Re: Starting the Cleanse tomorrow!

Hi Pepe,

Ya, you are right.  Besides good to know that I’ve been loosing weight a bit, but it also adds up to my stress thinking that why the numbers have not been going down everytime when I look at the scale.  I’ve stopped looking at it and only measure it by the way how I fit into my clothes.  So far so good and I think I’m still loosing, just not fast enough.  I read that if one tends to loose too fast, it means mostly due to water retention.  It will be normal to loose up about 2lbs in a week.  And I’m still doing exercise in the morning.  Interval walking for about 45mins to boost up my metabolism rate.  Of course like what you’ve mentioned, post fast is important too.  I will incorporate more vege, fruits and nuts into my diet and more cardio exercises along the way.

I think it does make sense with the jaggery. Although it’s stated there “pure sugar cane juice” but we wouldn’t know the way they actually processed it.  When I used the jaggery for a day, I had a not-so effective BM the next day, so I switched back to using black molasses after that.  The sugar cane juice it’s not cheap from where I stay (Singapore).  I paid a good USD2.50 for less than 1.5litres and it’s less than half of the amount if you are staying places like Malaysia or Thailand.  So it’s expensive and not an option for me though it tastes really good!

I’m already into my 20^th day and I’m really proud of myself for sticking so long.  I have another 20 days to go… *keeping my fingers crossed* 

Cheers!
