Days 4-8: David Kirsch Wellness Detox My grand initial plan was to transition from the juice cleanse to David Kirsch's Wellness Detox program because it would allow me to slowly integrate food. However, since I ate while I was supposed to be juicing, I tossed that plan out the window.
This detox kit comes with three kinds of powders: an a.m. detox made mostly of fruit extracts, powdered greens, and a hefty packet of protein powder. I taste-tested the three powders and decided that I wouldn't be able to stomach a grape-flavored detox every morning, so I concocted my own breakfast shake made out of a little of each powder, some almond milk, and ice. (I know, I know, this is not how the detox is supposed to be done.) Then, for lunch and dinner I followed Kirsch's food protocol: lots of greens and veggies and a small portion of lean protein (usually chicken or salmon).
After five days, I was bored senseless chugging this concoction, but I felt fantastic -- de-puffed, slimmer, and energetic. (Full disclosure: I never gave up my morning coffee, which may have helped on the energy front.)
