So I am starting a mostly raw diet tomorrow. It will be hard but I feel like I need to do this. Here is my list.
GROCERY LIST
Bananas
Apples
Oranges
Avocado
Cucumbers
Black beans
Broccoli
Cabbage
Salad
Carrots
Eggs
Salsa
wheat raisin bread
veggie burger
granola cereal
milk
The more and more I read on raw foods and the benefits the more I am starting to get excited about what I am doing. I know it will be hard which is why I am
NOT switching totally to raw foods but instead I am including a lot of them in my diet right now. I will try this for a few weeks before doing anything else because I originally wanted to do a full body cleanse.

Great News I'm back on my whole health kick.
Right now im making a grocery list so i can make sure that I have all the correct foods in my house to keep me on track. I have actually been doing pretty ok. I've lost about 7lbs in last three weeks which is about 2lbs a week. Not bad, but I know that I could do better if I was eating a little better and not just cutting calories. My knee hasn't been acting up so I can get back to doing my cardio
turbofire is INSANE!!!! so that's a great thing and I've also been drinking 2 liters of water a day, well more like 1 3/4 but I'm almost at 2 and then I will make it 3 liters that I need to drink a day. THANK GOD for Clear American sparking water. 0sugars, 0calories, 0sodium, 0caffeine just plain ole' sparking water! Well, that's my update I will post my grocery list later....

Sooo, I'm thinking about starting a
cleanse. But not for weight loss... for clarity...I keep reading about how people would go on a cleanse and come out of it successfully with more clarity on everything, better habits and another side effect
good one at that is some weight loss. I figure that it will help me balance my emotions and help my eating habits. I also figure that since now i have so much work to do to finish out the rest of my classes, it would be the perfect time to start now so that any other side effects that I endure can be ignored by writing an essay, studying or completing other assignments. I wanted to do a fruit and vegtable all natural clease for 5-7 days. If the side effects aren't that bad I will go longer. However, if they are I wont because I dont want the backlash. This is one of the cleanses from ehow.com that I came across although I'm not going to be following it.
How to Do a Natural Body Cleanse
X Jennifer Glennon
Body cleanses are the hottest thing to do to lose weight. There are many companies out there that package body cleanses to the masses to help them lose weight. You do not need to spend money on these over priced laxatives. A body cleanse is basically a laxative that has been marketed as a body cleanse to help you to lose weight. The inside of these body cleanses give you a specific diet that you need to follow while on them to help rid your body of toxins. You do not need to take these body cleanse laxatives to cleanse your body of the toxins that have built up over time. A small change in your diet can cleanse your body and start you on the road to healthy weight loss.
Difficulty:Moderately Easy
Instructions
1
While you are on this body cleanse it is important that you stay away from any food that contains any artificial ingredients. These are the items that help your body to build up toxins that stop you from losing weight. One weight loss show that I have watched summed it up best. If you can not pronounce the ingredient then you should not be eating it.
2
There is nothing healthier that you can drink for your body then water. This is plain water. None of the flavored or vitamin waters should be consumed when you are doing a body cleanse. Drink at least 6 bottles of water a day. This will help to keep everything flowing naturally through your body as you do the body cleanse.
3
For breakfast, you need to eat fresh fruit. The denser the fresh fruit is the better that it for your body cleanse. These fruits contain a lot of water that will help to clear out your digestive system.
4
The rest of your meals and snack should contain only fresh and raw fruits and vegetables. This will keep your body from taking in any extra toxins during your body cleanse. Do not use any salt, oils, or dressings on your fruits and vegetables. They will halt the body cleanse in its tracks. You will see a sudden weight loss from the water weight that you will drop when you are on the body cleanse.
5
Follow this fruit and vegetable body cleanse for a week. When you start eating normally again, you will want to eat high fiber carbs and low fat proteins along with your fruits and vegetables. This will help to increase the weight that you will lose from having done a body cleanse.
Here is another one.

