I have recently discovered, with some forceful eye-opening from my colleagues, that I tend to get sick right after I do a cleanse. I am not talking about a little head cold either. I have had Norovirus after my first Blueprint Cleanse and now the flu after a week of the Master Cleanse. Also a few other colds, illnesses and stomach bugs after my other extreme diet choices.
I didn't really believe what they kept telling me - stop fad diets. I always have good luck (and good discipline) when I do something that is extremely strict, impossible to cheat on and provides results! That is the hardest part. They do work! BUT, they are unhealthy! As I was looking back through this blog I found the Norovirus post after the BPC. That really made me take a hard look at this unfortunate trend.
Look, I'm not blaming the BPC for giving me the Norovirus anymore than I think I got the flu because I was on the Master Cleanse. What I think happens is my body shuts down, weakens itself and loses the ability to fight off these viruses!
So what's the conclusion: NO more juice cleanses! Or crazy fad diets - trust me, I've tried them ALL. Back to eating clean and exercising more! It's as simple as that!
Wish me luck!
