We survived

Well we survived our two day cleanse. Boy was it hard, especially when you are cooking and baking goodies for people. But it was worth it to give our bodies digestive systems a break before all the holiday meals. Although, we do recommend you venture into the cleansing world at your own pace and do only what you body can handle. There are books about the Master Lemonade Cleanse, and they are worth checking out. Most people do it for 10 days or longer. We did it for 2 days as our last detox step from going RAW, so please do what is right for your body.

We had a small green smoothie this morning, and so far feel good. Over the two days of the cleanse we both were very lethargic, and now with just a little bit of food we feel so much more awake. Wow! The body is surely an amazing thing, so isn't it a good idea to take care of it?? We think so. You only got one body and one life so treat it nicely and it will return the favor. As you can see we strongly believe in the bodies natural ability to heal itself. I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday season and remember the twins motto: beauty, balance, bliss. Try to enjoy the holidays by eating smartly and never tell yourself no because then you will crave it more. So keep it simple and enjoy everything in small amounts! You will be glad you did. End the year right with trying to limit your intake of cheese, meat, and sugar filled desserts and indulge in more naturally things from the earth -- fruit, veggies, and seeds. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Twins!

Time for a Cleanse - Master Cleanse

Well, since it is getting closer to the holidays Michelle and I decided to do a "mini" cleanse to help clean out our systems! We are doing the Master Cleanse - which is made up of lemon juice, water, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. This is our first day of it. (We got the cleanse idea from one of the books we just finished and love -- Eating for Energy by Yuri Elkaim) But before the cleanse we have been eating mostly green smoothies and salads for the past month which we just love. We crave our smoothies and salads all the time. This is our new focus- eating RAW foods. We absolutely love it! Since the body is a great machine it is up to us to take care of it and why not a better way to do that than through pure, organic raw uncooked foods. Back to the cleanse - it is going ok so far. It is one of the easiest and better tasting cleanses that we have done (and we have done quite a few). We dare all of you try to this cleanse like us for two days and see how you feel. The positive thing about the cleanse is that it gives your body a break from "digesting" and time for it to detox.
