Response re SP 21-Day Purification Program

Hi grackle, and thanks for posting to the Detox Blog.

I find that I don't get hungry on this cleanse so the food doesn't seem boring to me. But it helps to vary the way you prepare the protein smoothies. I will usually put bananas in my protein drink, but sometimes I change it to strawberries or other fruits, just for variety.

It sounds like you are doing the modified cleanse since you mentioned eggs. You can have lean fish and meats too. Try steaming or poaching the meats or preparing them in a way you don't normally eat them.

The list of allowed foods is pretty long, so you could also try veggies or fruits on that list that you don't normally eat. I am picking dandelions from my front yard and using them as a steamed vegetable; that is another thing I don't usually do that works to keep this diet interesting.

Last year I developed a real taste for steamed onions - that sounds silly but they really do taste delicious when steamed! I would never have known that otherwise. During this cleanse my sense of taste is so much improved that foods take on a different flavor and quality. I remember munching on raw carrots and noticing how sweet they tasted -- again, something that usually just passes me by when I eat "normally."

This is a very timely post, because I am starting my 21-day cleanse this Tuesday, June 3rd!! I just did my food shopping yesterday and am getting myself mentally prepared for 3 weeks of detox dieting. I'm looking forward to it, especially the weight loss, so I can start going to the beach in July!

Don't hesitate to post again with other questions about the program.

Best,
