Text of the page (random words):
st the expensive clinique cream i recently stupidly splurged on usually i put on a little make up when it s for going somewhere fancy or evening entertainment today i skip it i feel energetic happy accomplished ready to take on the world not all is great though i m still really cold today but not as much as yesterday and i ve been strangely bloated all day although i didn t eat anything that could cause it except that i ve been drinking too much and way too fast to keep the evil monsters away that tell me that i want to eat not need to want to after a cup of tea and a depressing chilean movie during which my stomach is so loud the woman next to me stares at me with the bes t porteño in town the unthinkable happens again i eat an onigiri not because i m hungry but because eating is fun and that argentine guys is just so wonderfully convincing a few grams of rice and seaweed is my cleans spell now broken my stomach seems happy now my tastebuds somehow it s not a rewarding experience people speak of heigthened senses but the rice just tastes like nothing note to self don t buy any more onigiri in london they re all crap make your own or stick to japan or at least düsseldorf japantown i get back home around 10 pm and keep reading until 3 am still not really tired i force myself to go to sleep definitely not over the moon posted by steffi at 09 52 3 comments day 3 tuesday 12 february i wake up in better spirits but with a funny taste in my mouth and a mild headache i m also a little cold and my back hurts so there is some poison in me after all i manage a few half assed sun salutations and get on the google where everyone agrees that the 3rd day of not eating is the hardest because on this day the body finally switched into self support mode it think it s a really good thing to know that your body just as you are now is able to go on by itself for weeks and weeks a very empowering thought on many levels anyhow i still have this headache and as people advise for any kind of problem during the cleanse have another go with the tiny micro enema surprise an hour later i really feel brilliant except for still being a little cold but to be fair it is a really cold day today at 1pm i lie down for the magical detox hot water bottle over the right side of my belly to help the liver detox and wake up 3 hours later so that s that for going into town today instead i go for a walk around little venice and yes feel a little light headed on the way back i stock up on juice at the sainsburys where lots of ads ask me how would you like your pancake hm pancake when i get back i tackle a project i ve been meaning to accomplish for the last two months mend some clothes and above all figure out if i still really want to wear all that stuff that has been sitting in suitcases for the last two years turns out mending doesn t take that long and yes it all still fits me and i like it after all i cleaned out 90 of my belongings before i first left and it seems things have not changed all that much since as the sun sets my self pity grows into a giant monster that tells me you can stop anytime trying to study japanese doesn t help so i bury myself in a marathon of watching tatort this time the zurich edition but the swiss are not great at doing crime fiction and it doesn t help that every single german show i watch seems to have a carnival theme and people are eating lots of sweets i then turn to the worst thing you can do reading food blogs and checking cookbook reviews on amazon as a consequence the voices in my head get so loud that i nibble on a flapjack from my graze box which is luckily divided into three parts after one third i stop and pity myself and finally fall asleep around 2 am not a good day at all posted by steffi at 09 51 1 comment thursday 14 february 2013 day 2 monday 11 february 2013 i wake up at 7 still or again full of energy it might sound like a total paradox as i m giving my body barely any calories but think of it this way around a third of your body s energy is usually used for digestion pretty ineffective if you ask me when there s nothing or very little to digest that energy is set free and used for a miserable 20 minutes of yoga in which i establish that my upper back and shoulders are tense like those of a 55 year old civil servant this is what happens if you drop yoga for over a year even after 8 years of daily practice more tea and it s back to work which seems to flow much faster than usual my concentration has definitely improved and i get the same amount of work done in 3 5 hours that would usually take me 5 6 hours it s noon and my work for the day is done yet i still don t feel any effects of detoxification after my lunch whole foods parsnip and ginger soup i lie down with a hot water bottle on the right side of my stomach which supposedly helps to expedite the liver functions and flush out all the toxins i can only nap lightly as my flatmate is having