Evolution Two – week Four
Saturday, June 20, 2009
Hello Folks,
I love the weekends, but they go by so fast! I am currently researching doing a detox program. I don’t want to do anything that will reduce my caloric intake, but I do want to do something that will remove any toxins in my body that are hindering my progress. There is a lot research around toxins in the body and our ability to break down food.
I might gross you out a little, but I have been paying attention to how quickly my food moves through my body; for example I ate beets on Wednesday and noticed my stool color was purple on Friday morning; that means it is taking more than 24 hours for food to move through my system.
I have done detox programs before, but didn’t research it enough and ended up hurting my system more than helping it. I did the famous Lemonade detox, otherwise known as the Master Cleanse. I did it for eight days and I did feel great and it was clearly cleansing because my stool got ugly! The Smooth Move Herbal tea is insane! It made me want to do it again, however, when I went off of it I paid dearly for not doing the research and got acid reflux.
My guess is that I am allergic to things that I am not aware of and just deal with the side effects of those foods. If I knew more about what I was allergic too I bet I would see better results with the foods I choose to eat. After researching more about the food for you blood type...I definitely see a connection. Dairy products have always given me trouble; gas, constipation and running nose. I also seem to react to wheat or is it gluten. Anyway, I may go find out exactly what I am allergic to, it could be helpful in the long run.
I decided to do something like a mono detox, where you eat one type of food a day. I am thinking oat meal and some kind of veggie drink. I will let you know when I get started. It might be the first or second week in July. In the mean time I will keep researching and looking up especially how to come off of a detox program.
Here are the pictures...
