Juice Cleanse & Water Fast

I have completely shocked myself this week.

I am proud to say that I have just undertaken a 3 day juice cleanse then 2 day water fast, then another 2 days of juice!!!

The most shocking part of all was the water fast. Never ever would I have thought that I could do that, but guess what I did and I didn't die!
It was much easier than I thought it would be.

Why did I put myself through this you might ask? Well remember last week I posted about my experience with Anxiety and SIBO? 
I did this to start to repair my gut, eliminate toxins and reduce the bloating, just to name a few.

The water fasting in particular allows the body to go through autophagy, which recycles old broken cells and helps to eliminate them. 
It is extremely important when undergoing any kind of cleanse or fast that you seek help of a professional, as it is not something you can enter cold turkey. There is a lot of preparation work that is involved leading up to the fast.

Like I said it was so much easier than I ever could have imagined and what I have gained from it has been life changing.
My mind is so much clearer, that fogginess has gone. It has challenged my beliefs around how much food we need to eat to survive. And it has improved my self confidence.

From here I am going to continue with an intermittent fasting practice and eat a low FODMAPs diet, due to the SIBO that I'm still trying to kill off in my body.

Much Love x
