My day 10 will be Monday. On Wednesday, I'm having a work meeting at a local restaurant and would love to have a nice, raw salad, maybe even a bit more. My question--can I ease out more quickly than is generally recommended?
For instance, Tuesday is my orange juice day. What if, on Monday, I allowed some of the lemon pulp in with the lemon juice. (I was doing this accidentally the first few days. I have now begun using a wire mesh to filter out all pulp entirely.) Then, Tuesday, I had the orange juice with its pulp (not using the wire to filter it out), and maybe around 4-5pm, I used the blender to blend some raw vegetables with orange juice, maybe tossing in some unsweetened almond milk. Then Wednesday (this would normally be day three of the ease out), I start with more orange juice, and when it comes time for the work lunch, I have a good, raw salad with things like lettuce, spinach, peas (trying to remember what else they have). I think we're going to Ruby Tuesdays, and I'd get the veggie trio. however, I could save my trio for the next day, or for later, and just have the raw salad bar veggies and see how that takes.
Then Thursday, I start with OJ, have the cooked vegetable trio leftovers, and generally try to just eat carefully and healthfully, but kind of normally?
Thursday, I'll also be on a plane to Houston for a wedding. I'll be trying to eat very very carefully.
How about the use of laxatives during this time? As I understand it, the laxatives are used the night of the final night as well, but they are not used after that.
Also, when do I go back to taking my normal supplements and probiotics?
Thanks very much. I'm reading through several books about all this at the moment, but I'm not going to abort my cleanse just because I started it too soon.
I have not made any serious mistakes yet, happily, and despite only being able to do it the minimum 10 days, I'm glad I'm doing it period and would like to do it again when possible/healthy/convenient.
