Hi peeps! It's a week now since I finished my cleanse and I can tell you how it affected me. First it took me two entire days to get my mind back on track - I was helplessly grumpy and mean. Better don't meet your boyfriend's parents during your cleanse like I did. I couldn't stop complaining at his dad, sheesh that was embarrassing! During the cleanse I lost over 2 kg. I was quite sure I'd gain those back in no time but after a week I still have 1,5 kg less than before even though I've had a lot of carbs this week I didn't gain. After the cleanse I strangely craved for salty and warm food a lot. It took me several days until the 'real' effect kicked in - slowly I realised how much food I actually need and that I CAN actually live without all the bread and sweets and that the fruit and light stuff is much better for me! The cleanse made me think about those things and that's extremly positive!
But as I said already - I reccommend that you have your raw and healthy food during the cleanse. Fruit and veggies, fruit salads and chickpea dips. I was a grumpy, hungry and tired thing and barely could walk or talk and had hammering headaches. So better leave out the processed food, caffeine, salt and sugar and live on juices, fruit and vegetables and you will feel perfect and be so cleansed afterwards! This is much better for you in case you want to move/do sports and keep up the normal life. Then you just need certain things and juices won't be enough. This way you'll get all the advantages out of your cleanse without any negative effects!
