olive oil
1 orange
1 apple
1 cup detox tea
Psyllium Husks
Water

LUNCH

Blackened Salmon
Large Green Salad
Olive Oil and balsamic

DINNER

Detox Artichoke Soup with chopped cilantro

Today I am a little worried because I have to eat lunch out at a restaurant for work. I looked at the menu ahead of time and the best I could find was salmon with salad. Hopefully it doesn’t have a negative effect on my detox. So far I think it’s going pretty good. I had a headache last night and this morning, which could be from the caffeine withdrawal. Hopefully after the detox is over I won’t feel like I need caffeine anymore. Although, I would be a little sad to give up my morning cup of coffee. According to the scale I had lost 3 pounds in 1 day! I don’t know if I trust that or not, but it was good to see for a little motivation.

Detox

I have decided to do a 10 day detox. I just feel tried and sluggish all the time and I am hoping that this will help! It’s basically the “Fast Track Detox” except that I am only doing it for 10 days instead of 11 (was supposed to start it yesterday but woke up with a terrible headache and needed my coffee). It’s basically going to be 6 days of tons of fruit, veggies, lean protein and water water water. Then it’s 1 day of pure cranberry juice followed by 3 more days that are the same as the first 6 days except I will also be eating plain yogurt with probiotics (I am using Kefir). I hope that at the end of the 10 days I will be reenergized & cleaned out, hopefully lost a few pounds and be ready to get back on with a healthy vegan lifestyle.

Day 1 Menu

BREAKFAST
1 Apple, 1 Orange, 2 sugar plums (I am eating these about 1 fruit every hour)
2 cups water
1 cup Yogi Detox Tea
Psyllium Husks

LUNCH
1 baby head of red leaf lettuce
6 mini sweet peppers
¼ c cilantro
¼ cup fresh Vidalia onion salsa
1 hardboiled organic egg
2 tbsp homemade vinaigrette (olive oil, lime juice, S&P, Minced Garlic)

DINNER
1 large piece of wild caught sockeye salmon
2 cups roasted Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, S&P

I will update each day with my menu, weight loss and any signs that I have that the detox is actually working!!!
