It's 8:55 am in the morning, but I felt compelled to write. So today I have started the 10 day herbal cleanse. The first 3 days you have to drink a fiber drink in the morning & take 3 herbal tablets at night. In between, you have to eat extremely healthy & drink tons of water. The reason I am writing is because, as I have written previously, it's been a couple of years since I've taken AdvoCare. Let me tell you - OMG, this fiber drink fills you up immediately. There's no room for breakfast. I mean this literally. I am supposed to eat breakfast & take 2 capsules of OmegaPlex, but I think it's going to have to be more around a late morning snack or early lunch. I mean, it's good because the fiber is supposed to clean out your system, but this should be interesting! I'll post more, just wanted to write down what I am feeling now. Til then...peace!
Ok...I'm back. It's 8:45 pm & I feel pretty good. Here are my thoughts for today:
It actually wasn't so bad. The fiber drink really filled me up all the way through lunch & then some. So I finally ate some breakfast at around 9:33 this morning. All I had was leftover baked chicken leg/thigh without the skin & a cup of broccoli. I was so full, that I couldn't finish the broccoli. What I did was take the remaining broccoli with me as I went to an 11:45 appointment. I ate it on the way there & was full until about 5:30. Now, with all that being said...I definitely need to eat more! I just couldn't. I swear that fiber must have expanded in my stomach & just sat there. Oh & I have to talk about the Omegaplex.
Anyway, not a tough day at all! I even had tea with my friend Leslie after my appointment & still wasn't hungry. Just sipped on a vegan chai tea. Ok, now about OmegaPlex. I didn't know it had fish oil in it - can you say BLECH?!?! Some people can stomach that, but I am not one of them. Since it's not required to use it during the cleanse, then I think that I may discontinue. However, I do have to say that the OP isn't as daunting as it could be - just I can taste it. So I ate chicken again for lunch & dinner. Groundhog day!!! I think I am going to have to try to make a turkey chili or something to break up the monotony. I was also supposed to eat more greens, but that didn't happen. I am glad I don't have plans tomorrow because I can focus better on my diet. Overall energy was good, but I fell asleep around 5ish because I hadn't eaten enough.
Water! Didn't get all that in either!!! But I have taken the horse pills required at night for the cleanse. Will update how I feel tomorrow.
Hugs!
