Does anyone else go through really lethargic days? Like you
wake up and just feel tired even though you got a normal amount of sleep? Well
I’ve been feeling like that for the past few weeks. I’m not going to lie....I’m
not the healthiest person. There are days where I don’t eat or drink the right
things so I’m not even wondering what the reason for my tiredness is. It wasn’t
even just my tiredness either. I was getting really bad skin too! So I decided
to do something about it and take my health into my own hands. I looked up the
benefits of juicing and actually found that a lot of people have been
benefiting so much from incorporating juicing into their diet.
I didn’t want to do anything too drastic though because I
knew my body wouldn’t really be able to handle such a huge change so fast. So I
went on a 3 day cleanse where all I did was have a healthy homemade shake for
breakfast, a homemade vegetable and fruit juice for lunch, and healthy meal for
dinner. The first day was such a struggle as I’m used to eating things for
breakfast that will fill me up really fast like scrambled eggs and toast but
instead I had a shake which included blueberries, pineapple, banana, and
unsweetened almond milk. It was definitely something I had to get used to as I’m
really used to sugary drinks but I just got on with it and actually started to
like the taste that natural sugars give off. The rest of that day though I was
feeling suuuuuper hungry and was craving the worst things but the next couple
of days were really good! I woke up feeling energised and wasn’t feeling as
hungry as I did the day before.
I would definitely say that one of the biggest things I kind
of missed was drinking fizzy drinks. Before the cleanse I never noticed how
many I drink a day and it probably was one of the biggest causes for my dry
skin and spots. But after cutting them out for only 3 days it made such a
difference! If you feel the same way I did then I would definitely recommend
this. Some people only juice for 3 days in a row or more but I just felt like
it would be too much of a shock to my system but I will definitely try it soon.
Let me know in the comments if you have cleansing/ detoxing
things I could try out.
