"I am considering doing a cleanse in January. Join me. "


  

          

I am already down for doing a no booze January. Last year's was a huge success for me. When I discuss it with other folks everyone mentions I should step it up and doing a full on cleanse.

This guy was telling me about doing a no booze, no sugar, no gluten cleanse and in 4 days he felt like superman. His energy levels jumped dramatically.

I am considering trying something like that. Anyone here done a cleanse of any sort? Anyone got a good cleanse to recommend?

Share your experiences and knowledge.

What junk or trashy foods do you allow yourself to eat?

That's usually how it works. For example, a "green juice cleanse" means you're only going to consume green juices.

a green smoothie
a berry smoothie
eggs maybe a slice or two of bacon for breakfast
salmon, tilapia and rice and beans or shrimp (fettucine,pad thai,risotto) for dinner
nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pecans) for snacks

that's how i eat everyday. wheat, red meat, chicken, cheese, milk, cereal, processed food all have a very nominal place in my diet.

i've done cleanses. eating like this will have the same effect on energy level/bowel movements literally cleaning you out.

I'd recommend just instilling/experimenting with some new healthy habits.

I'll never go without a green leafy smoothie as part of my diet ever again. Some combination of kale, spinach, dandelion leaves, collared greens, cabbage, beets, some fruit. I drink around a pint per day and it's definitely the best dietary change I've ever made.

I don't use a juicer. I blend that shit the old-fashioned way and drink it as a thick liquid.

if you want to get healthier there's definitely things you can do like changing your eating habits and getting more exercise, but doing a cleanse is not one of them.

I don't think eating certain things (and not eating certain things) for 30 days would dramatically improve my health.

To me it would be about trying something new. See if the lifestyle agrees with me. Showing some discipline, etc.

I am curious to see if it would give me more energy which is what everyone says their recommended cleanse would do.

But yeah, If I want to be heathier I have to eat better and work out more.

I had that kind of willpower in high school/college... Not so much now lol

That'd be about the only benefit I'd take away from doing this.

So that alone felt like I accomplished something.

I absolutely felt like I had tons more energy. I remember poppin out of bed just because I felt like going running and I never do that.

Also, it had an impact on my drinking for the rest of the year. I did ever so much less casual drinking. Less drinking out of boredom or habit (A couple of beers on a Saturday afternoon).

Of course as the year is ending I am falling back into old habits but I feel like a January no booze would be resetting the clock for the year.

Only problem is I have a knicks game tonight and would love a brew while I watch.
