"...Here's a comment I received via email:<br /><br />"Hi! Just read your blog posts about the juice cleanse. I'm not surprised that you crave actual food. That's one of the things that's bothered [name removed] the most since his inability to eat anything solid. He misses the feeling of having solid food in his stomach. Even though he drinks enough smoothies or soup to be technically "full", he never actually feels "satisfied."<br /><br />I'm not sure I understand juice cleanses. While I get the idea behind it, I personally don't see what's so horrible about craving (and eating!) a banana. It certainly can't be considered a toxin. I know it wasn't what you were trying to do, but I don't view eating something healthy as "caving in." I would think that if you're feeling that sluggish, your body is telling you that it needs more than what you've been giving it. Just my 2 cents!<br /><br />BTW, I think the movie you were referring to might be Soylent Green."<br /><br />Here was my response:<br /><br />Yes I had thought of [name removed] both times I did these cleanses, actually. And you're absolutely right, bananas aren't toxic! :-) There is discipline required to do a cleanse that's much more of a mental and emotional exercise, and that is actually more of what I like about them. (Perhaps I should have written more about that--next time!) Cleanses invite me to really feel into my desires and breathe through discomfort, which is helpful for not just around food but for life!<br /><br />And yes, that sounds like the movie the man was referring to! :-)Kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506863612870635287noreply@blogger.com
