So with just over a week left to go in our raw food month Pam has lost 8 pounds and I have lost 9. Pam has kicked up her workout schedule to match her recommendations from the metabolic testing we did, with a rest day Friday and Sundays. I am lagging a little with a pulled muscle in my back that seems to be getting a little better. Our BP's and resting heart rates remain in the same range as when we started. Neither of us has had any side-effects to report. We're really feeling surprisingly good! That may change next week.
I guess I should have hidden the detox and cleanse book from Pam. She read a little too much and found that they recommend beginning their cleanses with a colon cleanse. Relax! There aren't any scary things involved as far as I can tell. We just need to add 4 fiber drinks per day made from ground flax seed, bentonite clay, ground psyllium seed and activated charcoal mixed with water or juice. We also add a probiotic supplement twice a day and an herbal cleanse capsule once a day. Other than that we swap out our granola for breakfast with a veggie juice. This happens for a week. The result is supposed to be a more efficient digestive system which is meant to supply you with more energy and less sickness along with aiding in weight loss goals.
There's nothing like going out with a bang! Wish us luck.
