Yes, Lance is a great friend. Oh, I'll have to check out your site and read about your experience. Yes, it was a great week, one I will remember for a long time! Hey Karl - I HIGHLY recommend it. It was just the challenge I needed to push me out of my comfort zone and get the clarity I needed. Hi Farnoosh – Thank you for stopping by! Yes, Lance is a great friend.

There are some days that I don't feel clear about my goals. I can see how food would play a big factor in thinking clearly. Food is basically a chemical reaction within us. The higher the quality of food that we eat the more it will improve our ability to think. I need to try out a cleansing method such as this on.

I absolutely LOVED it. Good luck. You are on to something great!

I knew it was a sign of something...I just didn't know what...my body was cleansing, and this week was the final push. I still hope that if/when we meet in person, we can find the strength to "cloud" ourselves with a little ice cream! Evita - the rest did get easier, and I wasn't hungry anymore, never felt full. It was an incredible experience...and yes, one that made sense! Hilary - I found that even with exercise, my body didn't need as much food "as I thought". Freeing...it is important to listen to your body, we all need different things for sure! TIM - Thanks for leaving a comment! Yes, cleansing takes on many forms...so happy to hear you are at peace (kayaking is definitely more peaceful and relaxing!) Megan – I was ill in March…first time in 4 years!

Within the experience I was obliged to liquidate a lot of personal property as well as live on a smaller budget. I have found a peace that came with it. I no longer feel burdened by "stuff" (both real and mental). The feeling is akin to selling a power boat and all that goes with it (gas, insurance, registration, maintenance, etc.) and being left with a kayak. The kayak, albeit less glitzy.. brings both peace and quiet (real and imagined). I had fear of the unknown... but now that fear has turned to strength. I am at peace and so happy that I was able to do this while the sun still shines. Great article Stacy. Thanks. I may try it out soon!

I haven't cleansed .. but I did find out early in life that I can't eat breakfast or lunch .. I just slug up .. and the brain is hopeless .. obviously I eat - fruit for breakfast, and salad (very little if any protein) for lunch - even when I was playing squash 5 times a week .. then a supper - healthy food though and not too much red meat or meat. I am letting go of lots of things at the moment .. I know if I don't follow the way of eating that suits me .. I'm finished for the day - so I try always and be sensible during the day .. it works and I always feel fine & am really never ill .. Well done .. it's interesting to hear other ways of doing things .. lots of water too .. have a good weekend .. Hilary Bother .. just typed a long post and it zapped it!

Congrats Stacey! This all sounds wonderful and I love that you gave such a cleanse a go. I have heard of lots of different cleanses...never really tried one myself. Although in many ways I think my dietary lifestyle is a cleanse in itself each day. But one thing I do want to do, is keep going more raw. I started sprouting some beans in the fall and it was pretty good, but fell back on more cooked veggie/grain dishes throughout the winter. Anyhow, as for this cleanse, what I loved about it, is that it is perhaps the first cleanse that makes sense! I have heard of lemon-water cleanses and cleanses that involve chicken and neither one of those sounds like a great cleanse to me. And I so agree with how our emotional outlook changes based on the foods we eat. It is amazing really when one has a chance like you to uncover themselves deeper than every before and get to know what some foods are actually masking for us. Way to go and I am sure the rest will be a breeze :) Woo-hoo! Congrats Stacey!
