I just want to say firstly, while I naturally lost weight during this, I didn't do it specifically for weight loss. This was about cleansing my insides. If you don't already know, I am studying Naturopathy, and strongly believe in the healing powers of nature over chemical based pharmaceuticals. However, I had a pretty bad bacterial infection a couple of months ago and had to be on an extremely strong dose of antibiotics. I'm talking, one of the strongest antibiotics there is, 2000mg a day for 3 weeks. Because antibiotics kills all your bad AND your good bacteria, my immune system was left extremely weak and fragile. I jumped onto the probiotics straight away, but my immunity didn't build up in time, and I got a viral infection and pharyngitis over Christmas. Now, being a singer and performer, getting sick just isn't an option for me, because regardless, I have to perform my shows once they're booked. That's the tough life of showbiz. So I have a home call doctor come out on Boxing Day to check me out and prescribe me antibiotics so that I would have time to recover before my NYE show. Another 2 week course of a strong antibiotic, 2000mg a day. My immune system just hasn't been the same since, so I decided I really needed to do a detox before I go back to full time study and give my body a little head start in the healing process. My housemate Bonnie said she'd do the juice detox with me so I was super excited not to have to do it alone, because lets face it, I would have probably given into temptation had I done it alone.
