CSD Day Five (!?!)

You can bypass reading this entire post by by reading the following statement

"I feel healthy and energetic on the Crazy Sexy Diet Cleanse."

Some wonderful things about this cleanse so far
I'm shocked at how quickly the caffeine urges went away.
I'm equally shocked at how few food cravings I have.
I have done twice as much exercise this week but feel exactly the same,
if not a bit better and more clear.
Eating 60% raw is easy!

The nasal cleanse
I forgot to do the nasal cleanse today and have been runny and sneezy all day.
A testament to the effectiveness of the nasal rinse!

Food today

The juice:
In the juicer: 1 cucumber, 3-4 celery stalks, 5-10 kale leaves, 5 romaine leaves, 1-2 apples
Add that to blender with: 1/8 cup rolled oats, a few walnuts, a couple more kale leaves, water

It's very GREEN.

Since I'll most likely be eating out tonight and may be challenged to stick to the cleanse exactly, I'm having this for lunch:
Strips of 1 zucchini, 3 carrots, 1 cucumber topped with creamy avocado dressing (1 avocado, a drizzle of olive oil, a handful of cilantro, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, juice of half a lime, salt and pepper, water to process, in the Vita-mix). That quantity of food will last 2-3 meals. Raw food is filling!

My snack will probably be a decadent banana topped with peanut butter to get me through my yoga tonight.

  1. I've been tempted to do the cleanse! I read the book and have been meaning to dive into the cleanse too. Sounds like you're thriving on it! That plate of veggies looks awesome!

  2. Rose--That plate of veggies was inspired by your spirals yesterday! I've always wanted to try zucchini spaghetti!
