Anyway, what I am getting at is that I sometimes lose sight of what's really important and indulge in vanity a little too much. How much is too much, right? Lately I've been feeling kind of sluggish and dull and all sorts of crappy. My skin feels dry and irritated from the constant weather hiccups (hot one day, raining the next... make up your mind!) I decided to start a cleanse regimen to get rid of toxins in my body probably due to stress, pollution, foods I eat and other environmental factors like dust and debris. I went to Whole Foods after straight after work today and bought a 2 week cleansing kit.
What it is: The kit contains a two week supply of vitamins that you take in the morning and at night. I'm not going to lie, it's a rigorous vitamin overload. During the 1st week, you take 12 vitamins each day. By the 2nd week, you take 13 vitamins O_O CRAZY right?
I've done this once before a year ago or so and it works. Truly works. I was so skeptical of it at the time because I can easily blend my own concoction of healthy fibrous stuff, but this kit has a lot of plant extracts that you wouldn't otherwise easily get at the grocery store, like dandelion root or elm bark.
I don't want to get all gross on you all, but you pretty much can expect what you're thinking to expect ;) Your digestive system will get a thorough cleaning. The toxins living in your body will be flushed out so you can feel more energized and/or lose weight. I don't recall if I lost any weight but the water retention on my face went down, my skin became way clearer and I slept better.
It's crazy but I felt this was really effective for me. I've never tried any other cleanses before simply because I'm kind of a creature of habit and tend to go back to things I've tried.
I bought this at Whole Foods for $12.99 pretax. It's from their 365 Everyday line. You can find different cleanses online or at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe or natural foods store.
Have you tried this? Any thoughts? :) I hope I'm not being gross o_o