an operatic italian crydown with her boyfriend in rome over the phone really i m sure he can hear her well without her shouting into the phone so i flee to tesco to buy some more tea and yes a starbucks espresso at starbucks not tesco caffeine used to be forbidden for any kind of cleanse but recent studies show that a little without the dairy is only beneficial so much for toxic coffee the rest of the afternoon and early evening is spent with another round of yoga another guided meditation and a lot of reading at night i have another scrub and shower and then doubts start creeping in on me i m feeling great but also feel that i have already achieved most of my goals on saturday i wrote down a list of things i want to achieve which seemed crazy at the time 48 hours later all done but i don t seem to be detoxifying why am a doing this plus my feet are really really cold while i plot to break the fast i somehow fall asleep just past 11 pm posted by steffi at 13 34 1 comment labels cleanse wednesday 13 february 2013 day 1 sunday 10 february 2013 so much for fasting when spring is coming london has decided to give me sleety rain instead the first thing i do today is actually clean the flat not cleanse myself then i make myself a cup of peppermint tea and make friends with the mini enema things work out well i have lots of work to do so there is not much time for any intense feel good private wellness or woo woo in between i have a tablespoon of honey by the spoon not in tea it s meant to be therapeutic but mostly it s to prevent your blood sugar levels from crashing which mine love to do and turn me into evil jittery bitch i also cut a lemon the organic ones from sainsburys that go mouldy so quickly into eights and suck on them during the day this is meant to give your body vitamin c and those invisible mini micro nutrients mostly it s good to prevent the taste of well nothing in your mouth you are supposed to create a routine during the cleanse but unless you can manage to not work at all that won t work as much as anybody would love to spend their entire days napping and being massaged with fragrant organic oils so today i quickly make my fasting broth 2 potatoes a carrot a quarter of an onion and two sad looking spring onions are boiled in water for 30 minutes and nope you don t get to eat the veg just the resulting stock which is eaten slowly and meditatively the cleanse gurus say you shouldn t add any salt but medicinally this leads to nothing but a total lack of any taste unless you have issues with your body retaining water then going salt free would be the solution so i add a little bit of salt and pepper presto it doesn t taste half bad so far i don t feel hungry at all but the big challenge awaits i have been invited to meet friends for a matinee of jiro dreams of sushi 1 hour and 16 minutes of sushi when 10 minutes into the film my stomach starts to grumble i have the innocent smoothie i brought along and magically i am not longing to eat all the sushi that ever exists not even when after the film i manage to convince my friends to go to whole foods instead of the pub irishman manages to find the unhealthiest food in the entire shop and chomps down on fried chicken while i have a hot spiced tomato juice which also tastes like the most delicious concoction on earth now as a short online search reveals lots of people actually do eat the veg from their stock pureed really finely so i decide to take two pots of lovingly handmade organic vegan soup home with me as my friends hit the pubs for me surprisingly the hardest part of the cleanse is to say no to much of my london social life which always seems to involve some kind of food or drink wednesday there s a big communal lunch with canadian vegan icon and cook book author sarah kramer and i ll have to miss it food is a massive part of my life i love to buy groceries to look at recipes to cook to eat in or out i even read cookbooks before going to bed but tonight instead of going out in soho i go back home work a little more have a shower scrub all the dead skin cells off my body lather on lots of coconut oil and then try a guided meditation aum surprisingly still not hungry at all i try to go to sleep at 11 pm but am full of energy funny considering i gave my body a maximum of maybe 300 calories all day sometime around 1 am i fall asleep posted by steffi at 12 24 1 comment labels cleanse tuesday 12 february 2013 the big german cleanse day 0 i haven t posted here in a long time and am not sure if anyone is still reading this the big disappointment i will not be posting about food for the next week instead i m writing about not having food for a week for a variety of reasons i m doing a cleanse but not one of the usual crash diets or dr x amazing juice wonder sticking to my roots i m doing a german fast losely based on a german doctor named buchinger who called the thing heilfasten a healing fast literally because it was first used in his