Well what an adventure already! The “movements” have already started and it is great. I guess it’s not great that I’m running to the Loo 3 times a day but it’s great to know we are “cleaning the pipes” right now. Some have asked does it hurt, do you feel sick, and many other fun questions. So here are some not so fun details…stop reading now if you don’t want to hear about the bowel movements of SB.

During the pre-cleanse I take a pill that is full of magnesium. The purpose, to “oxygenate” and loosen harden fecal matter down in the rusty pipes. So for 3 nights I’d take this pill on an empty stomach and then go to bed. Without fail, every morning I’d wake up, drink a big glass of water…and then in about 5-10 min I would have to run to the bathroom. What came out was very pudding like. Sorry for the imagery but that is the best way to describe it.

Yesterday was the offical start date of the 10 day cleanse. 1 hour before or after breakfast and lunch I have to mix this awful powder into 8 ounces of water. Not going to lie…yuck O. And then you chase it with another glass of water and an Aloe Vera Pill. The aloe is to sooth the havac you are putting on your system. At night you repeat the oxygen pills.

This morning was day 2 and it was my first “solid movement”…and then after the solid was more of the other stuff. This is a cleanse at its best! To take this thing up another notch I have gone with an Anti-Fungal diet. The below is a list of what not to eat. Essentially trying to take out all things fungus LOVES to eat on. Take those out and you kill the bad guys. I honestly feel so good…this shall become a yearly Post-Thanksgiving endeavor.

NO processed meats (bacon, sausage, deli meat, etc)
NO beans
NO fruits except for berries, green apples, & grapefruit
NO sauces
NO sugars
NO dairy except whipping cream and butter
NO peanuts or pistachios
NO nut butters
NO oils besides olive oil & coconut oil
NO sweeteners besides Stevia

The tough parts have been to be off my beloved coffee for this past week. Caffeine headaches truly blow. And oh yeah, the whole taking sugars out…S-U-C-K. But I feel amazing. Clear head, more energy, and my stomach is starting to shrink a tad, lose some weight, and the gunk is leaving thy system.

Stay tuned for more of SB’s joyful Christmas stories!
