11 lbs in 6 Days

Hi everyone. So I successfully completed the 6 Day Detox and I am happy to report I lost 11 lbs! I lost the exact same amount last time...go figure. I feel great and excited to continue with my clean eating and exercise journey. I stopped Chalean for a while, but I've been keeping it up some cardio here and there. I will be restarting Chalean in about a week.

Here is a few of the smoothie recipes:

1 scoop vanilla protein
1 cup blueberries
1 small banana
8 oz water
ice optional

OR

1 scoop vanilla protein
1 cup strawberries
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
ice optional

OR COACH MONNEY'S FAVOURITE
1 scoop vanilla protein
1 small banana
1/4 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 cup sok milk
1/4 cup orange juice

Last time I did the detox, I didn't gain it back. But I ate well, so I have to ensure I eat clean to keep this off and keep losing...

6 Day Detox

Hi everyone. So I contemplated if I should blog about this subject or not. Some people may agree or disagree on the benefits of detoxing but, I decided to blog on this and post my experiences.

Back in October last year, I wanted to jump start my weight loss. I purchased a program that included a 6 day detox. Basically you drink smoothies (made of organic fruits and whey protein) 3 times a day and snack on soup. At the end of the 6 days, I lost 11 lbs! I thought I was going to gain it back, but I didn't..not even one 1lb. I felt great during it, and I had high energy. So I decided to do the detox again. And boy do I really need a cleanse of my liver and colon (sorry).

I started the detox 2 days ago, today is Day 3 and I am happy to report that I've lost 4.2 lbs so far!! I feel great and my bloating has dropped significantly. I am drinking about 1,500 calories a day and taking herbal supplements to aid in the cleansing, so I am not starving myself.

However, I do miss chewing food. I worked out on Sunday and I plan on doing it tonight.

Now if I can follow drinking all my meals for 6 days, why can't I eat clean for 6 days straight??
