diverging a bit from my usual topics to talk about the blueprint cleanse which i just completed. it's a very interesting exercise in self control. and i like to try new things. i would do it again, but not for a while. i wouldn't call it pleasant, but it wasn't awful.i did a 3 day rejuvenation cleanse. that means i drank 6 bottles of fruit / vege juices exclusively for 3 days. no other food. i drank a lot of water in between.
generally, i found that i was not hungry during the cleanse, but i still craved food. it's strange not eating for 3 days. today, i started eating and my jaw was sore after eating a bagel. not chewing for all that time weakens your jaw. who would have thought?
i lost 7 lbs in 3 days. that seems like a lot! but more importantly, i feel healthier. i have lots of energy. and if the eyes are the windows to the soul - than my soul is clean - because my eyeballs are super white.
the major downside is the cleanse is quite expensive ($65 / day in nyc). so each bottle is more than $10! the other downside is that you can't go out with friends for drinks or dinners.
the post cleanse diet is frankly worse than the actual cleanse. while i didn't cheat at all on the cleanse, i'm going to cheat a lot on the post cleanse. pizza here i come. i like pizza.
