3 weeks post cleanse

It's been 3 week since I completed my cleanse. So how am I feeling?? GREAT! I've continued with many of the eating habits I created while cleansing. I can still say that I don't have any cravings for cakes and candies. Yes, I do crave sweets, but I am satisfied with healthy alternatives like fruit, teas with raw honey, dark chocolate and sweet vegetables. I added animal protein back in, but am eating about 1/2 the amount of animal protein that I was eating before. Some days I am eating 100% vegetarian and other days I'll have a small piece of fish, chicken, turkey or beef. I do still enjoy the taste of the meat, but have a new found understanding of my body and what it really requires on a day to day basis to feel good. I am still staying away from dairy products primarily because of their association with eczema and also because after much research I don't believe we are meant to be consuming dairy the way we do today. Everything in moderation - eventually I will add some dairy back into my diet, but most likely it will be an occasional treat.

My goals for the week are to drink more water since I've noticed myself slipping over the past few weeks and to start juicing again.

In health and happiness!
