Mid-Detox

I have tried many "detox" regimens in my time.  I've tried the days of "all juice" or "all veggies" for 24 hours.  They're nice, but I get hungry.  I've even tried the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup drink which you're supposed to do for 2 weeks.  I only made it though part of two days before succumbing to famine, so, clearly, that option was not for me.


I've seen the other "two week cleanses" or "month cleanse", but I couldn't imagine doing something for two weeks or even a month.  I would not have the will power to do so, especially if it means following a strict diet in addition to the cleanse.  I don't like be restrained in my options - in life or food - so that's just never a good idea.  Therefore, when I found out Arbonne offers a 7-day cleanse and does not require you do to follow a specific diet, I became excited.  Plus, it's safe enough to do once a month, so I determined that meant it couldn't be super potent.  Please, the last thing I wanted to be doing on my Spring Break was be chained to my toilet bowl. I've had relationships with different toilet bowls late at night in college, but I like to think I've put that behind me at this point in my life.


Plus, I am Arbonne consultant, so, to me, it made sense to try it.  What better way to tell others about it than by doing it yourself.  So here I am, 4 days into the 7-day cleanse and still doing well.  I've learned that, yes, they are very honest and serious when they say you should stick to a healthy diet while on the cleanse.  Stay away from fried or overly sugary or processed food.  I made that mistake on Day 1.  BIG mistake.  I have been much healthier since!!  You're supposed to drink it over the course of the full day so you don't hit your system all at once and you allow it to work throughout the day.  That's okay in theory, and some days it's fine, but my Day 3 and Day 4 have been a little testy.  I'm good 90% of the time.  10% of the time I need to find a quick bathroom, pronto.  It does require you to have access to a bathroom, but it's true that it won't chain you to it!  Just don't try it if you're going to be somewhere where you have little control on when you can take that quick bathroom break!


However, I do really like it!  It tastes like apple tea, which is delicious.  I'm forcing myself to eat better, which is good, and it's doing it's job!  I've even noticed my skin breaking out a little more which is excellent, because it means it's really "detoxing" my body!  Sure the breakouts are annoying, but it means it's working!  And why would you use something that doesn't work?!  So, in short, it definitely works, and you don't have to follow any strict diet, which is always nice!  Some people like when you give them no options, but not this girl!  So if a detox is what you're looking for, then this might be a great option for you!
