Going into day 3 of the Detox/fasting course
Day 1: My introduction into fasting
Day 2: a cup of tea?
Just a short recap. I have been doing al right on this course and there have been no weird side effects that some others have apart from being a little more tired so I am very happy about that.
In total I have lost 3kg so far and i am 188cm and was 88kg (So I am definitely not overweight even though my perfect weight would be 82) . I have to say I am also happy with that of course, losing the winter reserves that easily wasn't expected.
But yesterday was also hard. We were invited to the 1st birthday party of the daughter of friends of ours. We had already agreed to go before deciding on doing this course. So as you can imagine this was pure torture. People trying to get us to dring champagne or beer, wanting to feed us cake, waffles, BBQ etc.
We managed to stay 2 hours but then had to flee before succumbing to the temptation of all that food.
I am glad we did not give in though.
So everyday we do not only drink tea but we also have a green smoothy. The whole point of fasting is to not have solid foods for a certain amount of time to give the colon and stomach a resting period and to cleanse out all the toxins.
For that reason I would like to pass on our smoothy recipes we used so far:
smoothy 1
Smoothy 2
Chuck all of that into a blender, add a glass of water and let it rip. If its to thick then just add more water
These are just suggestions but you can get creative and add stuff that you have in your fridge or garden.
I guess these are also good if you just want to skip a meal once in a while and personally I prefer them to the just fruity sweet ones. The green ones just taste more healthy
Do you drink smoothies regularly?
Have you ever tried adding your own picked herbs?
Let me know if you tried one.
