Re: switching up and oh man do i have questions...........

Wow French, I just had to jump in and say GOOD FOR YOU!! It will be SO WORTH IT!!! You will have such a higher quality of life when you are healthy and free from all of your addictions. I only did the Master-Cleanse for 4 days - but it got me off of caffeine and I feel so much better! But you are in for a tough week. I wouldn't be surprised if you detox HARD (like I did) and wind up with flu-like symptoms. If you do, just push through it. There is a good story in one of the Bragg books about a woman who was addicted to coffee, cigs, alcohol. Well, he let her have a little as needed and eventually her body rejected the substances. As your body gets cleaner, you just wont want to pollute it anymore. I think this is probably what happened with you. My guess is that all the fasting you have been doing has caused you to look inwards and decide that you want to be truely healthy from the inside out. Regarding coffee (my nemesis) I have found that since I have been off it - I don't crave Sugar as much. I think the caffeine spiked my blood Sugar and lead to cravings. Which is interesting because I always thought that it helped to suppress my appetite. Well, just wanted to say I'm rooting for you!!!!!
