28 days of detox

I am actually in the count down days of ending my 28 days of detox. Honestly it has not been as bad as I would have thought.
I will tell you that days one and two were horrible. I felt sluggish-and a horrible migraine from no caffeine. I did cheat a little on day two and took two headache pills. Day 3 was almost an Epiphany.
I felt good, not energized but good. I sleep through the night now, and wake up by 7 am with out an alarm ready to begin my day.
Each morning I start off with a cup of hot water with a dash of cayenne pepper. I now also add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime.
There is a smoothie style drink that I get to drink twice a day, and array of supplement's.
However I have not craved bread or chocolate, or drooled over coffee. For the first week, I drank one cup of the broth from green beans, spinach, and parsley. You may think awful, however it was not so bad. It had a silky smooth texture and almost a buttery taste-in a good way. It was called an alkaline drink.
Fish was alternated from tilapia to salmon. And berries in the morning.
When the weather was permitting, I would ride my bike. I've worked up to 2 miles.
I don't feel deprived by any of the foods that is not on my list. Maybe that is the key to a long detox, in addition to taking out the bad toxins it is also removing any food cravings.
I have added quoinoe pasta but only once a week-served with veggies and sauteed tomatoes. Lots of garlic and herbs. The only potato I've had was a sweet potato, blended into a soup. Which was thick and creamy.
So if thinking of a diet, detox is probably a good thing. And no frozen entrees.
