Benefits of a Detox

April 6, 2011

A couple of weeks ago I completed my first ever Green Smoothie Detox. I felt amazing after it was over, and I was 10 pounds lighter. It made me wonder what would happen if I choose to follow the detox within the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law.

I enjoyed the fresh flavors of the raw foods and decided to take a stab at a raw food detox that I found at The Raw Divas. This will only be seven days, but I am committing to following through with boldness. That means that I am CHOOSING to give up coffee for that week and am already beginning the weaning process by drinking hot tea instead.

This new journey corresponds with my reading of “Made to Crave.” I know that there is more. God made me for more. More opportunities exist than I ever imagined. My choices hinder my purpose, my path and my plans.

Think of a detox as a chance to train for better choices. Seven days (or 21 if you are going to do the Green Smoothie Detox from the Smoothie Queens) to begin to discover the potential of you.

The more I think about the possibilities the more exited I get about this detox. I want more and now my willingness to take the step to DO more is making that desire a reality.

    Ack! That’s the end?!?! I started reading back where you started the 21 day Smoothie Detox and was looking forward to hearing how the 7 day raw detox went but there are no more ‘earlier posts’ left.

    I was looking for reviews of the 21 Day Smoothie Detox and enjoyed reading how it went for you as well as the general ‘attitude’ of how the information for the 21 days are presented as I’ve been thinking about giving it a try for myself and partially for my husband.

    I’ll be adding your blog to my blog reader in hopes of hearing more about how your journey towards a ‘more green-filled way of eating’ for yourself and your family goes! :)
