i have about 5 days a month when my brain chemistry/hormones are in sync and i’m feeling neither insane nor super sad – i’m day 1 of those 5 days this month so i figured it was the perfect time to try a cleanse. my emotional state can handle a decrease in sugar, dairy and gluten. this way, 4 days from now when I’m off my rocker again, at least i’ll feel less bloated than i would’ve without the cleansing!
the company im using to cleanse is called green and tonic. i heard of them from a listener who called into my show .. and then another listener posted about them on my fb saying the juice/food is yummy.
got to work today and was greeted by my bag of goodies! (not the cupcake kind of goodies but best to have positive outlook when doing these kind of things!)
opened bag to see contents packaged beautifully and ecologically.
in my bag o’plenty, i got 3 juices and 1 nutmilk/day, 1 salad/day, 1 soup/day, 1 energy bar/day, 1 lemon/day and 1 detox tea/day.
and at the end of day 1 i can tell you it is DELICIOUS and DOABLE! and not super low calorie (definitely 1200 plus which is more than i’m used to eating )
have a feeling the energy bar is going to be addictive because i love seeds and dried fruit type stuff. mmmmmm.
dr mark hyman was on my show today (new book blood sugar solution) and he believes cleansing every so often is beneficial to our systems. and i like him! If this does not work for me i’m going to buy garcinia cambogia by Dr Oz, to give that a shot.
wish me luck!
do you ever cleanse?! and if so, drinking/eating what and how often?
I love the blueprint cleanse! Did 6 days in January and have been vegetarian since. Cleaning house is great! Good luck!
max muscle has max lean & cleanse that I like.
Great job. Do you know if they ship the food to other areas, like Pittsburgh?
I don’t know… But email them and ask. If they dont, I think blue print cleanse does.
Dude, whats in that energy bar? Their website doesnt list ingredients! 🙁
Hi Jenny,
Can you update how this is tasting and working for you during the period you try it on your radio show? Cleansing products get a varied approval from serious doctors.
I will be interested in the results and if you would do it as a monthly plan or not.
Best,
Mark
hey mark! i loved it!!!! i would do one every month. they are not unsafe if they are nutritious ones. this one definitely made me feel less bloated. my weight range used to be 2lbs..now sometimes i go up 3. this took me right to the low end of my weight spectrum. i do not recommend any cleanse for someone needing to lose a lot of weight. but for weight management/tinkering… i think they are terrific. i did talk about it on my radio show.
Dr Hyman? oh he needs to be a gyno cause that would be too funny!
Jenny, Have you ever tried hot coffee enemas as a cleanse?
nope. that would make me nervous…
