Day 4 - All Juiced Up!

Day 4 

So i woke up today full of energy which was a brilliant feeling after Day 3's downer. 
Started the day off with half a juiced lemon and some warm water followed by a pint of veg containing a mixtures of greens. 

After work i would honestly say i had more energy left than a day of eating "normal" food. I've also felt a lot more relaxed, focused and positive. 
I even tried to convince a girl on my lunch break to give it a go....i was met with the typical response of "what's the point? its not normal" while she was consuming a large chocolate mousse manufactured in a factory with copious amounts of chemicals and E-Numbers!!! but she did give my juice a try and was surprised by the nice taste. 

The thing people seem to not understand is that is ISNT a fast, im having the equivalent of way more nutrients than the standard person would get from a daily intake of food. Juicing just takes the hard work away from your digestive system for a bit and lets it process the pure good stuff. 
(Not that people really want to know but ive been going to the toilet maybe once every two days so far) but ive been weeing a huge amount more, i drink a lot of green tea and water throughout the day and the headaches are now nearly gone but are a very common side effect from a detox in fact is a sign its working. 

"Specifically, the first few days of detox diets, headaches are very common symptom. In fact, a large percentage of people who go on detox diets believe that they get headaches the first few days are due in part to withdrawal from addictive elements in our diet. The first few days of detox diets are quite dramatic transition for most people and they are going "cold turkey" on many things they are accustomed to eat and drink regularly. Although these foods in many cases are not considered "drugs" is still pulling effect when we are not getting these items in our system you will probably experience a part of the withdrawal effect."


So after work i realised its time to stock up on more vegetables. Half way through day 4 and the box is almost empty so i got enough to take me to Sunday night. 

(Day 4 at 14:00...not a lot left) 


(Day 4 at 14:30.....A refill to last till Sunday) 

Overall today was a very good day, surplus energy and over the halfway mark now.
Much love and Happy Valentines day (For tomorrow)
