Posted 05.10.2020
Did we finish the detox or quit two days short? We finished, of course! I’m just a lazy blogger! In this post I’ll talk about the last two days, how we felt reintroducing foods, as well as things we wish we would have known and whether we will do this again. On day 9 the […]

Made it to day 8 and now we can start reintroducing foods! We started by adding back our green smoothies and mango with our chia pudding. The rest of our diet stayed the same, except the Dynamic Detox drink went down to 3 times, which is what we’ve been doing. Surprisingly we did have some […]

It’s the 7th and final day of the restrictive phase of the Dynamic Detox and I woke feeling fantastic!!!! No headache, no brain fog, and lots of energy. I’m so relieved. Grady has been a little tired today and when he tried to make a second cup of coffee he forgot to put his cup […]

This is the second day of the restrictive phase of the detox. We are waking up pretty easily these days which is welcome. I woke up with serious brain fog, but it seems to be easing up as the day goes by. Grady has not had any brain fog, but I’m wondering if it’s because […]

It’s day 5 and guess what friends? I’m feeling it, I actually feel like I’m on a detox. It’s not horrible but I’m tired and have massive brain fog. It’s okay, I was starting to feel suspicious, it was feeling too easy. I slept well but lightly, no more brain revving, and have been waking […]

Day four! If you remember yesterday I was having that weird revving brain thing and my plan was to get more exercise today which I did. I started with the rebounder for 12 minutes in the morning and then went inline skating in the afternoon. I was definitely tired in the afternoon but it wasn’t […]

Day three felt pretty smooth. Our food choices remained the same, however I didn’t realize that nuts and seeds, dairy alternatives, sweeteners, and protein sources other than fish and legumes are to be avoided on days 3-4 until just now! I plan on doing a blog post at the end of this on my mistakes. […]

Recipe: Indian Spiced (Kheer) Chia Seed Pudding
Posted 09.09.2020
I’m a big fan of Indian rice pudding, sweet and creamy with a hint of rosewater and saffron. Grady and I backpacked around India in 2001 and had the best food especially during the 4 days we spent on camels camping in The Great Thar Desert on the border of Pakistan. Here’s a snapshot of […]

Well we survived day 2, it was easy! Kind of like saying “I survived drinking this bottle of champagne” (not quite that easy). As I mentioned yesterday we did wake up with headaches but they went away after a glass of water. Day 2 starts the actual product so we were excited/apprehensive to see what […]
