Passover is supposed to be a time of physical and spiritual cleansing - but is it? If you know what I do for a living, you will appreciate how tempted I was to insert something here about the nutritional cleansing that I help people with. But I will refrain. If you want to know more … Continue reading #blogExodus 3: Cleanse

30 Day Challenge: The Cleanse
My quick-witted readers will have noted that I have now moved beyond the 30 day limit. Heck, I'm just doing another 30 days, why not? It's doing well for me. I'm not going to be doing this forever, but for now it is working. Yesterday I did a complete cleanse day for the first time … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: The Cleanse
30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
Well, the second cleanse day of this thirty-day challenge came and went without much fanfare. I was remarkably hungry in the morning, probably because I'm still struggling with my carbs-at-night habit, sigh. But I did OK with my Cleanse for Life and lots of water, largely thanks to my friend Sarah Khan, who has started … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One
So, it's been seven days since I started this challenge. I've had a cleanse day and a Shabbat, a kettlebell class and lots of walking. Ups and downs. First of all, a report on numbers.

This bag of peppermint tea was my absolutely best friend yesterday. I did survive the cleanse on Tuesday quite happily. I will admit, however, that as I … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: The Empire Strikes Back
30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
I did it! I survived an entire day on very little more than Cleanse for Life, water and chocolate. I was not particularly hungry. I even went for an hour-long walk! For anyone who is suspicious of this cleanse as being a diuretic, a laxative or worse, I can report that I am not the … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
So, I've had the first two days of my 30 day challenge. They were both shake days, meaning that I replaced two of my meals (breakfast and lunch) with shakes. For snacks and dinner, I had nuts, fish and veggies, just as I would have on the SCD diet. I jazzed up the bland shakes … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
