I woke up this morning with no headache (yeah me) but the marching band that was previously practicing in my head now seemed to be doing laps in my stomach. At 6am my stomach started gurgling, churning and making tribal noises; no doubt a testament to the laxative tea and absence of food.
I mention the laxative tea I drank last night because shitting is a big part of this detox. I will now attempt to explain the premise behind 'shitting yourself skinny and healthy':
Apparently, your body is completely obsessed with digestion - 80% of your body's resources (blood flow, oxygen intake, etc) are tied up with digesting the food you eat. The lemonade contains all the nutrients and calories your body requires to sustain itself in an easily digestible form: liquid. Because you aren't eating food to be digested, your internal bodily resources are "freed up" to aid repair and healing in areas that were previously being ignored or not getting enough help. Now, the toxins that have built up in your body as a result of years of eating fertilized and processed food, need to be flushed out - and this is how the shitting part enters (rather exits) the equation. Taking a laxative tea morning and night AND drinking a salt water flush ensures your pipes keep pumping out the bad stuff.
So far I think my pipes need some more convincing. Seems my body regarded last night's laxative tea as only a 'suggestion' and besides a few stomach rumblings, has decided to ignore it. I will drink another cup this morning along with a shot of the salt water flush.
Cancel all my appointments, I'm staying in.
