(The title of this post should be spoken like Tony the Tiger of Frosted Flakes)
Last week I did a 7 day cleanse and aside from a couple vodka/sodas my last night it went great- (4-5 pounds down and much more energy). This wasn't a strict maple syrup cayenne pepper trend cleanse- I ate real food- it was all clean (not processed). Here's the TOP 3 things I hope will carry forward:
1. BREAKFAST- WOW I can't believe how obvious the benefits are. Pre-cleanse breakfast was a banana or apple once I got to my desk at work. Now- I actually get up and make something. Most days have been a poached egg and dry English muffin. I feel instantly more awake when the alarm goes off, my energy level at work feels higher, and on the weekend my internal alarm gets me out of bed at a decent hour- PLUS I no longer feel the need for a nap :)
2. Snacks- actually scheduling and packing a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack has helped me to not over do lunch or dinner
3. Water- 8-10 glasses a day- hydration never tasted so good, Downside? Allot for extra bathroom trips.
The best part- I did this the 7 days leading up to Halloween... meaning I didn't touch a single sweet... which was a feat at work considering all the food days and candy floating around... No post holiday depression in this girl! Maybe I should repeat for Thanksgiving???? (HAHAHA- that's crazy talk)
