bright idea 150x150 7 Day Body Detox – Day 7 – Centred and Hungry

Bright ideas keep popping into my head

Centred, Clear of Mind, and Hungry

Well, it has been more than a week without protein in the form of red meat, chicken or fish, and I must say that, whilst I do feel somewhat empty in the stomach, I do feel rather hungry as well.  Which sort of goes without saying I guess.  But the most important thing is that I feel very centred in my mind. It is as if all the heavy protein products like red meat, chicken and fish, were clogging up my mind and stopping me from thinking properly.

Body Detox – Day 2

Tired… Not sure if its the two kids or the lack of the kick in the pants you get from coffee, but I feel like I am running on empty.

Part of the detox is no red meat, or eggs as they are supposed to weigh you system down. The detox aims to help clean out you bowel as well so I can see the reasoning behind it, but, meat is a great energy source and I think I am missing it.

7 Day Herbal Body Detox Program

Body Detox – Day 1

The first thing I noticed on the back of the little box of herbal tablets thrust into my hands was the NO CAFFEINE emblazoned across it in large letters. … SIGH … I responded impulsively, but it did no good. I was committed to a detox as per the stipulations haggled out during discussions between my wife and I.

So, this is the way it is to be, and this is what is going to happen. No coffee for a least a week. Continue reading »
