The Cleanse: Week 1

The Mediclear cleanse starts today! Friends and I pre-made some veggie purees, soup, bean dip, and beans so that we had some things ready for us to simply pull out of the fridge.

After attempting calorie counting, which I deplore by the way, I see that my smoothies are crazy high in calories, and my portions of rice, beans, etc can be lower. I am going to switch to juicing veggies and use unsweetened almond milk rather than rice milk...120 per cup vs. 40 per cup, how could i not! If i must sweeten something I will use organic maple syrup or agave nectar and it will be noted and accounted for.
