This morning officially ends my “5 days- all juice- all the time” cleanse. Woohoo! Results: Lost 7.8 lbs, in 5 days. Wow. (For more information on the actual benefits of losing water weight, check out on of my previous posts here). Matt lost 7.2 lbs. Not too shabby. I feel great! Matt feels excellent too, [...]

The results so far: I’ve lost almost 7 lbs in 4 days (6.6 lbs so far, if you want to be exact) and expect to probably lose another 1/2 lb tomorrow morning, after my final full day of juicing today. The weight loss has slowed down considerably. I lost 3.4 lbs after the first day, [...]

Juice Cleanse: Day 4

Why “water weight” loss is good for us: My friend and colleague over at Hadley Holistics posted a comment on my post from yesterday, brilliantly pointing out why water weight loss is actually considered a good thing (contrary to what most of us dismiss as not “real” weight loss). I have lost 6 lbs in [...]

What you really want to know: In the past 2 1/2 days of cleansing, I lost 5.2 lbs and Matt lost 5 lbs. That’s a LOT of weight in a very short amount of time, and most certainly almost all water weight (most of which I imagine will come right back on post-cleanse). My clothes [...]

Juice Cleanse: Day 2

We survived the night! I went to bed feeling a bit hungry, but not terribly starved. Matt and I both had a hard time falling asleep last night, which is relatively unusual for both of us. Could it be the boundless energy that’s building in us from the release of toxins?? Or perhaps the wired [...]

As a friend and former-client said to me this morning, “Good luck, weirdos.” (For the background story behind this cleanse, check out my previous article: 5 Days. All Juice. All the Time.) The details: [...]

I like to cleanse several times a year, and as we approach the end of the summer (sniff!), I decided it was time to detox myself after a summer of consuming many delicious impurities. (Barbecues, pies, and summer cocktails, anyone?). By avoiding foods that are difficult on our digestive system and replacing them with foods [...]

Farm Market Crisp

My dear friend Lorene and I have known each other since we were 15 years old. Back then we used to come home from school and raid each other’s fridges, piling our plates high with chips and cookies, processed foods and junky snacks. Shortly after college, we both began to get more health-conscious. Lorene was [...]
