3-Day Cleanse - Day 1

The day after my birthday, I started on a 3-day cleanse.  I'll try to keep this post short and to the point.  My first cleanse was at a Tony Robbins event over 10 years ago. It was intense. I was in top shape back then racing mountain bikes as an expert and I was way younger. Even though I hated that cleanse, I learned a lot from it but didn't pick it back up until about 4 years ago.  I started cleansing 1-2 times a year and the past 2 years I've been cleansing 2-3 times per year.

Why do I do it?  I do it mostly for health benefits.  In those health benefits, there's more energy, better focus, fat burning (I don't need to lose weight), anti-inflammatory, better skin, and other benefits. Cleansing and detoxing is a great way for me to press the reset button.  I'm basically resetting my body and giving it a clean slate.  I like to do it when I'm going to start a new training plan. It gives me a kick start to my "semi-strict" nutrition plan. It gets me into "fat burning" mode very quickly. And I just feel great overall.

This cleanse is a little different from other cleanses I've done, but it's similar in many ways.  This cleanse is focused on anti-inflammation.  Almost everything I'm eating and drinking has anti-inflammatory properties.  The interesting thing is that the supplements I'm using on this cleanse, I already take them daily. So let me get into day 1.

***Throughout the day I had a ton of water.  I had over 80 ounces of water. Drinking tons of water is probably the most important part of a cleanse/detox.

Morning
1 glass of water with lemon (squeezed half a lemon)
1 full dropper of CBD (I've only been taking this a few weeks)
1 tablespoon of liquid collagen
1 scoop of More Greens
2 Essential fatty acids (omegas)
2 Essential amino acids (2 grams of my aminos is the equivalent to 18 grams of protein) I'll explain in another post. So I won't lose any muscle during these 3 days.
2 Multi-vitamins
2 Protease

Lunch
2 scoops of the Power Shake - It's basically greens but it's like a vegan meal replacement

Afternoon before my 1 hour spin on the bike
1 scoop of More Greens
1 tablespoon of Apothe Cherry
1 full dropper of CBD
2 Essential fatty acids (omegas)
2 Essential amino acids
2 Multi-vitamins
2 Protease

After my bike spin
2 scoops of the Power Shake

Before bed
Concoction of teas - Arnica, Moringa, and Ginger/Turmeric
1 Probiotic

What you see in the picture above is what I ate and drank all day, plus a bunch of water.  I don't feel hungry. I believe it's because I'm used to fasting.  But I feel great.

Day 2 and 3 are different than day 1.  I'll give you details on the next post.
