Also good is "The Pleasure Trap" by Lisle and Goldhamer.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742511177719890698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-7666600046968122962008-01-23T13:25:00.000+10:002008-01-23T13:25:00.000+10:00Paul and I did a detox a few years ago for about t...Paul and I did a detox a few years ago for about three months. The first few days we only ate vegetables (because fruit is so high in sugar). Then we added barley and pulses for the rest of the week. Then we added other grains (except for wheat and white rice - although we did eat sprouted wheat) and finally a tiny bit of fruit in the second month.<BR/><BR/>The first few days were a little hard (because I was craving something more solid than vegetables), and the first month was a little tricky when we went out etc. But I felt fantastic by the end of it.<BR/><BR/>Now I just wish that I had the same level of willpower. I cannot imagine doing it at the moment, but I am sure that I would feel great if I did.<BR/>mmm Maybe I had better wait until I am no longer breastfeeding though. I don't think that it would be all that good for Lily...cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438841050844456591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-63311645423065625732008-01-23T09:44:00.000+10:002008-01-23T09:44:00.000+10:00That's maybe because you do not have much to detox...That's maybe because you do not have much to detox from as a vegan :D Only living too long on "vegan booze" or "vegan sugar bombs" may require frequent detoxing... I do this only after too excessive sugar intake and facing mountains of work to be done, so I have to be superfit *sigh*xxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576694808394870933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-5548480081572158722008-01-23T06:17:00.000+10:002008-01-23T06:17:00.000+10:00Oh my gosh, how did Nacho get into that position??...Oh my gosh, how did Nacho get into that position???!!!ChocolateCoveredVeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535445175195773771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-27994377333438783392008-01-23T02:16:00.000+10:002008-01-23T02:16:00.000+10:00I've been reading a book, written by a more ethica...I've been reading a book, written by a more ethical doctor, called 'Toxic Relief'. He talks about all the toxins in our air, furniture, buildings, cars, food, lotions, perfumes, etc... He said the best way to clean out your blood and your liver is to eat raw foods for two weeks, mainly leafy greens, fruit, veggies and nuts. Then for 2-3 days, you go on a pure juice fast. It requires drinking organic fruit juice made by a juice mixer as well as pureed organic veggies that are cooked but not boiled and warm herbal tea. <BR/><BR/>Supposedly the first time people feel faint, headachey, dizzy, pimply, etc... But this is just the toxins being released from your body. He suggests that the days of fasting you do nothing by relax or go for strolls at most. Then, as the weeks afterwards go by, you will feel thinner (if one is overweight to begin with), stronger, more energized, etc...<BR/><BR/>I plan on trying this in a few months when I have time to focus on it. I'll let you know how it goes!Ashasaralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082289090991930433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-83973704448451549352008-01-22T23:09:00.000+10:002008-01-22T23:09:00.000+10:00sounds like you detoxed in the most delicious way ...sounds like you detoxed in the most delicious way possible - I've been eating 75%-80% raw (not a detox, but still a more pure way to eat) for the past few weeks, and I feel tremendously healthier - even my Crohn's Disease symptoms have reduced dramatically!!LizNoVeggieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785142908687097216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-27191476794994260742008-01-22T12:06:00.000+10:002008-01-22T12:06:00.000+10:00i've never done a full on detox. i'm curious thoug...i've never done a full on detox. i'm curious though. thanks for sharing.<BR/>Jared and I thought about doing a juice fast for a weekend. i think i could handle that.Lori- the Pleasantly Plump Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699666546756497381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-32245593963384071902008-01-22T12:02:00.000+10:002008-01-22T12:02:00.000+10:00cool, that sounds like an interesting few days... ...cool, that sounds like an interesting few days... I like the whole idea of detoxing but never get around to it. Good call on cutting out school and internet, too. I think you've inspired me to keep something like this in mind for myself, at least when the produce gets better!Liz Ranger (Bubble Tea for Dinner)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10964705723198215243noreply@blogger.com
