Day one here. It's been along time coming back. How are you doing? It looks like well, from your posts, maintaining a high level of health. Good for you
I'm familiar with the MC as
i did a 28 day in 2007. I have done some shorter ones since then, but, I didnt maintain all my weightloss (20)lbs because i didn't permanently reform my diet.
I have wonderful memories of feeling blissful, no pain, blood sugars normalized, energitic, clear thinking, more contented, joyful, during and at the end of the 07' cleanse I did.
This time, I've just finished 30 days of vegan eating. (Not 100% raw), but very lowfat, under 10%. I still have NO weight loss.
The benefits are though that i went through a cleansing crisis already, and so layed the foundation for a MC. I didnt set the days on MC, but take one day at a time. Minimum goal 14 days.
Mind you I have basically eaten on and off the SAD most of my life justifying it by also eating healthy foods......
My poor body is confused.
The problem is my quality of life. I want quality, with energy and oomph to live. I've decided this is the best route to go, since it's worked before, the problem though is reforming my diet after, and maintaining the successes. I'm so determined.
Recently purchased the book, The Pleasure TRap, which helped me alot.
There's a curve till you hit 90 days, then it gets easier after all the withdrawals are eased.
Anyway, Im starting another thread here to journal.
Happiness and peace to you, glad someone I remember is here,
