Mind over Matter... say whaaaaat?

IF I CAN DO THIS I PROMISE YOU CAN TOO!

Soo over Christmas break I decided to do a cleanse... an all liquid diet. I researched a little but didnt find any that I thought were healthy or that I could do... then on Sunday my friend Kenny told me about one he was doing. I totally jumped on that idea because he has done it before and he said great results occur.

ITS CALLED THE MASTER CLEANSE...

What is that?

Basically in a nutshell its 10 days of a liquid drink and lots of water.

Lemon Juice.Organic grade B Maple syrup.Cayenne pepper.LOTS of Water.

THATS IT!

I drink that about 6-8 times a day, 8 oz servings each.

Theres also a herbal tea laxative, and a salt water broth to drink up.

This is how I felt on Day 1...EXCITED..this isnt so bad

Day 2... I miss food.. slight breakdown..crying..cravings

Day 3...Debating can I really do this?

Day 4...Not hungry, humbled, GREAT!

Day 5??? We shall see!

Something I have learned over the past 4 days is...

Food is such a blessing. My body really is my temple.I can do ANYTHING I put my mind too.

I dont need food like I thought I did. I live in a country with such abundance. I am blessed.Social events revolve around food.

HOW AM I DOING THIS?

Honestly, I have no clue. Obviously the Lord has helped me.But if you were to try to go this long without food you would think you couldnt do it..BUT YOU CAN! Some moments in the day I tell myself that its the end of the world and there has been a nuclear blast.."Krystal, this drink you have is the last of the food for civilization be grateful you have it." Other times I say to myself "Krystal, you are in a village in Africa, this is all you have to eat.. enjoy it" Those help! Or I find great distractions like writing a blog. =)

IS IT HEALTHY AND SAFE?

YES!I wouldnt do it if it wasnt. Lemons are high in potassium,calcium,magnesium,zinc,copper,iron,vitamin C..the list goes on and on.Bet you never thought a lemon could pack such great things did ya?Maple syrup (ORGANIC) gives me my fuel.It has all of the nutrients as the lemon and more KAPOW! Cayenne pepper is a stimulant that raises the metabolism,breaks up mucus, cleans the bronchial tubes/lungs/sinuses etc.

FYI..

Our cells are way polluted.. humans have so many toxins in their bodies and dont even know about it!You might wonder why you feel like crap..cuz you eat it! Yea..sad truth I have learned..BUT WHY do we continue to eat BAD?

Cuz it tastes good. Im speaking for me..

I give into my carnal nature and vices.

But now its time for a renovation!
