#1: It was only a ...Thank you for all the feedback!<br />#1: It was only a week long detox. I wouldn't attempt to do anything that severe long term. Five days apparently is my max! :-)<br />#2: I didn't go into this with any meal plan in place. That may have been my downfall. I didn't realize how hungry I would get and hadn't planned for it. In addition, I loathe counting calories at this point and attempt to just go by my bodies natural hunger signals.<br />#3: Caffeeeiinnnne. I have nothing else to say on this matter. Le sigh. So difficult to go without!<br /><br />I don't see your comment as being negative in any way. :-)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676999485807554559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333490823111654356.post-58274964625775616962011-08-21T16:35:04.370-07:002011-08-21T16:35:04.370-07:00I'm currently on a fitness re-commitment and m...I'm currently on a fitness re-commitment and my beau is doing his clinicals in nursing school (he's given me lots of advice)... I have some thoughts, but I am a nobody and most certainly not a doctor.<br /><br />#1. No offense, but I think food detoxes are BS. You have the right to try any sort of anything you want, but I think these sort of extremes set one up to fail.<br />#2. My first inclination when you outlined your plan was "not enough calories". I think you would have felt better if you kicked up the snacks. I've been doing some fruit and something else (a HANDFUL of nuts or a small glass of OJ, for example).<br />#3. I think you need to give yourself a longer period to phase out caffeine. It's a drug. I'd say, realistically, make a 4-week plan (that's what I would do, but I'm fighting other fights at the moment).<br /><br />I'm in no way raining on your parade. I think your plan for your protein and greens (and green smoothies, yum. Kale is amazing in everything, I swear!) was awesome. I'm a vegetarian going on vegan, just for context. <br /><br />What you were trying to do was DIFFICULT, don't be too hard on yourself. :)sarajeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345550722301201489noreply@blogger.com
