Spring Cleaning: Detoxing My Body, My Life

It’s been a while. I had been too busy to write a post, though I’ve recently gotten a bit more active on Instagram. May is even busier, and going into June I will be here and there, and everywhere. So I figured I’d fit in a quick one before two more months pass.

A year back, I was so caught up in the hype of my weight loss that I forgot to share that one of the major reasons the weight was able to melt off (it wasn’t possible before no matter how hard I worked out and controlled my diet), was that I went through a 7-day elimination detox and rejuvenation program — twice.

It’s important to note that I have fluctuated between 68kg – 71kg depending on my dietary habits and activity level over the past 6 months. I was going through a rollercoaster ride with a life challenge, and must admit I indulged in foods I liked while I was on holiday. However, I thank God I didn’t wake up back at 85 kg when I realized some battles are better left to, well, God.

Now it’s a year later, and I’m at the end of my 2nd day detox while writing this post. This time around, my body reacted a lot faster, possibly due to the fact that my body isn’t quite as toxic as it was a year back.

Carrots and carrot juice

DAY 1
My healing reactions happened mostly in the first day, with aches on the left side of my neck, sudden itching on my face, and waking up in the middle of the night because I felt uneasy.

DAY 2
Today though, things moved into the emotional as my body goes through the process of resetting itself. The general malaise from the sudden change of diet makes me feel a little less like myself, and a little more like what I imagine someone would feel on 10 cups of coffee a day while running on 2 hours of sleep the night before. I feel wired but tired.

This feeling is not new. I felt this way on both my detoxes last year too, but to be honest I forgot how that felt like until today. I was also a little paranoid in a hypochondriac way for part of the day, because I just felt so insecure about what was happening and wanted to make sure they weren’t signs of trouble.

But today, the stiffness in my joints are completely gone. My limbs are pliable, my usually dry-skin has retained it’s moisture from the 15 drinks I have a day, and the annoyingly stiff nose I’m super aware of has gone softer. It sounds ridiculous that I notice stupid things like these, but they’re incredibly annoying to breath through a nose that feels like it’s made of rubber – when it isn’t.

I have no idea what causes that, but I know the detox changes things on the cellular level as I flood it with raw juices and have my glutathione production go up by 600%, using a method I’d prefer not to plaster all over the internet. If you want to know, you can write me.

My smile lines have dimished from view, and my skin is so hydrated – but I feel a little vulnerable. Like a carnivore who has had all her teeth pulled out, and made to go on liquid and baby food diet.

But I know, as I have experienced in the past, that good things come to those who wait patiently with positive expectation.

So bring it on DAY 3!
