finished and feeling bad

I finished a ten-day cleanse on Wednesday. I didn't really feel like I was ready to stop but, because of certain activities this coming week I had planned it so I'd be weened off it by then. The first couple of days on just orange juice I felt amazing! I had so much energy! For the last couple of days though I've had soup, rye crackers, more orange, and a few nuts and I feel bad. I have no energy (slept for 11 hours last night!) and my mood plummeted. It's really cold out and will be for the next while so, I don't even want to go outside for excercise (I have a week off school). Oh, and I'm craving a lot of the foods that I was craving before the cleanse and I'm over-eating again!(on soup). This is really frustrating. Has anyone else dealt with this sort of post-cleanse experience?

This is a reply to # 229,666i am sorry to hear you're having a bad time.
i don't have any words of wisdom to offer since i haven't completed a 10 cleanse yet myself... just want you to know someone is listening, and i hope others can offer some ideas... maybe your body is just adjusting... - It sounds to me like your body is LNdolls

MoreThis is a reply to # 229,666telling you something... it really likes the raw orange juice, liked the Master-Cleanse with it's raw juice.. but is not so happy with the cooked food... and that you need minerals - that is the craving for salt.
You might want to try having some greens - a big spinach salad perhaps, or a big glass of green juice.. or go find a juice bar and get some wheatgrass juice...
And adding some probiotics for a week or two will help, too!
Best,

This is a reply to # 229,666I am only on day 4 and I was wondering if this feeling is common once the cleansing is finished? Anyone else have these feelings?

This is a reply to # 229,675I did not have these feelings, though I did find myself craving salad, veggies and fruit more than anything else once I came off the MC.

This is a reply to # 229,676i am craving right now~ if i were feeling bad from coming off the fast, i would just think about how lucky i am that i am not limited to lemonade and how happy i am to have done such a wonderful!!! thing for me!! the advise on the foods and nutrients intake is something i would definetly utilize too, you guys are so great. and, don't worry, 32280, you will regain your strength soon, as sunnydisposition said, you are more likely just adjusting to a significant change. take a nice bath, do some stretching, and remind yourself how good you are to your body and spirit. you should find balance soon.

This is a reply to # 229,666I'm so sorry you're feeling bad :( It sounds like you might be taking in too much sugar. What I found after my last cleanse is that I was very sensitive to sugars -- so I went to a low glycemic diet. Sugars and carbs are poison to me (thus the reason I'm going back on the cleanse). Orange juice even scares me :) When you go from one extreme to another it's time to take a look at your blood sugars -- do you feel great after eating something...then plummet shortly thereafter?
I don't know if this is the problem or not, but something to think about.
Best,
Melanie
