Today has been very positive for me. My hunger has almost completely subsided and it's 7:30pm and I've only had 3 x 300ml lemonades and think I will actually struggle to drink all 6 which is amazing considering how desperate i was for them on the first 3 days. Although once again this is probably due to how much i hate the stuff now..... I am so excited for that veggie broth it's unreal!
It's weird but my mind is still on autopilot and I'll start deciding what to have for my dinner before remembering that there won't be any. I think my food habits are just so engrained that it will take much longer than 5 days to change them.
Also feeling good because it's the half way point which means there's no giving up now the end is in sight. I'm looking forward to the weekend but think it will be quite hard to go back to work on Monday and still be on the lemonade but I know that I can do it.
I'm thinking a lot about my food habits post cleanse. I've been vegan for a few months and vegetarian for years but I'm thinking that I might switch to a whole-food diet where instead of eliminating say, eggs, I only eat them in their pure form rather than as an ingredient in a ready made product. I'm going to try and eat a lot more pulses and grains and will try to cut out pre-made food completely and cook from scratch. Weirdly I'm considering going back to eating fish and long as I know it wasn't farmed and isn't from a low stock (cod for example). I think this might be healthier and I actually feel that ethically fishing is better than dairy farming so I won't be compromising my morals.
As you can see I think a lot a about food.
My thoughts go out to everyone on the first few days of a cleanse, it will get better so hang in there x
