Remedy-Day 3

Good morning! So last night I went to be around 8:15-8:30. I was so tired/drained. I did my pre-shower dry brushing and boy did it feel good!!! My cycle started this morning so I'll blame the headache I had on that. This morning I juiced cantaloupe because today is melon day.

Issues so far:

Amount of Mega Greens needed vs. shipping efficiency-I am doing the cleanse with my husband. Went through the 1st jar of Mega Greens yesterday. When I messaged him on FB he said that they only ship every two weeks so you should plan for that. If you are doing the entire five week plan (alone), I would estimate that you will need 3-4 containers if you add the maximum amount to your various juices. Another idea would be to see where you are at the end of the cleansing portion and order according to that prior to the 5 week part of the plan. BTW, there is no expedited shipping offered that I know of.

Juicing out of season-So, yea melon is not in season right now. Shoot a lot of stuff is out of season right now so this is really expensive and I'm trying to figure out where this stuff is even coming from. I am treating this like I do cooking. I'll do it as recommended the first time and tweak it to fit the next time.

Amount of water to drink daily-I was already drinking a gallon of water daily. I decided that he must mean that you are to drink a gallon minimum. Maybe my stomach capacity is too large from overeating all these years. Idk, but I'm going to do it his way this time, and as stated above, tweak for my needs the next time.

Size of Mega Green opening vs tablespoon-I know this may sound petty, but whatever. I was a little irritated at not being able to fit my tablespoon in the opening of the jar. If you tell me that all of my measurements are pretty much in tablespoons, shouldn't your jar accommodate a "regular" tablespoon. For all of you culinary artist, I realize that tablespoons come in all shaped, but most of us use the Dollar Store round one. Anyway I just ended up dumping both jars into a mason jar for less waste and time saving.

The Remedy Cleanse-Day 1

First of all I started off wrong. lol I was supposed to have my juice in before 9am. Um, yea, I came out of the room at 10:46am. Now that we've had "true confessions" we can cover what has happened so far. I juiced an entire bag of oranges. 24oz for my husband and myself and about 16oz for my dawta. I added 1tbsp my husband's and mine and 1/2 tsp to my dawtas. The reason that I reduced the amount for my dawta is that she doesn't eat as much as we do so I knew she wouldn't drink as much juice. I didn't know what they Supa Mega Green tasted like at that point so I didn't want to overwhelm her. After that I put 2 tbsp each in our gallon jugs of distilled water. Mari drinks 48oz of water per day so I gave her another 1/2 tbsp in her water.
How does it taste in the juice?
Well with the orange juice it didn't alter that taste. I chose orange juice because it was cheaper. The book does give other juices that you can drink on day 1.

How does it taste in the water?
Green. It doesn't taste like grass or anything. It does have a little ginger added for flavor. I would describe it as clean and green tasting.

What if I can't drink that much water?
Even if you normally wouldn't drink a gallon, you will be able to do it on this cleanse. Remember you aren't eating anything solid for 4 days. A gallon per day of water, green or not, should be your goal anyway. Your body is made up of mostly water when in top condition so you have to replenish that. Also drinking water will help you to lose weight if that is one of your goals.

Why should I do instead of MC in your opinion?
I am only on day one, but I will offer an opinion on this anyway. This cleanse is much more "doable" with a more balanced approach. If you are in an emergency situation, like I was when I did MC, I'd have to admit that it looks to be a much faster flushing option. You may even consider following your 10 days on MC with 5 days of The Remedy. The Remedy offers more variation because of the choice of juices. I also grew tired of the sweet taste of the "lemonade" all day.

That's all I have for right now. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
