I finished my seven day detox with relative ease i.e. I didn’t get any headaches or illness, just developed severe boredom of greens and liquid food ! In particular I really didn’t like the Poliquin Medical Food Metallo PX – it really tasted crap. But the others were actually quite nice and I enjoyed having them about 5 x  a day and didn’t go hungry once.

One of the benefits of having so many greens was clearing out my guts and this happened after day 3.Each day my weight fell by about half a kilo. So by the end of the week I had dropped 4 Kg and more importantly I dropped about 4% in body fat as measure by my PT.

Since the Cleanse, I haven’t had any red meat and have continued to stay off all sugars inc fruit, and coffee & naturally, starches. My lean mass is going up as now I’m intensifying my workouts at the gym with my PT.

Today I woke up feeling a bit light headed so I immediately drank a pint of water which helped. After getting the kids breakfast sorted I then started on the Metallo Px Medical Food supplement by Poliquin. This tasted absolutely AWFUL and I must admit I struggled all day to keep this one going. I had a toal of 5 of these drinks, with 3 drinks of phytos and I also added 10g of L-Lglutamine to each meal.

My vegetable of the day was spinach. At work I had to have it raw all day as I couldn’t cook there. When I got home I lightly steamed the spinach and then added some butter. BLISS!!

I can’t face another day of the Metallo so will shift to the other medical food tomorrow.

Head’s a bit achy now and light headed. Going  to bed.

I woke up today feeling pretty good. No headaches, no shakes. I was delighted when I weighed myself today I was thrilled cos I had lost just over 1Kg since yesterday!

My supplement intake was the same as yesterday. However I replaced kale with celery for the day.

Today was a really busy day for me at work with several back to back surgeries which require a lot of mental and physical effort. However, I was able to take my ‘meals’ and hydration in between cases which kept my energy levels up and hunger pans away. For my last surgical case I took about 10 BCAA’s to boost my energy for the 3 hour case!

At the end of the day I felt relieved that I had no headaches, however, they are now just starting to develop, so I’m gonna take an extra meal and more water, then head off to bed after watch Celebrity Big Brother!

Tomorrow I’m doing a new meal – oh joy! And it’ll be spinach all day!
