So I have been toying with the idea that I would like to do a 100% green smoothie fast for a looong time. Not that I wanted to continue with a green smoothie fast for a long period of time ... just that I have pondered it for months now.
I have the VitaMix ... I LOVE green smoothies.... I work at home so have access to my fridge and blender at all times of the day .... and I have some health concerns that warrant some life style changes.
With the Easter weekend upon us I thought that going into Spring, and having no major holiday distraction to well ..... distract me, that now would be a great time to do this.
I have picked this Saturday April 30th as my start date. I will take this week and get prepared (mentally and physically) by cutting out some of the crap that my body is addicted to. Things like red wine, coffee, pasta, bread, etc and I will eat minimum 85% raw, and start to really focus on fluids, and having at least 2 of my days meals as green smoothies. This should minimize the uncomfortable physical side effects that your body can feel with any detox program.
I will have a large green smoothie every 2 - 3 hours to get the old metabolism up and running. This also cuts the cravings down while your mind settles and becomes happy with all the lovely nutrients you are giving it :) After the initial few days where you are hungry, (perhaps cranky ) and a little tired, it is reported that you (and hopefully me too) becomes quite settled and happy with what you offer the body.
So we shall see just how I feel during this month .... I will use this blog as a journal on this journey .... I hope you will follow along as I share thought, feelings, and recipes (and hopefully some reported health improvements too !!)
Cheers,
B.
