SP Purification-Day 10

I didn’t do so great yesterday.  I took the boys to a birthday party in the morning where they had lunch, and I had a few pieces of fruit.  We stopped by Applebees to say hi to Mom, and I was really hungry by then.  Mom gave me part of her salad, which had a little [...]

SP Purification-Day 9

Day 9 almost over. I would strongly recommend not going out to eat with others while you are on this program. We went to TGIFridays this evening. I had a side of rice and vegetables–neither we’re particularly good. W had ribs, and E had macaroni and cheese. Yum. I wish I could say that I [...]

SP Purification-Day 8

First day of the Green Food supplement. Nothing significant to report. Also continued to use the dairy free powder today for shakes.

SP Purification-Day 7

Day 7 almost done. Today was the last day of the SP supplements. My order of the dairy free protein mix also arrived today, so we will see if that makes any difference. I picked out a few veggie recipes to make this weekend which should help. The sugar cravings have been reduced, but I’m [...]

SP Purification-Day 6

It is 9:34 p.m. and I am so hungry.  I don’t think I am eating enough on this program.  I’ve really got to bump up the vegetable and water intake.  It didn’t help any that I didn’t really get a lunch today and so the timing of all of my meals was messed up.  Tomorrow [...]

SP Purification-Day 5

Another day down today.  I just got back from the store with more vegetables.  It’s been a long time since I was a vegetarian, and I’m a bit out of practice making veggie dishes.  My afternoon smoothie mixture was much better today–pear, banana, and a dash of nutmeg.  I still get a strong urge for [...]

SP Purification-Day 4

I am drinking, or should I say chewing, my afternoon smoothie.  Orange, carrots, and banana; it’s not much of a smooth smoothie.  No headache today, which was nice.  Honestly though, I haven’t felt much of a difference from my pre-purification days yet.  No extra burst of energy, no glowing skin, nothing too exciting yet.  Maybe [...]

SP Purification-Day 3

Another hard day today.  Have had a headache all day.  Tired.  Craving everything–eggs, peanut butter, candy, a hamburger, yogurt, cheese.  Hope I feel better tomorrow.

SP Purification-Day 2

Today was harder.  I got hungry around 2:00 p.m. and had to fight off the urge to eat something sweet.  Even now, I would love a bite of Halloween candy!

21-Day Cleanse

I started the Standard Process Purification Program today.  I can eat as many fruits and vegetables as I like but no processed foods, nuts, or dairy.  There are supplements as well as a shake to drink for protein.  I can also eat a small amount of lentils or brown rice each day.  The program is 21 [...]
