Since Saturday I have been going through a spell of recognizing that I need to detox my body, as well as, my soul. I have felt in recent weeks a sense of disconnect from my spiritual soul as well as my body. I guess for my body, it has been years, since after having my second child, then with my family moving cross country in 2010 from California to South Carolina, my body went through a lot of changes so taking care of myself started to take priority in 2012 after my near death experience.
I have to say that I have really never done a full detox, but at the same time I don't worry about my body because I recognize that everything isn't real and I just don't worry, because of my faith in God and that my creator, which we all are a singularity of, will take care of me. With that said, I also recognize that what I am experiencing is what my soul wants to go through. With that being said I don't live in fear of what I put in my mouth.
So last week I had decided that I needed to do a detox of my whole body. I am not one of those people who will detox for weeks. My body can't sustain that type of detoxing because I am hypoglycemic. So on Saturday I decided to do all fluid expect the occasional food, which I have chosen to eat Chipolte food for the last two days, with my portion sizes being not so big. Let's me just say that I took 2 burritos with chicken, veggies, sour cream, cheese, pinto beans (which I am not a bean fan), and hot sauce last me for two days. I didn't eat all of the second one for that was my husbands. I portion controlled them and I felt full.
So for the last two days I have drunk green juice the first thing when I wake up, I eat a little burrito, I drink a lot of water, green tea, and skin detox tea, and if I feel hungry I eat some blueberries or kiwi or I just drink more green juice. So far it has went well, but another goal I want to achieve in this process is to cut out bread. Yes, I know that tortillas are wheat but that is my expection, but with sandwich bread, hamburger buns, biscuits, and anything else related to the bread family I am cutting out.
Why you ask? I just feel the need to do so. I feel like my body is going through these changes and this is needed for my body. It isn't a cake walk I can tell you that, but making small changes over a long period of time will help me in the long run to not want bread anymore.
Over the last 3 years I have cut many foods from my diet, not because I had to, but because they made me sick. When I become sick from a food, it means that my body can't handle what is in the food and so my body has to release whatever is in them and it makes me real nauseous. I will also develop heart burn so the foods I eat are very limited at this point.
Today my plan is to continue the juices and teas, but I am adding a chicken on a salad with a little ranch dressing, and portioned control burrito. I will be doing this detox till Saturday and I am already starting to notice a somewhat difference.
I always tell people do what you feel is right for you. This may not be ideal for everyone but if you can detox by taking a hot shower, or going swimming in the ocean or doing a liquid diet for a few days, or just eating healthier then do it. There is no wrong way of detoxing, unless you do it for weeks on end and that will be very bad. Your body needs nutrients. So if you can drink tea or green juice with fresh fish, chicken, pork, or beef then go ahead. If your a vegan this would hurt you to do as well. Take time to detox your body you will feel good that you did so.
