Cleanse Day, Day 3

Breakfast: Cleansing Liquid.
Lunch: Cleansing Liquid
Dinner: Cleansing liquid and a hard boiled egg
Night cap: Cleansing liquid.

Day 3 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Though I did feel hungry I thought I would be very tired and weak. In actuality I have quite a bit of energy, the main problem with today was how delicious just about anything I smelled, smelled. I actually got excited making my lunch for tomorrow.

Today, while staving off my hungry I drank massive amounts of water, probably about the 4L mark, when it's the only thing you're allowed you tend to over do it.

In terms of how my body reacted, It was interesting to listen to the sounds coming from inside my body. Not the Stomach rumbling you would likely expect, but what felt like items moving through the digestive system. I can only assume this was the liquid breaking up some of the garbage inside my system. I also recall feeling very very warm at times during the day, which I suppose could be my body burning off fat and waste. I'm interested to see the scale results after the first week.

Pre-Cleanse, Day 2

Breakfast: Shake
Lunch: Salad with Balsamic Vin. with piece of steak the size of a deck of playing cards
Dinner: Shake

Tomorrow I do my cleanse day, fighting off the craving of food should be interesting, I will likely make it an early night tomorrow based on recommendations.

So far the pre-cleanse has been tough, I'm only taking in about 1400 calories max at the moment, which is almost half of what I'm used to. The shakes are fine, but it will be nice to go back to 2 solid meals per day. I probably could have managed with only 1 pre-cleanse day. The program says pre-cleanse can be 1-4 days long.

The hard part about tomorrow I foresee is the non eating, of course, but also trying to do the exercise as I will likely be weaker than normal.

So far my sleeping patterns have not been alerted but I do get bursts of energy throughout the day unexpectedly. Other than a general want for a big bowl of pasta or some Spare ribs, everything else seems normal.

Pre-Cleanse, Day 1

Day 1 in the bag.

Had a Shake for breakfast
Chicken, roast potato and cauliflower for lunch
and another shake for dinner.
Also had a granola bar as a snack mid day.

I assume this pre-cleanse technique is to slowly reduce your food intake before the cleanse day as you don't get much on that day. The water intake and exercise was no issue, I probably drink about 3L of water a day normally.

One observation; my urine was very bright after both shakes, I assume this is from the nutrients and toxins being expelled by my body.

I will redo my measurements on Day 7.
