Today is Day 4 and I feel amazing! Today's inspiration is Kale (see above photo). This awesome green tastes great in juice and is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C and a good source of Potassium and Calcium. My favorite thing about Kale is that its flavor is so easily masked by apples, so you get a rad green juice that tastes like the most refreshing apple juice ever.
I think I am probably down about 6 pounds. I don't own a scale due to a teenage struggle with disordered eating, but my clothes fit great and my boyfriend can't stop complimenting me.
The most notable aspect of this diet is how much energy I have. Throughout all the research I conducted on the diet, and I kept coming across people saying how energetic they felt and I thought "yeah right, I am going to be exhausted living on strictly juice". WRONG. I woke up this morning at 5am ready to tackle the day. 5 AM! I am usually more likely to still be awake at 5am than waking up to get started. It is truly incredible how amazing I feel. Last night I started exercising again and faced no issues in terms of fatigue.
I can easily say that this has been the best decision I have ever made. I know making it to 10 days will be a breeze. I may continue longer or I may pepper in some solid food, we will see when I get there!
Kale is an awesome vegetable. Did you know you can also make a tasty chips out of it. Just tear kale and place it in a form, sprinkle some oil over it, then salt. And then heat in the ovn a few minutes, until their crispy. Mmmhm.
