I find that when I reduce my intake of caffeine, I have less eczema issues. It's really the only "bad" thing that I consume, too.

I also admire your dedication to concious health.

Cheers!

I've used my own version of homemade lemonade and lemon has worked quite well for an antioxidant. I would recommend lemon as a good natural source for detoxing...:)

Dieting is almost always keeping control – regardless of whether it's about eating or exercising. I have to say that healthy eating is easier said than done. For one thing, in my experience, going into a new diet can be really taxing for the body. I know people who can't sleep or who feel they are starving because they replaced their diets with veggies. And so even though tracking what one eats can be an important part of dieting, it's still a very hard thing to do, especially for beginners. But great job. You've managed to accomplish something that others haven't done.

I too suffered from headaches for the first couple of days, but I noticed that light exercise helps eliminating it.

Hey, Monnie :) I haven't weighed myself in a week (due to being on holidays), but I'll check when I get home. Weight loss wasn't the main motivator for doing the detox, but a long-term goal is to slim down and tone up - which is why I've started exercising again!

Congrats for going so far with it! Have you put that weight back on though?

Thanks, Prisqua :)I'm glad this is working out better for you than it did for me! And I hope you can also make some of the positive lifestyle changes afterwards as well :)

Hey JJ. Not sure if I'm going completely vegan (eggs are in debate at the moment!), but that's kind of the idea. I think it will be good for me to start eating more beans, legumes & pulses, which I've almost avoided entirely over the years. I rely way too much on carbs to fill me up, so this is definitely a challenge to say the least! I wish I liked fish, but the taste is not palatable in the slightest. Very surprising about your cholesterol, though! I had mine checked last year, and it was below average, so no stress there ;)

Thanks, Ash. I've been to see doctors who suggested I stop taking long showers, and also recommended I use solenium solphide to help reduce symptoms. Which is good in theory, but doesn't solve the problem. I want a cure. The only other time it's worked is when I followed the naturopath's instructions and took those remedies. He suggested it could be sugar/yeast reactions. So I'll see what happens as I slowly reintroduce those foods :)

Interesting, thanks for sharing your findings. So you are planning on eating vegan for a while now then, plus no wheat or sugar!? Wow, that sounds pretty difficult as well. I was vego for more than 10 years and I'd have to say that not eating dairy, wheat and sugar would be very hard. When I was vego I found that I ate too much cheese and (veg) fatty sauces. Somewhat shockingly, when I went to the doc I found I had higher cholesterol than I should have, even though I was eating a lot of other sorts of protein for protein balance. I started eating fish more which seemed to help.

Lu, have a talk to a medical doctor (dermatologist) about your skin condition. The most common physiological manifestations of dairy allergies (cheese) are skin conditions similar to eczema.

Oh, and Prisqua - the elimination of alcohol, refined sugars, and caffeine; and increased water intake is the reason for your skin to look good. You should also feel good now because your body is in starvation mode: shutting down all non-essential systems: able to more efficiently break down lean muscle for energy and minimise use of fat storage. You'll feel lighter and better - euphoric even in starvation mode, but you are risking your liver, kidney, and brain through malnutrition. Also, once you finish the 'detox', your body should hoard any food you eat in fat stores, ultimately resulting in less lean muscle and more fat. Isn't this the opposite of what the programme is supposed to do?

Have a read of what I posted on Lu's prologue:

I am on the 6th day of the lemon detox diet. I felt like dying the first 2 days and the headaches were awful until the 3rd I woke up with a headache but as soon as I started to move around it was gone and I felt so good. And everybody keeps complimenting about my skin... not sure why though... My best friend has decided to do it too...
