No headaches for me today, although Dawn has had a monster one, more like a migraine. It really doesn't seem like it's only day 2 as there is so much that I've read and done, plus I seem to have been a permanent fixture in the kitchen! This morning we had the rest of the Berry bake from yesterday and a Green juice, being kale, cucumber, celery and pear. Whilst it looks like Radioactive waste, the taste of the pear is predominant and it is unexpectedly ok.
Lunch is Avocado and Vinaigrette salad, similar to yesterdays evening meal (I used the left over dressing) and a raw carrot ginger soup which was absolutely fantastic in flavour, but all this involved a ton of prep in making the salad as well as making another green juice for the afternoon, cleaning the juicer, making the carrot juice as the base for the soup, washing the juicer, blending the soup, washing the blender... it is a big job and not one that someone could do casually whilst working and having an hour for lunch.
But the food part of the 5 day detox is coming to an end and more liquids are being introduced over the next 3 days before the juice fast begins properly on day 6. Hopefully the downsides of the fast will already have been overcome by then.
Maybe it's just as well. The food portions are huge. I cannot imagine that weight loss would be possible on this detox plan; neither Dawn nor I could manage the Green Detox soup (so we'll have that tomorrow) as the evening meal consisted of Roasted Butternut Squash stuffed with Mushrooms and Herbs. Look - its massive and completely filled us up.
Very tasty though, but extremely difficult for me to resist the girls' Chinese takeaway consisting of Seaweed, BBQ Ribs, Sweet + Sour chicken, Special Fried Rice, Spring Rolls and Prawn Crackers. Normally I would have polished off what leftovers there were, but not today. In fact, I am pleased to say that I dished up the whole lot for them and didn't even lick the spoon.
Well done me.
