Dr. Oz's 3-Day Detox Cleanse-My results

Hi guys!

On November 12, 2012 Dr Oz shared a 3-day detox cleanse. It’s supposed to reset your hormone imbalance and allow you to loose those stubborn extra pounds. Who can say NO to that? So here’s a quick post with a resume of my experience and my results!

Each day, I enjoyed green tea with lemon in the morning with a raspberry and almond butter smoothie.

For lunch, I drank a green smoothie and for my mid-afternoon snack, I repeated my favorite drink.

What's for dinner? A mix of exotic blend of mango, blueberries and a slash of coconut water (see the website for recipes: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/dr-ozs-3-day-detox-cleanse-one-sheet). And my favorite part: Relaxing in a steamy detox ultra Lavender bath in the evening (hummmm!)

 

Pros

Cons

v     I was not hungry. The smoothies are very filling because of their high fiber content and good fats (coconut oil and almond butter). v     The breakfast and dinner smoothies were good. v     Lost 4,6 pounds (I hope they will stay away)

v     Recipes could be more detailed (1/2 lime with the skin or just the juice in the lunch recipe???) v     They should give us options for substitutions in case of allergies (or other reasons) so I used mangoes in the lunch drink instead of pineapples. v     I don’t know about you but it cost me more than the $16 a day announced on the show) the almond butter was $8.49 the coconut oil was $13.29. I didn’t purchase the supplements to keep the cost down. I wasn’t worried because I have a well balanced diet (with enough Omega 3 and probiotics). v     -The lunch recipe was not my fave…celeries and cucumbers are my least favourite ingredients to add smoothies

I would definitely try this again! I wasn't hungry but the thought of solid food would constantly hunt me! I also tried to drink a lot of water to flush the toxins out. After the cleanse I gradually returned to solid food by doing my kale soup recipe: http://healthycurvesinmtl.blogspot.ca/2012/11/easy-kale-bean-and-tomato-soup.html

Update:              (2 week later) I felt a little constipated after the cleanse (sorry I had 2 share that with you! Lmao) So keep drinking lots of water to keep everything flowing! I resumed my Weight watchers and the following week and did not regain any of the weight!

Did you try this cleanse or any other? Let me know how it went for you in the comments below!

Until next time
