Part of detoxing
is keeping the body moving (if you get my drift)...
Dandelion Tea, Dandelion Greens and Chia Seeds are all a part of my juicing now.
I have to be honest - Dandelion Greens are extremely bitter! Nothing a little Pineapple or Mango can't mask though!
For the Dandelion Tea - I drop in a little honey.
My Chia Seeds - I add them to anything "thick" because nothing goes down worse then chunky thick seeds in a nice clear juice!
All this - plus some dieter's tea are helping me remain a happy juicer.

Today is Part II - Day 2 of my Juice Fast. I dropped another pound...
What is really interesting (as I do this self science experiment)... your mind has so much control over what you put in your mouth. On Monday, when I did my day of prep - the hunger and mind games my brain was trying to coerce me to believe were unbelievable! Yesterday was easier. Today was a breeze. No more hunger. Even more intriguing was the lack of temptation!
I'm thinking - and this is a stretch - but, because of all the micro-nutrients, my body sends signals to my brain that it's full. Which also got me thinking... how I'm going to have to be more disciplined after the fasting to make sure I keep my natural nutrient levels up to avoid unnecessary hunger and over-eating.
I'm not for taking pills every day. This is why I've started juicing. I'm not getting any younger. I want to see my grandkids grandkids. That is not a stretch either. My Great-Grandmother lived until she was 109 years old. My Grandfather just passed away earlier this year at 94...there is some longevity in my family.
