Hey Everyone!

So for the past couple of weeks, I have neglected you again, sorry. I have had family birthdays, beginning the semester, and best of all JURY DUTY :( I do, however, have some updates for you!


30 day squat challenge: Today is day 22 of the challenge, and so far I am pretty pleased with the results. My butt is definitely rounder and sits higher, which have made all of my clothes look 10x better on me than before. The only regrets I have about the challenge is that I did not start it earlier in the summer and this stinky Baltimore whether has not allowed for a lot of bathing suit time.
***If you fell off the program, start it back up from where you left off, I know you can do it!!
Fat Flush: I loved this drink and wish I could drink it forever!! I did notice that it made me pee, a lot, but that was to be expected. There were some side effects tat I was not expected though. Apparently, as the toxins are be released, your cells go through withdraw from them. My withdraw symptoms included a weird taste in my mouth, itching, and migraines; they all lasted for about 1.5-2 days. After I finished my flush, my weight stabilized around 136.6 lbs and I feel like I have more energy and sleep  better. Overall, I am happy with the results of the flush. 
***Warning, easy on the mint, it can make the taste overpowering. 2 leaves should be enough.

Here is what my jug looked like. It wasn't a full gallon so I filled it up twice a day

2 Week Fat Flush

I hope everyone has made through their hump day well. I have had a few people ask about fat flushes/ detox drinks they could use. While I am not an advocate for flushes like the Lemonade Diet because they do not allow for adequate nutrition, I do believe that every so often it is important for us to jump start our metabolism and clean out of liver so that it will continue to function properly.

The liver plays a primary in removing toxins from the blood as well as fat digestion. A properly functioning liver remove chemicals from the blood, helps to improve medication function, and controls the amount of bile necessary for fat digestion.

A great flush that I have seen recently uses grapefruit as its primary detox agent. Grapefruit helps to make our blood less acidic, increases the liver's functionality, and its fiber helps to remove cholesterol. In order to effectively use this flush, you must drink 1/2 gallon of it daily for 2 weeks. Also, removing things like caffeine, alcohol, and processed sugar for the 2 weeks will make sure that you are not dirtying what your are cleaning.  If you are taking prescriptions please make sure the warning labels say nothing about avoiding grapefruit as it may interact negatively with certain medications 

I will be starting this 2 week fat flush on Sunday (in case you want to start with me) just because it will be easier for me. If you start before, let me know how it is going.
