The last six or so weeks have really been pretty amazing to me. When I started working with my nutritionist, I never imagined eating lots of fruits and vegetables every day. I’d say that in the past six weeks, I’ve eaten more vegetables and fruits than I have in my entire life combined. And today I ate more fruits and veggies than ever! Pretty crazy eh? It’s also great that finally I think I am making good progress – and the journey really begins now.
One of the things I’ve talked about in my nutritional sessions lately is joining “Cleanse America“. This is a movement to get people to eat raw foods for 10 days during a “cleanse”. The first phase begins tomorrow, April 9. The program costs $25 and gets you three-months of access to the community site. The Cleanse America site explains that the $25 includes exclusive videos from the experts, cleansing guide, a recipe book with over 80 recipes for raw food and liquids. I can’t provide a review of the actual site because, as I note below, I will be joining the program with the next phase which starts in three months.
The site also is a social network (I think it is ning powered) where you can post photos and videos and ask questions.
I think they would get more participation if the community site was open for free to the public. Lock down the videos, the recipe books, etc. is fine but I think having more interaction would help with signups and with support for those doing the cleanse.
I have decided not to do this phase fully because I still think my body needs the chicken. So this time I will be doing the following which is pretty dang close especially considering a year ago two of my daily meals were fast food crap!:
- Breakfast – smoothie with fruit and spinach
- Lunch – big salad
- Dinner – chicken dish with vegetables
I am going to check out a co-op tomorrow for the first time to get stocked up for the week. I definitely plan to do the next phase which begins in three months.
