Ok, so my cleanse is over.\u00a0 Admittedly, I was more than ready for the last of it to come.\u00a0 It is so much more pleasant to begin a day with a steaming hot cup of coffee than a cold glass of water, herbal capsules, and a glass of sandy drink.\u00a0 Yes, I do not miss that.<\/p>\n

To recap, this was a Dr. Natura Colonix <\/a>cleanse which is a combination of the herbal capsules, powdered herbal drink mix, and lots and lots of water taken daily over the course of 30 days.\u00a0 You can read here my first <\/a>and second <\/a>installments while on the program.<\/p>\n

Since there really were no majorly apparent effects during the cleanse, I really didn\u2019t expect to notice any after the cleanse was finished.\u00a0 Surprisingly, I do feel different this week than I have over the past month.\u00a0 I am reminded of how tired I was feeling pre-cleanse and I do feel clogged up and weighed down.\u00a0 Granted, I did pick up a cold over the weekend and, with last week being fall break and Halloween, it is difficult to estimate what is from that and what is from no-more-cleansing.<\/p>\n

It got me thinking \u2013 should I do another course of the cleanse?\u00a0 Am I not \u201ccleaned out\u201d enough yet?\u00a0 You can do the program for a total of 60 days depending on how detoxed you want\/need to get.\u00a0 Dr. Natura just suggests a 5 day down time in between the two 30 day rounds.<\/p>\n

Currently, I am reviewing some other options.\u00a0 A raw food detox presented itself for the month of November, but I am reluctant to take that on during the cold and windy season.\u00a0 And there is always Kitchari<\/a>, an Ayurvedic means of doing some light detox.<\/p>\n

Gwyneth Paltrow covered the subject of sugar addiction in her latest edition of GOOP<\/a>.\u00a0 Over-consumption of sugar (don\u2019t know if we need to go with addiction here) is something that a lot of us battle and it does suck the energy from us, not to mention the ill effects it has on our skin.\u00a0 She recommends Eleven Eleven Wellness <\/a>detox program.\u00a0 A combination of shakes, pills, and light meals that rid the body of impurities, provide nutrients, and stave off sugar cravings.\u00a0 This is one that, apparently, keeps many a celebrity clean and clear.<\/p>\n

So, why cleanse at all when I never before even considered it?\u00a0 I liked the idea of a cleanse removing toxins, and making me feel light and wonderful.\u00a0 But I am a novice cleanser, so these may have been unrealistic expectations.<\/p>\n

Have you cleansed?\u00a0 Do you do so regularly?\u00a0 What are your opinions\/experiences on the subject?\u00a0 We\u2019d love to know!<\/p>\n
