Urban Green Girl's first Orange juice
I made it, today is Day glass of 10! Phew I am tired and ready to start eating again. I did my second liver cleanse last night as my naturopath said it would be a good idea and I wanted to do a second one. This morning I passed a few, very tiny liver stones, but almost none I am happy to report. This means that the first liver cleanse I did in July got rid of almost everything and is also a testament to my healthy lifestyle.
Freshly squeezed orange juice
Today at 2pm, I had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice but it was a little hard to swallow at first. One hour later I was feeling stronger and able to drink more.
I made a delicious veggie soup for lunch with carrots, celery, herbs de provence, basil, red lentils and pearl barley. I regret having added the pearl barley though as I don’t think my digestive system was ready for it. I should have kept it more simple, veggie broth and vegetables.
Homemade veggie soup
For supper I had steamed vegetables, brown rice and a little spinach salad. Throughout the day though, I kept drinking the orange juice.
My digestive system doesn’t seem to be handling the food yet though. I think I’m going to keep to soup broth, fruit and orange juice for the next few days. I am craving chewy things though like dried mango and licorice. Overall, I laid low today and watched movies in bed, as I was quite exhausted.
I can say though that my skin does look better following the master cleanse. I’ve read that breaking the fast is almost as important as the fast itself so I’ve decided to do a follow up report in one week when my digestive system should be back to tell you if I reached my objectives and if it was worth drinking the lemonade diet for 10 days!
