Annual Detox

Today is the start of my 7 days detox programme.  I chose to do it right after Raya is because I would like to enjoy some good Raya food first and another reason is the school holiday.  Only during school holidays that I have got the time to do the coffee enema in the morning, the programme requires us to do 2 times coffee enemas in a day, one in the morning and one in the evening to achieve best result.

Juicing plays an important part in the detox programme.  Here's the first day of juicing in the office.  Simply refreshing and revitalising.

Almost done

Just a little update on my Detox program.

Today is the 7th day into the program also the last day, is an achievement I must say to myself. It takes a certain degree of will power, self determination, and supports from my love ones for me to complete this program.

During the whole program, the hardest challenge that I experienced was on the 6th day, that's yesterday, I felt the craving for a nice meal is at the strongest after 6 days without the usual solid meals. Making thing worst was knowing that my colleagues went for a Tom Yam lunch treat which is one of my all time favourite food. My mum boiled a nice pot of pickled vegetable soup for dinner which really made me drooling while I was only feeding myself with a bowl of tasteless soft boiled mixed vegetable (should have steamed to retain the taste instead of boiling them. I was starving couldn't wait to eat.) Later at night SIL brought in banana fritters and black forest cake for us, my girls whacked the banana fritters and I have to abstain from eating any, the cake is now frozen in the fridge.

To open fast tonite, I am cooking some multi-grain porridge in the slow cooker as dinner, prefer taking soft food for a start and slowly adjust back to normal meal.

At this point in time, I am very much craving for something salty.......

Lunch time treat

4th day into my Detox program, I had an assorted fruits as my lunch time treat. I do not feel that hungry as thought I would be because there are so much to drink if I follow the schedule strictly. I have been skipping health drinks, tissue building drinks during the day because I do not feel empty or hungry as much. By looking at the schedule (the modified version to suit working people), the number of drinks that we have to prepare and consume is well enough to fill up our stomach and keep us busy all day. That's why there is no feeling of starvation and I still find the energy running around handling most of the stuff these few days. I can feel my belly much flatter now, I am eager to see what's my blood sugar reading after completing the 7-day program.

2nd day of DRP (Detoxification & Rejuvenation Program)

The 2nd day into my Detoxification & Rejuvenation Program (DRP) yesterday, We went for a badminton session in the morning to sweat out. I hardly spare time to do any exercises for a long time, have been busy with work, home chaos and other activities as excuses for that matter.

On the first day of my detox program, I had my blood sugar tested at home, the reading was 6, it is on the high side considering I haven't even taken my breakfast yet, I only had my cleansing drink (1 tablespoon each of Apple cider vinegar, honey and herbal cleanse powder) prior before that. Imagine my sugar level could be much higher after breakfast at normal days which I usually have meehoon, noodles, bread or cakes, and have one or two packets of 3 in 1 drinks during the day.

I am on purely vegetable and fruits diet in this program, hopefully this will bring my blood sugar down to the ideal level. Though I am on a special diet, my family meals are not neglected, I still cook normal meal for them and I bring my own steamed vegetable with me when we go out for meals so they are not affected in any way.

Steamed fish and

meat, potatoes and carrots for my family

steamed potatoes, carrot and vegetable for me

and have bananas in between meals

Annual Detox and Rejuvenation

It has been more than a year since I last did my Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP). After much delay, I finally put a date to do my annual DRP maintenance on the form to claim for a free set of DRP products from the Company.

I took home these set of health products yesterday and ordered some fruits and vegetable needed for the programme which I have planned to start next week for 7 days, it's going to be a long week because I can not eat like what I normally do, mind you I am a food lover thus a big eater, luckily I love fruits and vegetable or else it would be even tougher for me because lot of fruits and vegetable (preferably organic) are the main diet throughout.
Last year, healing crisis set in right after I completed the DRP programme, hope it won't be so bad this time. It is not easy to complete the whole 7 days program unless I am mentally and physical ready, that is the main cause of the delay in starting my yearly maintenance detox programme. :D, Well, I am all ready to roll now to a healthier me in 7 days.

Preparation - Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)

I guess some of you might be wondering what the DRP I am talking about, I should have posted this before I even started with my DRP 6 days ago.  But all is not too late, right?

After the live blood test, the result got me worried about my overall health. I told myself that by hook or by crook I have to start the DRP programme as soon as I got the free package of the DRP set which was given free to me as staff on an annual basis by the company that I work.  Together with my two other colleagues, I started with the programme 6 days ago, mentally ready of course.  Besides having the DRP set in place, there are certain vegetable and fruits that I have to get ready before starting the programme.  Basically the whole programme put us on a very strict diet, only fruits, vegetable and supplements are allowed.

The Hippocrates soup

These are some of the fruits and vegetable recommended in the programme.  The carrot and apple are for juices.  Celery, onions and potatoes together with tomatoes, leeks, garlic to be cooked into Hippocrates' soup as meals throughout the 7 days.  I got bored of the soup on the 3rd day that I replaced my meals with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes and fruits instead.

I made 6 containers of yogurt as part of the meals to be taken together with flaxseed oil

I have been coping well with the strict diet with no much temptations to break the fast, it would be a challenge if I am a meat eater, glad that I am not.

The boiled and let cool to body temperature coffee enema mixture  

I was a bit worried on carrying out the coffee enema at the beginning, luckily I managed it quite well from the 3rd day onwards where I found a comfortable place to do it, that is, the bedroom, even with Pearl coming around again and again to check on me, and asked "mummy, you do the "emema" again?".

There is still one more day to go to complete the programme.  I have been asked what I feel like having for my first meal right after this programme, my answer was, Laksa flavour Maggi Mee, hahaha...just kidding.  I would go for porridge so that my stomach will not be shocked after 7 days without solid food.

Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)

I am into Day 5 of the 7 days Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP), I am amazed how this programme works, I already felt the cleansing taking effect on the 4th day, I guess the cleansing effect could have been faster if I were to do 2 coffee enemas a day as recommended. I have been on 1 coffee enema a day due to time constraint.

This programme is easier to follow than I first thought especially on the coffee enema part which I did not feel at ease with initially. I finally got myself comfortable doing it in the bedroom than in the bathroom before taking my shower and dinner. I did the coffee enemas in the bathroom for the first 3 days in the morning which I find very uncomfortable lying on the bathroom floor for one thing and also the need for the morning rush has deterred me from carrying out a proper coffee enema which usually takes up to 15 minutes at least.

I am a bit tired today could be because I have had very little solid today than the previous 4 days. Got bored with the hippocrates' soup since the 3rd day and the urge of eating solid is not there anymore, moreover, my stomach is filled with cleansing drink, tissue building drink, health drink and juices most of the time.

There will be 2 more days to go to complete the whole programme and I am happy with my progress so far.

I will post more about it in my coming posts.
