I would not recommend this therefore.

I also swore I would stay away from all the bad stuff when I was done but the only thing I stuck with was no cream in my coffee.I still feel that this cleanse is good for your whole body, it gives the digestive system a break and your liver because no alchohol allowed. I found whole grain rice cakes with salmon were a great snack.

I read the book about all the foods to eat and I must say, i cant have my life revolve around the food with working 15 hours per day. So, i will proceed with my usual diet which consists a lot of fruit, vegetables,salad, meat...mostly healthy stuff. i will write quick blogs following the progress if anyone is interested. I'm deciding to do this because I have been looking for this to see how people feel day to day ( natuas, headache, cranky). I'm a bit worried about the feeling sick part but i will see. Hello,

I asked the lady what she reccomended the most and she said she loves this cleanse. I am on day 2 and have bought tuna and big bag of almonds, also been eating veggies like carrots and celery. I feel good but low energy and really craving carbs and meat ... I will follow up in couple days I am 18 years old I was looking at health food store and came across the wild rose cleanse..

With that being said, does anyone know a good snack to have before working out that would be acceptable while on the cleanse ?

I ate oatmeal porridge for breakfast ( after taking all the pills), then tofu scramble for lunch. Felt very hungry so ate a whole avocada which immediately made me feel nauseous,with stomach pains, dirrhoea for the rest of the day. Now, I feel too sick to eat dinner, and am afraid to take the pills again ( since that may be what is making me so ill.) Don't know whether to continue or not. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

I'll definitely bookmark it so, I can read more and more. It's interesting that you tried this cleanse. During the G20, when all of us were feeling terrible, one of the female officers talked about doing a 10 day cleanse. I was intrigued until I was told I would have to monitor my diet. WHAT??? Are you kidding me? I thought I would just have to take a shake, here and there, and voila...needless to say, it didn't happen. For me, life is about balance and I feel that I have that going on. With eating correctly, exercising and keeping a clear head my body feels great. Which reminds me, time to get my gear on for a Lighthouse run. :) PS thanks for being my tester Jen, thanks for sharing this post with me. I’ll definitely bookmark it so, I can read more and more.

I had a motherload of a headache last night and it is still lingering. I cannot decide if I can have an advil or not to help me with it. I should be eating breakfast right now, but I am scared to take the little pills that seem to be causing my headache (and a bit of nauseau). So I guess I may have to come back and let you know how it progresses from here. I am desperately crossing my fingers that the benefits later in the program are worth this journey. The food is not a hard transition (though I do miss my black tea and milk in the morning), as I mostly eat pretty clean to begin with... but I guess I will see where this goes. Wish me luck.... I think I am gonna need it! :) I am on day 2 right now, and I have to admit that I am feeling a bit crumby. I had a motherload of a headache last night and it is still lingering.

I love Trader Joe's roasted unsalted chunky almond butter - $5/jar! @Kelly- I'm with you. I see no need for a cleanse. Obviously it's everyone's individual choice, but if you eat healthy stuff to start, what is the purpose. I also run and do spin classes. When I eat, I take in to consideration what nutrients my body needs to support me throughout my athletic endeavors. While I have the occasional ice cream or other unhealthy food, the bulk of my intake is fruits, veggies, and healthy sources of protein. I drink plenty of water. I run 3-4x/week and ride my bike or spin another 1-2x/week. I could not maintain that level of activity if I was dealing with headaches, nausea, and fatigue while on a 2 week cleanse. @Lindsey-

Why would you bother to spend 12 days cleansing your body and then eat Pizza. I am honestly very curious, I eat gluten-free, vegetarian, organic on a daily basis. I too run, but I eat clean daily to feel better daily, I drink my coffee black, I don't do dairy and I do not cleanse because I don't understand the purpose of cleansing if you eat clean on a daily basis. I do admire your 12 days of sacrific, I just don't understand the whole purpose behind cleansing if people are just going to go back to eating the same way they did before a cleanse. If we worshiped out bodies and treated our digestive system the same way we treated out LULU clothes or our cars, we would have No need to cleanse in the first place. I have to ask?