.Body cleanses rid the body of toxins and impurities and help you to lose weight. Though scientists dispute the necessity of body cleansing, many people report feeling both better and healthier after a cleanse. There are many products sold to aid in body cleansing and detoxification, but you can do natural body cleansing yourself, cheaper and more naturally. Natural body cleansing is also less harsh on the system than using things such as enemas or laxatives.
Colon Cleansing
When beginning body cleanses, many people start with the colon. Colon cleansing is recommended by Dr. Ben Kim for a number of ailments such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, and is considered a good all-around place to start detoxifying your system.
A simple colon cleanse is a water fast. This can be too much for beginners, as the psychological and physical effects of not eating for several days can be difficult to handle. But a water fast can promote colon cleansing with no need to buy special ingredients. Water fasts are exactly what they sound like: going for a certain number of days consuming nothing but pure water.
Juice and fruit fasting will also cause a cleansing of the colon. In juice fasting, you consume only the juice of fresh (preferably organic) fruits for a certain amount of time, generally one or two weeks to thirty days. Fruit fasting is a similar diet. Those on a fruit fast eat only fresh fruits for ten days to two weeks, or longer.
There are also homemade recipes for colon cleansing using only fruits, herbs and water. One recipe calls for white raisins, senna (an herb) and rose hips extract. The raisins and senna are boiled in 1 L of water each and then left to infuse for thirty minutes. The raisins and senna are then filtered out, all the liquid poured into one container, and 200 g of rose hips added. Drink 100 ml of the mixture daily.
Another recipe reputed to be good for colon cleansing is raw green soup. The soup is made with 2 to 3 cucumbers (peeled), 1 or 2 avocados, 1/2 of a yellow onion, the juice of half a lemon, 3 cloves of roasted garlic, 2 cups of vegetable stock, 1 tbsp. of cilantro, 1 tbsp. of parsley and 1 seeded jalapeno pepper. All of the ingredients are blended together and consumed without heating.
Full Body Cleansing
If you prefer to not focus on one part of your body at a time, you can perform a full-body cleanse. Green smoothies can be used as a full-body cleanse. Just blend dark, leafy greens such as spinach or kale with water or juice and a complimentary choice of fruit together, then drink. One easy recipe for green smoothies is 2 cups of fresh spinach, 2 seeded peaches, and one cup of orange juice.
The master cleanse is also used as a full-body detoxifier. The master cleanse generally consists of drinking nothing but a lemonade made of 10 oz. of water, 2 tbsp. of freshly-squeezed lemon juice, 2 pinches of cayenne pepper, and 2 tbsp. of maple syrup for three to fourteen days. It is also recommended by MasterCleanse.Org that you either begin or end the day with a saltwater flush, consuming 2 tbsp. of sea salt dissolved into 32 oz. of water.

Ok, so yesterday when I
freaked out it was because I spent almost the entire day trying to talk myself out of exercising and the food that I ate was some of the most unhealthy food that I had eaten in awhile. What made me
freak was when i noticed that
ALL of my meals had been that way. Every last meal I kept giving myself reasons why it was ok for me to eat the large amount of greasy or sugary foods. While they tasted damn good they made me feel bad. I hate feeling that way.
On top of that I was giving myself reasons why I didnt have to exercise. So what I did was got up and did a 35 minute cardio crunch fitness dvd and then did the slim in 6 start it up dvd.
So that was yesterday .... as far as today goes, I got up ate a banana, two hours later ate a plate with 2 riblets, mac & cheese and corn (sounds bad but it was a small plate) and then I took a shower and exercised. I did a 40 minute turbo jam cardio tape and a 27 minute slim in 6 tape and then the 14 minute slim and limber. The slim and limber is nothing but stretching and I love it. It helps me not be sore or helps my foot and knee not pop while im walking. So yeah, that's my day in a nutshell. Mostly good. However the day isn't over yet.
Oh yeah, yesterday also, my hp laptop died. Completely blacked out and not only comes on for a few seconds. Somehow the universe always seems to know when im going to get a little bit of money because something happens to make it where i have to spend it. smdh
