Set Yourself Up For Success!

This is the most difficult, but also the most important part of the process.  Once you get through it, it will be worth it.  This is detox week.  Now, you are probably saying to yourself, "What is a detox week and why is it important?"  Detox week is meant to rid your body of the toxins that you have been putting in there for so long.  Most of the toxins come from highly processed foods that we have come accustomed to eating because we are "too busy" to make a fresh meal.  Most common is microwave dinners, boxed meals, candy...almost anything with a bar code on it.


How are we doing our detox?  We are doing a fruit and vegetable cleanse.  For a minimum of 5 days, up to 7, we are eating strictly vegetables and fruits.  This is going to jump start our weight loss and more importantly our fat loss journey.  This process will cleanse your palate, so you will start craving fresher foods more instead of processed foods, and also cleanse your body.


This is actually my second time doing a cleanse and it was surprisingly easier than the first time.  The most difficult part for me was not having caffeine, which meant no Mochatonix for me.  I felt pretty sluggish the first two days, but after that it wasn't too bad.  It is common to feel sleepy, get headaches and even feel nauseated.  This is because your body is going through withdrawals.  The nice thing, is that it should only last 2-3 days.  Now that it is Friday I am feeling pretty normal and my energy is back without any caffeine.

Have you ever done a detox before?  What did you struggle with?
