Okay y'all I'm starting to feel so gross. My eating has taken me to a place of grossness lately. It's just convenient to eat like crap. When life is cray you eat when you can, what you can, wherever you can. It seems like the Ivey's life has been CRAZY for the past 3 weeks. Lots of good stuff, a few bad things, and just outright busy. I'm preaching to the choir here. I know you guys get me.
I need to change next week. I want to do a cleanse/detox, whatever you want to call it. I need to flush out all this crap I've been putting in my body. This morning I was contemplating this and of course what the heck did I eat for breakfast? Bacon. Gross hospital bacon. It was convenient, and I refused to eat cold grits. What's going in my body is effecting what's going out, if you know what I mean. (I know some of you would never discuss your poop, so I'm sorry) Let me just say that I can tell that I'm not putting good stuff in, by the way things are coming out. Or should I say not coming out some days. AH I've grossed a few of you out. Please keep reading. No more poop talk!
So … I need your help. What do you do to get your body back on track? Do you have a detox plan? A cleanse plan? I've done the Master Cleanse a few times and am not opposed to it, just trying to hear from all you guys about what you do. My only saving grace during these crazy times is that I'm still using my greens, which get me lots of servings of fruits and veggies. I'll keep doing that throughout whatever I do next week. Oh I just need to get back on track.
I want to hear from you guys! Click HERE to leave a comment & give me your ideas. The only kicker is please don't be mean or talk rudely to someone else that does something else. To each his own. Just sell me on why your detox/cleanse is the best!!! I'm not talking diet folks. I'm talking CLEAN ME OUT!
Ready. Go. Tell me what you do!
Oh, and one last thing …. anyone want to join me? Accountability will make this much better for us all. Anyone else struggling with putting bad food in their body recently and want to clean it out? Let's do this together!
I’m a fan of Whole30. Not your traditional cleanse, but it’s SO good to refocus your palate and satiety.
I’m in! No ideas, but will participate in whatever sounds good to you. 🙂
If I wanted to do a detox thing, this is what I would probably do. I’d juice vegetables and fruits twice a day, replacing breakfast and dinner, I’d drink a cup of black coffee in the morning so I wouldn’t lose my mind, and I’d eat a little bit of fresh-and-organic-as-can-be oatmeal with some almonds for a filling lunch to get me through the rest of the day. If I wanted to “detox”, that’s what I’d do, because you’re still eating/drinking full nutrients, and you still get full enough, so you’re more likely to stick with it for a week or two. Plus I don’t know if those detox things at Whole Foods or other places are really all that good for you. FYI, in case you didn’t know, I’m not a doctor 🙂
I am starting the Standard Process Cleanse on Monday. It is a 21-day purification program. Here is some info on it.

I havle done the 7 day fast forward cleanse that goes with the cinch dietban. You can find it just by goog ling it. Its really pretty easy and its real food that I normally eat anyway.

Hey Jamie! I have never done a cleanse/detox however, I am familiar with putting junk into my mouth frequently due to convenience. I would love to join you! (If it wasn’t to inconvenient, haha) 😉
I recently did the Advocare cleanse – it is for 10 days and it was good. Nothing white, no alcohol, no refined carbs – Fiber in the AM/PM, a probiotic, lots of salads and healthy fats with protein.
One time Rachel Ray convinced me that I needed a good clean-out and I signed up for a ‘free sample” of Colo-Detoz. Let’s just say that my first warning should have been when I had to enter my credit card number.
Needless to say, I’ve got a supply of the stuff– and if you’re brave, it’s all yours.:)
If it were me, I’d fix me a bowl of Fiber One and a cup of joe and call it a day.
I’ve done AdvoCare’s Herbal Cleanse several times and I love it because it’s gentle, but it definitely does the trick. I did it with a super busy schedule, and it didn’t throw anything off. I could tell a huge difference in how I felt when it was over. Let me know if you have any questions! http://www.advocare.com/0907172
Living Raw By Grace has ideas.

AdvoCare’s Herbal Cleanse 🙂
I so need to do one, but need to research the safety of this in pregnancy. My parents did something with lemon/honey water and Paul’s parents are doing this thing with soup. If you’re interested I can get the info. But it sounds like you have a lot of good ideas.
I have never done one of these but was just thinking about it when I saw your post! I have been eating horribly lately and consequently feel like crap. I was doing good, training for the half and eating right and then October happened. Lots of things have happened in October and due to circumstances haven’t been running and due to stress have been stress eating. No good. Wanna get back on track so depending on what this looks like I might be in! At least I am getting some ideas and that is much appreciated 🙂
