Re: *After The Cleanse*
Oh my gosh I love you. Simple words chalked full of simplicity with the simple "TRUTH". Nice, nice and nice....but keeping it simple and real is what it's all about. The more you can make yourself from all organic ingredients, or eat a place where you know the ingredients and integrity of preparation, the better off you will be.

Re: *After The Cleanse*
Although I still have 5 more days to go reading this has made me feel less hopeless-right after the last Mc i was confused as to what to actually eat i started strong and then over time got sloppy ...this created a feeling of what's the pt !? -&of course from everywhere people started giving me suggestions w/out me even asking..i think part of how i ended up so toxic this time was i gave up trying& contented myself w/ the fact that@ least i had cut the amt of coffee in 1/2& cut out all cheese about 75%.
So @ this mo. i am feeling better even though i am tired of not eating and have a terrible metal taste in my mouth thankyou to all of you who continue to contribute - getting me though one more dayCitrusB
Re: *After The Cleanse*
Thankyou so much for all who contributed to this thread- I was feeling a little frustrated as to what to do after the cleanse& my last one I had such strong convictions and fell so short of them- reading these has given me some renewed purpose in making sure before the cleanse is over to have a plan in place. Thankyou so much for the great information/strong suggestions it really helped to keep me on track& to get me thru more day/CitrusB
Re: *After The Cleanse*
Citrus: I hear ya. I was the same way. It actually wasn't until the "30 day challenge" thread that I started to get it. I hope you take a peek. This doesn't mean you HAVE to stay all raw. It does however take the guesswork out of what to eat for 30 days and during that time all the puzzle pieces fall into place.
Love,

Happy Monday!
So I started eating solid food on Saturday after 25 days w/o. An apple, some grapes, and celery was all I could eat. Funny how half an apple made me full! It seemed ridiculous, but I listened to my body and didn't over eat. I've actually lost another 3 lbs in the 3 days since I ended my MCI found that fruit is actually too sweet and I prefer veggies right now, so I'm going to stick with that as long as I can. I usually have quite a sweet tooth. I was looking forward to eating dates, but celery, cucumbers, and nuts sound more appetizing!
I've been taking my probiotics too. I bought a Kombucha Synergy drink yesterday. All raw, organic goodness. It's chalk full of probiotics and amino acids and not too sweet at all! Kinda pricey--16oz for $3.50, but then a friend at work pointed out what I had been paying 2-3 times a week for an organic cappucino at Starbucks--duh! What a better investment the Kombucha is!!
About probiotics, I'm planning to take them everyday for the next month (I'll also be 100% raw!), but after that should I keep taking them? I trust their importance, but is it something you need to take all the time?

Re: *After The Cleanse*
Okay I'm technically not done with the cleanse yet but I will be soon! Tomorrow I start the orange juice. I can't wait. I've been getting awful hungry. I know I could drink more lemonades but I just want different tastes at this point. I crave good foods at least.
Anyway I'm switching over to this board now.
Re: *After The Cleanse*
Today is day Ten for me but I am going to extend it for a couple of more days. After breaking my fast I would like to continue the raw diet. I look through a lot of raw cookbooks and recipes on site but the only problem i am having is finding some of the ingredients. Is anyone out there from Philadelphia? Can you suggest some possible places to find these(tahini, shoyu, agave nectar, dulse flakes/ powder, etc....) ingredients?
Re: *After The Cleanse*
I don't know about dules flakes / powder but whole foods sells a lot of that stuff, and their site says there is one (or two?) in philadelphia.Originally Posted by babsy
Re: *After The Cleanse*
Here goes my first sip of OJ!
.... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
I can get used to this ^_^
Re: *After The Cleanse*
I had read different opinions about when to take the probiotics after the cleanse... some said right away... others said to wait until eating solid food as to avoid an upset stomach.
I decided I wanted to take them the first day off the cleanse, even if it meant I would get stomach pains. I took it at half dose (1 pill) with my orange juice in the morning and so far no pain at all... no gas, nothing. I'm going to take it at half dose until I can start eating normally in a day or so.
I'm amazed how much energy the orange juice is giving me! I only had two glasses so far today (I woke up around 10 am and its 6 now), and I feel fine. I've been making lots of stuff in my dehyrator... almond butter, an almond cinnamon banana spice loaf, and some no-wheat thins that I'm trying to make taste nacho-y. We'll see how it all turns out... was mostly spur of the moment stuff cause I can't wait to eat.
So far so good.
Oh. And I was surprised / happy to see that it only takes two oranges for one 8 oz glass of OJ.
