Training = 5.20 am Quads/Hamstrings + 15 mins tready, 15 mins ellipticalFeeling = The scenario - eat food, guts gurgles, churns and cries loudly, fart constantly long and loudly and very very smelly or end up in pain from holding it in, sometimes get blocked up and backed up, bloated baby like belly, feel like shit, look like shit, get drained easily from worrying about it, eliminate a bit of this and a bit of that with no success, eat them all again and the cycle continues.
The solution - One day, one of your best friends comes over, and discussing the situation and the plan you've thought of, suggests you finally use the chemist bought detox kit which has been sitting on your desk for a couple of months. You get excited and can't wait for morning to execute the attack. But rather than eliminate and omit all the foods you love eg chocolate, lollies, icecream, pancakes, oats and powder; you find substitutes for them. A visit to the organic markets sees you spending $150 on natural whey and soy powders, organic chocolate and icecream with no artificial anything. This is on top of the other $150 you've already spent at the supermarket willing to try new foods which might agree with your body more.
This is what I call a sensible approach to detoxing which doesn't awaken deprivation brain and cleans up your eating at the same time. Yes, it's not a true detox but so far so good and personally I'd rather do it this way than the all or nothing approach which may result in binge territory and having to employ Katie's technique of deconstructing.
