Spring time means spring cleaning, & not just our closets but also our diets & habits to prepare ourselves for the summer. I just finished a week long detox/cleanse by Natural Factors called RevitalX & Detoxitech 7 Day Nutritional Cleansing Program.

I have never done a cleanse before and I’ve always been curious and wanting to do one but I didn’t know how I’d be able to not eat food (I love food way too much). Well this one was surprisingly easy, you’re allowed to eat during the cleanse, mainly raw/whole foods such as organic veggies, nuts, chicken, salmon, etc. The first 3 days were hell, I got sick, I was nauseous, dizzy, headaches. But afterward it was kinda  a breeze, I didn’t really crave any food as much as I thought, I wasn’t starving like I thought I’d be. Towards the end I started really missing carbs & sweets but stuck it out. I weighed myself today and I lost a total of 6.2 lbs, great for kick-start. Next is trying to maintain the healthy eating, I’m going to be sticking to Eating Clean and packing my lunches everyday for work.

Today my menu consists of:

Whole-wheat toast with 1% cottage cheese for breakfast. Apple, flaxseed, oatmeal & raisin muffin for mid-morning snack. Prawns with homemade cocktail sauce and veggies & homemade tofu-curry dip for lunch. A pear for mid-afternoon snack & a whole bunch of water.

Next is getting back to the gym on my lunchbreaks & trying to get back into boxing.

What is your best way to get back to health and/or to prepare for the summer?
