Detox

My detox has been going well but I've cheated so I'm starting from square one.. This time I'm not doing a strict liquid diet. I've decided that just won't work for me. I'm now going to detox on a 30 day veggie diet and lots of water with benefiber. It's still not the healthiest but I need to have my digestive system start over. I've been in a lot of pain just from cheating so I'll really have to stick to this.

So far..

So far, so good. I'm doing the detox as I wanted and I already feel better. I really needed to get these toxins out of my body. I recently read an article on yahoo.com  that was really great.

These tips I agree with completely!

It's been awhile..

I was advised by my doctor to try eating gluten again along with meat and dairy. This was not good advise and feel stupid for taking it. It has been a total shock to my system and I feel like crap. I don't care if the doctor thinks I'm missing nutrients from not eating certain foods. I take vitamins and supplements. Before I was losing weight and felt really good about my diet. I have gained weight and I'm horribly sluggish. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm starting over with a much stricter diet and I'm adding a strict workout plan as well. I am making my diet and exercise very simplified so I don't have to think about it.
I'm first going to go on a liquid detox for a week. I have a juicer and I know how to make great protein shakes so I shouldn't have an issue flushing out all the gluten and animal products from my system.

Diet:
Breakfast-
8oz rice cereal, 4oz raisins, green tea (skin hair & nails vitamin, ginko biloba, B12, Calcium+D)
Morning Snack-
V8 juice+benefiber (Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM)
Lunch-
soy protien shake w/ fresh fruit juice (skin hair & nails vitamin)
Afternoon Snack-
Raw Veggies (Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM)
Dinner-
Curried Tofu, rice or quinoa, green salad (skin hair & nails vitamin)
Before bed-
Smooth move tea + melatonin

As for exercise:
Mornings 7 days a week> 30 min - 1 hr Jog
Nights 7 days a week> 30min-2hr Workout Video

This should be simple and easy to stick to :) Wish me Luck on my detox! I'll post more to keep you updated.
