Detox-Day 7
Day 7. So I’m not craving much of anything anymore. For a couple days now. But I do get thirsty a lot more often – that’s always what happens when I start drinking more. Energy is still up, even though I had only 5 hours of sleep last night, and no headache. All from the detox? No clue. Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 2 and Dad and I will get on the scale and do a more indepth analysis of our progress.
What I ate today:
- How water and lemon
- Yoghurt, bananas, almonds, a little ginger, and honey
- Green tea with lots of fresh mint
- Tajine and zucchini/ricotta sticks
- Spicy dahl with yoghurt and cumin brown rice – yumm
Exercise:
- none today – still planning on starting on Monday…next Monday instead of today.
How I feel:
Still more energetic than before.
What I miss:
Nothing really – happy camper :0)

Hi Sonia,
I am too planning to go for this Detox…. you didnt post after 7 days?
Hi Manish,
Sorry for the late reply, I haven’t been up-to-date with my blog recently, as you can tell by the 7 day only post of the detox. That time I only lasted 10 days on the detox, not because it was hard, but because family came to stay over and it was hard to keep up the routine with others around.
I did try the detox again a couple of months ago, and I did the 3 weeks plus 3 weeks of maintenance. Here are the results in a nutshell:
I felt good, but no glow.
-10 lbs weight loss
-Energy levels up – noticeable, especially waking up in the morning. No more grogginess
-Craving of bread basically disappeared (I’m a breadaholic)
-No feelings of bloating, discomfort etc. Also reduced cramp pain.
-Negatives – I kept waiting for a glow that is promised by the detox…i didn’t get one even though I wasn’t cheating. People were not commenting on how great I looked. Some others I spoke to said you only notice this dramatic glow if you were in very bad shape to begin with….that’s not what the book promises. I still wanted my glow
Overall I was happy with the results and I plan to do it again because it gets me used to eating without bread, which is my biggest vice.
I’d love to know how you’re doing/did on the detox and what your results are – keep us updated!!
Thanks for the note – Sonia
