I wish I had a photo of my colourful breakfast, but I wouldn't have done it justice and anyway I wanted to eat it straight away! It was a layered mix of baby salad greens, green onion, grated carrot and grated beets with a dressing of olive and flax oils, lime juice, Himalayan salt and garlic. Doesn't that sound horrendously healthy!
I have to say that the cleanse that Tai Chi Man and I did at the weekend certainly worked. We felt like hell! Detox symptoms included bad breath, weak muscles and a generally tired feeling. I did manage to do my rebounding every day, and Tai Chi Man mixed concrete and filled in a hole in our driveway, so we weren't totally useless.
On Saturday, we kept to the liquids, but by Sunday evening we were ready for something else. I made a "blender salad" (which is acceptable on the cleanse, we weren't cheating). It was a blended up mixture of salad greens, avocado, jalapeno, cucumber and good salt. Bliss!
Monday morning we had the same again. My enthusiasm in drinking 5 litres of water/Nile water was definitely flagging by the third day. Monday night, we had a big salad of whatever I could find in the fridge that was green.
It was nice to get back to solid food Tuesday, though it is still from the alkaline side of the chart.
