Cleanse Days 8-12

I'm just back from a weekend away upstate New York. I really enjoy the mountains and can feel all stress leave my body once I get up there. We stayed right outside of Woodstock where I knew they had a fabulous organic juice bar and health food store. It was quite difficult staying on a cleanse and not having my own kitchen, but at least I was able to get juices every day. The first two days I primarily ate fruits, vegetables, salads, smoothies and fresh squeezed juices. On day two I was getting very hungry (without a good protein source again and the nuts weren't doing it) I wound up having a small amount of french fries at a fair because there was nothing else. I had been off of potatoes for the past week, but decided to add them in. I felt fine afterwards and felt as if were okay - I didn't have a hot dog or fair sausage roll. The following day I again was very hungry and finally found a restaurant that served quinoa - YEAH! When my vegetable plate arrived there was about one 1/2 cup of quinoa on the plate. I couldn't believe it, so I asked the waiter if I could order a side order and guess what, he told me no because they often run out of it through the evening. Okay I thought, I am being tested, but I stayed with it.

So my plan for the week is to juice everyday through Thursday and a liver flush tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll post the recipe too. I will be adding beans and fresh fish back in on day 14 (Thursday). I don't think I will go back to eating meat or dairy the way I did in the past. I feel too good to ever want to go back to my old ways. This has been an unbelievable experience for me and I can't wait to share it with my clients.
