…… and my first happy moment today
For the last three days I was following the Doctor Oz 3 day detox cleanse. I felt I needed to give my body a boost. I’d recently experienced a hormonal change in my body, my weight loss had come to a stop and I had just gotten over a cold.
Dr. Oz’s cleanse seemed very doable. All the ingredients were easily accessible and some of the ingredients I already had in my house. There was also variety. Each meal for the day was a different recipe. Finally the smoothies were about 350 calories each and because each of them had some kind of fat in them they were very filling and satisfying.
The Dr. Oz 3 Day Detox Cleanse
Here is how each meal looked for the last three days.
Breakfast
Lunch
On the first day we forgot to add the coconut oil. It makes a difference and shouldn’t be skipped.
Dinner
The surprise ingredient in this blueberry mango avocado smoothie is cayenne pepper.
This morning when I got on the scale I was down 6 pounds. Yippee! Now I know that a lot of this is water loss but it’s enough incentive to keep me on the right track with my eating and move forward with my weight loss journey. Plus I do feel better. My skin looks better and the aches I was feeling during the cleanse apparently were due to my body getting rid of the toxins. All good.

I also just finished the Dr. Oz 3 Day Detox Cleanse! It is very satisfying to see changes, even if it is just fluids. It seems like a good way to jumpstart a program. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

So, tell the truth … was the weight loss the ONLY part of this cleanse that made you feel good? 😉 You didn’t really say whether you liked doing it, but obviously you liked having done it (and who wouldn’t, with results like that?) How long did it take for the aches to go away?

The aches went away at the end of the 3 days. I was happy to go back to solid foods and the lunch smoothie was my least favourite meal. Unfortunately two weeks after doing this cleanse I came down with a terrible viral respiratory infection and was ill for two solid weeks. With all the medication, irregular eating patterns and no exercise I put all the weight back on. Luckily I didn’t gain more.

Dang! But you would consider it to be something worth doing? My own, uh, program could use a jump start. 😉

I would try it again. I did feel better and if I hadn’t gotten sick I think it would have been a great jump start to get the weight moving again.
