Today was the best day that I have had so far, I am not feeling at all sluggish – but actually after my workout I am starting to get used to this.
One big note and suggestion is to cut all the veggies that you are going to use that day all in one session – it saves time and sets you up to have a snack if you need it.
I am feeling pretty great, at this point I think I have eaten more salad than I did in all of January.
Day 4 – Breakfast
Welcome to Day 4 of the Purification Program.
“Where the determination is, the way can be found.” – George S. Clason
How Should I Feel Today?
If you have been feeling rough the last couple of days we have great news for you. Today should be the beginning of your ‘reward’ for embarking on this intense program of detoxification. The average patient begins to feel more energetic and vigorous on day four. If you have experienced headaches as your body has released toxins, these should lessen in intensity. You should feel your energy beginning to return and surpass your ‘normal’ levels. Many have stated that they begin to experience energy levels that they have not had for many years. As a bonus, you should also find that you are beginning to sleep better at night.
One key point to remember is that everyone detoxifies differently. Some experience headaches. Some experience shoulder or back pain. Some experience an upset stomach. These experiences vary in intensity and duration, but most important to keep in mind is that it is all part of the process. If you experience anything that concerns you, remember that your health care professional is available to discuss this with you.
Weight Loss
The more you sweat, the more you detoxify and lose weight. Remember, this can be achieved through exercise, but can also be enhanced through the use of a sauna, steam room, etc. Whatever you do, don’t try to fast, it can turn down your metabolism and in fact keep you from losing weight.
Reminders
Make sure you are having 1-3 bowel movements each day during the program. If not, make sure that you are drinking enough water. Remember, you should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.
