I feel great - lots of energy though I am waking in the night more than usual. I just finished my final bowl of fruit and water to start the Bile Flush. Today is my 7th day of the cleanse.

It's our bodies way of asking us to slow down, clean out and rebuild our stores of energy. Why not honor it by napping, going to be early or sleeping in? This is a time to pause, stop doing what we always do, break the patterns that have held us and been unsupportive to our health. If you cleaned out your house, you'd be exhausted an many levels. Just look at this as a major cleaning the "work" is eating well, slowly and mindfully. The breath and yoga practices will slowly bring you to a point where your energy comes back better than ever!

Maybe I should have waited to do the cleanse until after I get my CPAP device for my sleep apnea. But I'm taking it easy; today I took a nap, and continuing to eat the food recommended on the cleanse. Now the questions :-) Is there a protein shake out there that you recommend, or what should I look for in protein drinks? Whey protein...or? We are not supposed to eat nuts on our cleanse, but I'm sure they're good for you if they are raw, not the salty ones? I love almond butter and would have it almost every morning on toast...is this ok? Is it best to try to stay away from gluten, or is it only for the cleanse? What is wrong with gluten? THANK YOU, AGAIN! I’m doing everything right, but I am so tired. Maybe I should have waited to do the cleanse until after I get my CPAP device for my sleep apnea.

I'm so happy that you found alternatives! It really just takes some extra attention and we can almost always find a way to keep cleansing and live our lives. If you're on day 5-6, hopefully you're starting to get past any aches and pain and move to a lighter, more energetic body. Keep sharing your triumphs and your negative experiences as well. Remember that we're changing our bodies on a very deep level in a way that might be completely new. You body,mind and spirit will be happier! Yeah! I’m so happy that you found alternatives!

I had a big lunch, naked burrito from Chipotle, so that I would not be too hungry for a restaurant meal. I checked on line and found they had a beet salad with argula and cheese. I had them give me the salad with extra beets NO DRESSING, lemon instead and NO CHEESE. I was amazed at how accommodating they were and how satisfied I was and could still enjoy time out with my friends. It can be done!

I made it more difficult in the beginning thinking that I had to eat everything from the recipe list, so went to Vitamin Cottage and spent an hour shopping! I did made the White Bean & Kale Soup and I LOVED it, along with Tom! The beet salad is good, to my surprise, and yesterday I added Herbs of Provence and today apple...both very good! Today I was very tired and took a short nap...that helped. And to my surprise, I'm not craving sugar...what I would like though is a glass of wine! Eye opening! OH! I had a previous date set with a friend for antiquing in Englewood and she wanted to go to lunch (I had my apple with me) but someone recommended Cafe 180...it's really a very healthy place and homeless people can go there for free! They request that regular customers just pay for what they think is fair for their meal, I had a veggie pitta sandwich and "tried" to not eat too much of the pitta bread. The veggies and greens were VERY fresh...wonderful. Are the Amy's frozen meals ok, in particular, Any's Brown Rice & Vegetable Bowl...assuming it is; it says "no gluten added" looks like it's gluten free considering the ingredients...maybe not. I'm loving the Neti wash; my nose now feels much better in this dry environment. I’m doing well!

On day 2 I woke up feeling nauseous and achey. Slept most of the morning and felt better in the afternoon. Wasn't sure if I had a touch of the stomach flu or if it was toxins working their way out. The plan has been easy to follow and I havent' felt hungry at all. I made a big batch of my own split pea soup, rice and beans, and I love the avocado/sprouts on the rice cakes (I also bought Lundberg). Eating lots of baked apples with raisens and cinnamon! Got on the scale this morning and was surprised to see I'd lost 4 lbs in 4 days! Day 5 of the cleanse and I’m feeling great! On day 2 I woke up feeling nauseous and achey.
