So, let me recount my Ease-Out process. And – I survived! Even with some cheating 
So, Day One, as I said before, was filled with organic orange juice and organic vegetable broth. Not too bad, but seriously anxious for real food.
The next day I drank Orange Juice in the morning, but by lunch time I was ready for some substance! We ventured to Whole Foods to see what they had to offer. Their wraps looked amazing, so I couldn’t pass it up. I ordered the Athenian wrap, which had hummus, lettuce, tomato, roasted red peppers, red onion, cucumbers, and feta cheese (LIGHT on the feta cheese – we weren’t supposed to have dairy yet) in a spinach tortilla wrap. It was absolutely delicious – and I didn’t die! Or get a tummy ache. I only ate half (I was STUFFED just after that!). For dinner that night I worked at the Cabaret dinner theater, so I had a small side salad that was leftover with a little bit of raspberry vinaigarette and some toasted french bread. Still no problems.
On Day Three for lunch I had the second half of my wrap (still just as good), and I was again very full after such a small amount of food. That night I had carrots dipped in pine-nut hummus for dinner. And a little of leftover french bread from the Cabaret. No problems, and the digesting seemed to be going well! Jordan and I bought fiber gummies to help the ‘process’.
Day Four consisted of an AMAZING Spicy Vegetarian Chili courtesy of Emeril Lagasse. I call it Spicy (even though that’s not in the name of the recipe) because it turned out that way for me! Still amazing. The recipe created so many servings that I’ll probably be eating it until next weekend. I made it through a half a bowl before I started to feel full. This shrunken stomach of mine is great! For dinner, I worked a double at the Cabaret and we are allowed to order dinner during a double, so I ate the Mediterranean Platter (pita bread, hummus, olive tapenade, and feta). I am not a fan of olives, so double hummus and feta for me! I could only finish the one little ramekin of hummus, because again I was full. It didn’t stop me, though, from having a bite of a sugar cookie during the second show… oops!
Day Five (today!) I ate a bowl of the chili for lunch, and I went out to eat for dinner! Finally! I got Chicken Pad Thai at a local thai place downtown, and though I ate about half of it, I ate more than I thought I was going to eat. I wasn’t expecting to eat meat so soon, but I tried not to eat too much of it. I should of just ordered it without, but ah well. I think in my leftovers I’ll take out the remaining chicken pieces. But, still! Glad to be back to normal-ish again.
The normal ease-out process tends to be a little slower. Oh, and the ‘gaining water weight back’ hasn’t happened to me yet. I weighed myself on Thursday, and I was the same weight I was on Monday right after I finished the cleanse! We’ll see what happens with that. But, I feel great. I’ve gotten more comments on the white of my eyes being ‘whiter’ than normal, and my skin being really clear, and my face has been ‘glowing’. So, all very good things! And, I definitely feel great! Positivity and confidence go a long way, and I’m glad to have inspired other people to follow in my footsteps. I know a few other people who are going to try it, and it makes me very happy to have had a part in their journey to a healthier lifestyle.
