Cleanses and detoxes have been the talk of the town (every town!) for
years now, I wanted to finally find out what the hype was all about. I
had never done a cleanse, and couldn’t wait to give it a try. The
experience was excellent, though started out a bit bumpy. I tried the
“LOVE FAST” cleanse. For the first few days I experienced headaches,
mood swings and bad skin. It was my body’s way of saying that I was
literally going through a detox by expunging all the leftover food
debris that has been sitting in my system for heaven knows how long.
Once I got through the initial tough detoxing phase, I felt amazing
(around day 3). I shed more than several extra unneeded pounds and my
skin was sparkling. I actually looked prettier and my skin was brighter.
Even the whites of my eyes and my teeth were whiter. I generally looked
healthier, incredible!
But it wasn’t just that…I seemed to feel better emotionally. I’ll be
honest I was feeling a little bit down before I started the cleanse.
Fatigued and a little bit depressed, but by day 3 I suddenly felt less
sluggish, less anxious and my energy level was through the roof. I not
only looked better, but emotionally felt happier with this certain
mental clarity that I can’t put my finger on. I really wasn’t expecting
these kinds of results, not in the slightest.
A typical day would start out with a health shot in the morning (pure
aloe vera juice, for instance), followed by fresh pressed grapefruit
juice for breakfast, watermelon juice for lunch, a raw vegan salad for a
solid lunch and then a plethora of delicious and super healthy fruit
and vegetable juices throughout the day ending with a last juice around
7pm.
Love Fast taught me the importance of being conscious of what I put
in my body. I mean really…If doing a cleanse and eating right can make
me feel this much better I’m SOLD! I’ve always known that “we are what
we eat” and that what we put in our bodies is important, but I had no
clue that the ends to the means could be this beneficial.
I was a little bit worried that when the cleanse was over that I
would feel lost as to how to start eating, and after the cleanse was
over I felt very picky as to what I was going to start eating. So in
continuing with a heath eating regimen I found that Organic Avenue
offered all the health food and drink that you need to continue on a
clean path long after you finish your cleanse. There are stores located
throughout Manhattan so you can easily access all the same components
that you used during your cleanse. If you don’t live in the city,
Organic Avenue ships nationwide. Many thanks to Organic Avenue for heading me in the direction of health.
