Day 1: The Ease-In

Morning Weight: 150.5
Evening Weight: 149.5

Meals - 
Lunch: Spinach, Yellow Bell Pepper, Tomatoes, Calamansi, Cranberry Juice (pictured above)
Snack: Watermelon and walnuts
Dinner: Spinach, Vegetable Broth, Ground Pepper, Half an avocado

In hopes of successfully doing this cleanse, my friends and I decided to opt in the 3 day ease-in and 3 day ease-out before the 10 days of the actual cleanse.

Day 1 is supposed to be easy, and in reality, it was.  Just fruits and vegetables (also known as the living diet).  I didn't get too hungry, and I was definitely able to stick to the vegetable and fruits diet, despite my parents wanting to go out and eat at some of my favorite fast food restaurants.  I think what made this day easy for me was the fact that I didn't have work.  I will probably be singing another tune on Friday when I go back to work.

As for my food and their taste...can't say much.  I do enjoy spinach and tomatoes and bell peppers, but usually I enjoy it drowning in ranch or thousand island dressing.  Since I couldn't do that, I decided to try spritzing the flavor with some calamansi, a tropical citrus fruit, somewhere between a tangerine and a lemon.  I didn't mind the taste too much, but citrus fruits do not grab on spinach the same way dressing does.  For dinner, I had an organic vegetable broth.  It tasted terrible!  The soup I was eating tasted like the water you use to clean your vegetables.  In hopes to give it some flavor, I threw in some spinach and pepper, but it didn't help much.

I don't really think the fact that there was a difference in my weight from the morning to the evening as something significant, especially since we do fluctuate our weight throughout the day.

The only thing I really struggled with was a light headache in the evening, and I had a horrible craving for munchies, mainly...I really wanted cheese (not sure why).  Whenever I got the munchies, I just drank water, which didn't really ease anything, but kept me busy.

So far so good, I think...
