Cleanse/Detox Diet - Day 7 (Oops! Forgot to post)

So it's over a month later and I just realized I never posted day 7. Thankfully, I kept my written notes from the time.

So, I did sleep "some" better, but not much. The number on the scale is headed back in the right direction this morning, but not a huge loss.

The 30 minute workout today felt "ok." Got a busy day ahead so let's see what happens.

Actually the energy held up pretty good throughout the day. Chicken and salad again for dinner. I will confess, I had a couple of Oreo's tonight.

So Phase 1 of this system is over, here are some of the pros and cons of my week.

Pros:
  • Had no caffeine all week. Can't remember the last time that happened.
  • I did lose some weight, but not quite as much as I would have liked.
Cons:
  • The meal replacement shakes were just awful!!!
  • My energy level stayed low throughout the whole week.
  • Even though I had no energy, I couldn't sleep well at night.
There is a phase 2 of this "system." I guess I will give it a little bit of time, since there are no more of the meal replacement shakes required. But, I will not be recommending this particular product to my patients (and probably not even my enemies).
