  Today was a bit harder because I was surrounded with people eating food around me at lunch. The smell of cheeseburgers and fries certainly was tempting. Then my family decided they wanted pizza. Pizza is a personal weakness so it was very hard to not have pizza with everyone else. All that aside I made it through day 3 and only 1 more day to go. I am feeling good.

I thought I would share my reflections on the 4 days… If your going to do this diet it helps to have others doing it with you. The idioms ‘misery loves company’ comes to mind with this diet. Find others for support and it will help. This diet does leave you craving protein so be prepared. On the last day I was really craving protein. I was even surfing food sites from craving it. I suggest you use tofu with as many meals as possible. For myself I ended up not being full on the last day. No matter how much I ate my body kept saying feed me. The one thing this cleanse did well for me is … Read entire article »

  Day 4 of the challenge I had the same lunch which was just mixed vegetables and a potato. I couldn’t get full no matter what I eat. So I had some homemade soup. For dinner I had a vegetable and tofu stir fry, a yam and corn on the cob. Total calorie count for this meal is 592… I had a big calorie day even with all these veggies at 1018.
