Ellwood Thompson’s Blog

I am on day 4 of my 25-day cleanse program with Flor-Essence. So far, everything is going really well. I had a dull headache for 3 days along with some brain ‘fog’ which is typical during your first week. I’ve been eating really yummy, unprocessed meals like steamed veggies and rice, salads, ‘power smoothies’, goat cheese, egg salad, hummus, raw fruits and veggies, yogurt, granola, nuts, etc. These are foods that I normally consume but, being a student and full-time Ellwood Thompson’s employee, I probably don’t eat as much of. Having little time to prepare meals, I ate a lot of bagels, coffee, pizza, sugar drinks, and not-so-good-for-you soy products. Only 4 days in to my cleanse, and I’ve already been way more aware of all the preservatives and sugars that were in the foods I was eating.  I feel clearer, more energetic, and my blood-sugar has been really level for a change. Flor-Essence has been my favorite cleanse so far because it’s been easy to stick to, it’s really gentle on my stomach, and it’s forcing me to stop and think more about what I’m putting in my body and taking the time to appreciate the nutritious food. I will write more later… Alissa
