10 Day Detox

Hello everyone I have just completed a 10 day smoothie detox. I did this detox to support my Dad who wanted to try it. We had two choices we could go with the hard core 10 day detox or the modified 10 day detox. We decided on the hard core one.The difference between the two was the hard core one said to drink 3 smoothies a day(72 oz), with some healthy snacks here and there. The modified one would of only been 2 smoothies(48oz) with 1 healthy meal.
      Now for me I found this 10 day detox very hard, because I was no longer eating any meat or carbs. I eat veggies and fruits all the time, but now they were my main source of food. For the snacks I was allowed unsalted cashews, and hard boiled eggs, and any veggie or fruit I wanted. Not so bad to begin with in the first couple days, but by day 7 I was tired of eating those items. 
    I know my Dad actually came out pretty good after this 10 day detox. On day five he suggested we go to the modified version of this detox. I shut this idea down immediately, because I told him that we said we were going to do the hard core one so we should follow through with what we started. I said I was not switching, but if he wanted to he could. For obvious reasons he did not switch to the modified.
    During the 10 days I found myself to be very tired and had absolutely no energy. When we did our I Ho Chuan class with the first time practice demo I was very light headed and felt very weak after each time I did my form. I realized something later that the title on the book also said how to lose weight without exercising. I now realized I was not getting enough nutrition to properly be active. The book did say I would feel fatigued, but I was sometimes I was just sleeping at 1:00 PM for like 3 to 4 hours. I still tried to remain active, but whenever I tried I got worse. I was not hungry, but I was definitely weak. 
   Now that I am done the 10 day detox I would have to say it really worked in the sense that I feel cleaner. Would I recommend others to try it? I would say yes. For this whole 10 day experience I did read some of the book myself, but I mainly was doing this to support my Dad. If I read the book better I think I would of had a better experience. I know me and my Dad did not read it well because we did not realize we were allowed snacks until day 2; not bad but we went with nothing but 72 oz of smoothie for a whole day. Now that I read this last sentence it really sounds super trivial, but I will leave it on :) 
  Anyways I am now currently on the track to eating solid foods again, but healthier. I also got to become a little more closer to my father in all of this and I am truly happier for that. Oh and by the way I started this 10 day detox weighing 228 lbs and now I weigh 212 lbs. So I lost 16 lbs in 10 days the 10 day detox definitely works, but how people go through those 10 days will vary from person to person.
   So I think this is everything I want to say for now so remember everyone stay extraordinary.
