Fasting Day 3

Exercise: Light Stretching, Walking, Light Yoga
You’re almost there. You’re on the last day of the hardest part of your cleanse. Tomorrow you’ll be able to eat but not necessarily everything you want. You have to understand that your stomach has shrunk and you want be able to pile your plate as you once did.
We suggest you go shopping today and buy the things you will need for the next couple of days. Spend most if not all of your time in the produce section. Purchase fruits and vegetables that you’re craving and stand out to you. You’re body knows better than you do most of time.

This should get you started. The point of this is too eliminate toxins and common food allergies. If you want to add things in like tomatoes, peppers, eggs, strawberries, or if you have a question about a particular food, come by to get tested for food allergies.
Herbal teas are extremely helpful during the cleanse. Red clover is good for systemic detox but shouldn’t be used by those who have grass allergies. Milk Thistle cleans the liver. Mint will calm a stomach cramp and aid digestion. Senna will stimulate a bowel movement but should only steep for a minute or two. There many more out there that are helpful but these are the one I use most frequently.
More tomorrow, hang in there!
