Starting today i will try to write up meal plans or rather what i have eaten more than what i plan to eat. Chances are this will be more than i plan to eat in the near future as i am studying for exams at the moment so i really need to keep energised and not miss out on anything for the sake of weight loss. I am pleased that i can see that my exams are more important than losing weight :)
After my exams i intend to start the lemonade master cleanse. I have been reading up on it - properly not just through the internet and feel that it would really benefit me. I am doing it mostly to detox. I suffer with acne and dry skin and terrible folliculitis which nothing seems to shift- another reason i like my body well covered. I also have terrible problems with my back which i never thought it would help but according to the book i am reading the guy who wrote it had terrible sciatica and now feels no pain from it! So i am pretty optimistic. Even if it turns out to be a major exaggeration or whatever i feel i would like to detox anyway as i eat a lot of carbs. White bread is probably one of the only bad things in my diet as i'm vegan already but i do eat a lot of it and probably more sugar than i ought to. I am not doing it primarily for weight loss as i do expect an weigh lost to return (it's usually only water weight you lose) but i think that any initial drop would help to spur me on.
I would really like to know if anyone has had good/bad experiences with the master cleanse detox. I have tried a number of times to start it but always only lasted a day or two or somehow convinced myself that it's fine if i drink the mixture but have a few slices of toast! I know this is ridiculous and reading the book has helped me to fully understand how and why the process works. I will let you know the author before i start the detox as i'm not sure where it is. I chose not to buy the original by Stanley Burroughs as i felt the newer one would have more information about how to cope with modern life while on the cleanse and have useful case studies to learn from.
