I Guess I'm Gonna Eat

Organic lemons are a no-go and no one seems to know when they will be back in. In fact, even conventional lemons aren't all that easy to come by.  So, I guess I will go ahead and break the fast.  You are supposed to do it slowly, adding orange juice the first day, orange juice and vegetable broth and 2nd day, and finally light food on the 3rd day. 

We, however are having both orange juice and vegetable soup today.  I think the longer you fast (some people do this for 40 days or longer), the more important it is to slowly re-introduce food.

I am sad to be stopping because I really don't feel done yet.  I want the pink tongue!  My tongue is still white.  Yes, you can brush your teeth (and I AM) but it stays white.  It is one of the detoxing symptoms.  When your body is more cleaned out the white goes away and your tongue turns pink.  When I am eating foods again it will go back to normal because I am not flushing toxins, so it won't stay this furry white.  Thankfully!

Mike has lost about 15 pounds and I have lost 15-16 I think.  Many people don't lose any weight.  They say if you are already at the right weight or underweight you won't lose, some people even gain weight if you can believe it.

So, I'm breaking the fast.  Reluctantly.

10 days is quite an accomplishment. I have a friend that did a detox and her DH said that she was quite smelly there for awhile. I don't think she used the lemonade concotion that you were speaking of. Check out her cancer story:

She is very into organic and herbs and is getting me intereseted. I don't think I have what it takes to do a detox but I am making small changes here and there so that maybe one day I will be able to do the detox.

WTG on the weight loss too.