clinic for people with chronic diseases but there are many benefits for healthy people and it s very easy to do at home in germany this is not really a woo woo kind of thing lots of people fast for a couple of days or do this type of cleanse in one variation or the other there are no hard and fast rules often twice a year but mostly during lent it s not a method to lose weight you might lose some during the time but it s mainly water and you ll put it back on in no time after starting to eat again will it detoxify my body i m not quite sure the last time i did this i did not experience any of the supposedly typical symptoms of toxins being flushed out of your body e g furry tongue bad breath and general smelliness headaches or dizzyness i was a young and health conscious vegan at the time though with daily yoga and 8 hours of swordplay training in the aikido dojo there s no medical evidence that the body builds up toxins but many people swear the cleans helps do detoxify their bodies especially those with asthma and allergies i don t believe that the body will build up toxins that it s unable to cleanse by itself but let s see if two years of eating animal products have made my body toxic people report about experiencing the fast as a deeply spiritual experience many speaking even likening the feeling to being high again i m not so sure i m not a particular spiritual person though i have no issues with meditation and yoga replace spiritual with psychological and much of this stuff makes sense but really the cleanse doesn t have to be for anything like this i returned to london after almost 2 years of travel and i m happy to be here work is going well my social life is going well yet i feel strangely unsettled have trouble concentrating trouble sleeping eat way too many animal products waste a lot of time on the internet instead of doing things that are important to me that i enjoy and benefit from telling myself all these things doesn t seem to help i work from home and could go out any time but i barely do so my yoga routine has completely disappeared i need a spring cleaning for my mind and it probably won t hurt my body either i need to push the stop button and instead of spending so much time buying food cooking food eating food going out to eat focus on things that are important to me maybe even push the reset button and get a new start i meant to start the cleanse from monday but after a boozy night in a lovely country cottage i don t feel like eating much today maybe a good reason to get started today already day 1 of the cleanse simply a day where you eat lightly with lots of fruit and veg and no or little animal products and get the equipment all ready the equipment hot water bottle and micro enema sexy times i know as your digestion mostly comes to a halt during the fast it s really important that you well cleanse your colon first otherwise you ll keep feeling hungry as your stomach thinks the digestion keeps going and some say the undigested stuff in your gut can lead to re toxification whatever this isn t as nasty or terrible as it sounds many people take epsom salts or similar to create artificial diarrhoea the medical industry has also invented these nifty mini enemas which are as easy to use as a suppository because i refuse to drink something that tastes nasty when drinking is all i will be doing the next days a propos drinks there s no need to get any fancy stuff many people make their own juices but honestly i can t be bothered and use organic proper juices instead what i will be doing myself this time is to cook my own vegetable stock each day but i ve done it with storebought ones before get good quality organic stuff without added sugar or nasties smoothies and very thin finely puréed soups are ok too that s my take on it at least the outline for the fast recommends that you only drink a certain amount of juice and soup but i ll disregard that one if i am not eating i at least want to decide what and how much i m drinking and i don t fancy fruit juice too much anyway so probably won t experience any sugar shock so in addition to fruit and vegetable juices and soup the menu will feature herbal teas water fresh ginger tea plain miso soup and if things get hairy the leftover pumpkin soup in my freezer also lemon for the vit c and against the general taste of nothingness in your mouth my last meal a salad of mixed green leaves cherry tomatoes pumpkin seeds and a tiny bit of drunk goat hard goats chesse next time deborah let s get started p s the girlfriend is worried that i might be starving myself not so they human body can go without solid food for a remarkably long time and with this kind of fast you give your body about 300 calories a day and all the minerals and vitamins it needs unless you are very underweight pregnant or suffer from a severe chronic disease it s perfectly safe posted by steffi at 11 44 9 comments labels cleanse wednesday 9 november 2011 on the move
