This morning I had my very first salt cleansing session… here is the recipe for the salt cleansing :
1 litre of lukewarm water
2 teaspoon of sea salt
And drink the entire litre on your empty stomach after you wake up. It was a harrowing experience… now i know how the prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation feels when you drink a whole litre of water. Pukey! The last 100 ml was the worst…. an hour later with a noisy tummy, I started to get the runs. Not a good sight… or feel… in short, at first the poo came, then the mushy poo and finally the last remaining water came gushing down… yikes!
Then to calm the tummy, I had my first bottle of lemon detox mixture and i might say it was good. Stomach immediately responded to "food" and for a while it was ok.
For the rest of the day, I did not feel much hunger as I drank the mixture the moment I felt hunger. There was no headache for me, joint pains or anything else that I have read that others have experienced. However, I felt very sleepy and had to climb back to sleep after my runs and the first intake of the mixture. For the rest of the day, it was pretty tiring but I pushed on and even went for an evening class. The cool thing was that today I seemed to be able to balance much longer in my forearm balance as well as the handstand… i wonder why?
Anyway the hunger finally took over me after the class ended. I struggled against it by drinking more of the mixture… by the time I reached home, I was very tired but I still have some things that I needed to do… so the inevitable happened… I cheated and took an egg. Hopefully this does not upset the diet too much….:P
I think the detox diet is probably not a suitable to be done when you are working or needed energy to do more things. I probably can do this lemon detox diet in full entirety if I don’t have to work much and in fact, great if I am on vacation and wanted to just rest and do nothing.
Tomorrow…. another new day… another salt cleansing… urgh.
