I am into day 4 of the spring detox. For me this year it is a change from the usual vegetable juice fasting.
This season I am following a kitchadi cleanse, intended to last for a week. It is very different to actually be chewing during detox time. I am eating Kitchadi (see Recipes on the website or search online) for each meal. The first couple of days I had the rice/mung dal dish 3 times a day. Yesterday that went down to twice, and I had steamed vegetables for dinner. I am going to follow that again today.
During this detox I am taking Milk Thistle tincture 3 times a day, as well as Chelation Pesto twice a day. Add to this a digestive seed mixture after meals, and for snacking, and I am feeling plenty satisfied. Drinking lots of water (about 10 glasses), and drinking warm water with a little maple syrup and half a squeezed lemon, has kept me busy as well.
It is nice to know what I am going to eat. The loss of sugary foods and any sign of caffeine, along with regular eating patterns, has given me a sense of inner calm. I feel grounded, wholesome, clear. All of the other foods can wait a week, or so, or maybe they can wait forever.
A detox calls eating habits and eating choices into the forefront, and provides an opportunity to clear the slate. I was having the laptop fixed and the “Geek” asked if I had taken it back to factory level, had I cleared it out and then started to reprogram again. That is what a spring detox is like. It is an opportunity to take yourself back to your “factory settings”, maybe not as clear as you were at birth, but at least a chance to reprogram eating habits and food choices and how it makes you feel, on every level.
So I invite you to join me on this journey, share with us your experience. More to come on Spring Detox. Keep an eye on the newsletter for May, sign up if you have not already, and invite the newness of spring into your body and your life. Move a little closer to Mother Nature by eating food straight from the Earth for a week!
