Hey peeps! We are here again! I am still excited about blogging! You can tell right? First of all, thanks to all of who left feedback. Keep the comments and questions coming! Will do my best to answer them all. I appreciate the love. Let’s stay connected!

So I recently did a 3 day detox and I have continued after that to replace meals with smoothies and boy am I enjoying the results!!! Many of you have asked for the recipes and it will be selfish to keep it to myself. After all, we are here to learn and share. It takes determination and motivation and you might feel like quitting many times during the 3 days detox, I know I did! Many times, I asked myself who sent me but stick to it and you will be glad you did. The benefits far outweigh the discomfort.

When I decided to do this detox, I did it primarily for my skin and to rest my system from food but one of the side effects (a great one for most people) is the weight loss that comes with it! I lost over 2 kilos after 3 days. For someone like me who wasn’t big to start with, 2 kilos is a lot of weight loss but I am not complaining. Not at all! I am rocking my new size! I am back to my pre children weight. Isn’t that amazing?!!!
So, here it is! My 3 day detox diet!

Something to note is throughout the 3 day detox, have a glass of hot water with a slice of lemon or lime first thing in the morning when you wake up. I saw this detox in a book but I have modified it to suit my purpose. You should also make a 3 to 4 liter ‘juice water’ that you can drink throughout the day. You can either make it by adding 3 to 4 liters of water to the pulp from your juicing and sieve or you can just blend an apple, 1/4 of a cucumber, a slice of lemon, a slice of beetroot and a stick of celery, add the water to it and sieve.

Apple & cucumber are amazing for flushing and cleaning the system
Celery- flushes the body of excessive carbon dioxide and reduce acidity in the system.
Beetroot- extremely good for cleaning the bloodstream and is excellent with lemon for cleansing liver and kidney.
Ginger is a well known natural antibiotic and superb decongestant
Blueberries contain some of nature’s most powerful antioxidants and anti-aging phytonutrients
Blackberries are antibacterial, they promote healing and are also good for treatment and prevention of diarrhoea.
Parsley is one of nature’s superherb. It expels worms, relieves gas, freshens breath, stimulates normal activity of digestive system.

Good luck with it and let me know how it goes! Can’t wait to see your results!
