The day started out well. I got up, made my kale salad before work and packed hydrating drink, nuts and fruit, as well as brown rice. When it came time to eat lunch, I just couldn't eat it. Something, or someone, inside me was saying "yuck! i don't want that kale salad and i'm NOT gonna eat it!" I couldn't choke it down, despite being really hungry. Well, that was at noon, and my work day wasn't over until almost 7 pm. By the time I got home, I was beyond famished. I quickly made a tofu/banana… Continue

It's day 14 for me on the virtual cleanse. For week 2 I mostly have eaten the same things on week one, but i did add more juices, soups and liquids to my diet.

I find it remarkable how quickly my body responds to whole foods. It's as if a total transformation has taken place and it's only been 7 days. Two weeks ago you would have found me at Carl's Jr, spilling ketchup on myself as I raced down the freeway. Soda, sugar and pizza… Continue

i started the virtual cleanse on sunday, 3 days early. i am so glad i did because the conference call with darshanna made everything more clear. also, i began with inspiration and enthusiasm on sunday and by tonite's conference call i needed a pep talk. the cravings and symptoms have set in on day 2,3 and 4. namely, headaches, lethargy, and intense cravings for cheese and white flour - gimme a big pizza!



i've also spent hours and hours in the kitchen chopping, cooking and cleaning,… Continue
