Detox please!



Recommended Posts

I am looking for some good detox recipes out there. Soups. smoothies. I'd like to stay as organic as possible withe recipes.

I am still losing steadily, however, incorporating certain goods back into my like has awakened the sleeping dragon and I'd like to focus on lulling her back to sleep.< /p>

I think several days of dedicated detoxing in a healthy nutrient rich way would be best.

In addition to kickstarting a detox regimine, I would like to cut back, and ultimately eliminate, caffeine. I've stocked up on my decaff green tea.

I don't know what you mean exactly by detox. I make all of my own Soups using natural ingredients such as Soup bones, freshly chopped veggies, herbs grown in my yard, soaked and then boiled Beans, barley, and so on. I just make different soups out of what I have with no set recipes. I will sometimes use a recipe for something like french onion or cream of carrot, but otherwise I just add a ton of fresh veggies to whatever base I want, add herbs and spices, then eat.

I will have to admit that I have never had a smoothie. :o

recipes that will safely inspire elimination. Flush out the system.

I've read it can help get one through sugar/carb withdrawal.

Hey Amanda, Oh She Glows (vegan lifestyle blog) has a few detox smoothie/juice recipes. I can't figure out how to put a link in here from the mobile app, but the one I have in mind was posted on 9/3 (if you go to the "Popular" tab it should pop up on the first page so you don't have to scroll through). She sources a book in her post, "Healing Foods," that may have some good ideas too? Let me know if you try it!

Are you going to be juicing? Or a combo of things?

I've got a list of various detox Soup recipes that are designed to get things moving and help one get past the carb/sugar withdrawal.

Many complain during the Protein shake phase of gagging on shakes but it was so much easier to make good decisions when we had no options!!! Lol

Yes how's it going today?

So far, so good. I made a large pot of the WW cabbage/veggie Soup and portioned it out. I have my fresh fruits and veggies packed.

I found an Asian inspired WW veggie Soup I plan to make and portion out. I'm hoping this will help break the easy carb/slider behavior that was creeping back into my life.

It is not a problem yet, but it can/will be if I don't nip it in the bud now.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
