When I did this back in January, I did it to lose weight. I was 2 stone overweight and my eczema was hideous. As the 7 days went on, the weight dropped off (lost 9lb in the end) and my eczema by Day 3 was so much clearer and by Day 7 had pretty much gone.
This time however, it's not happening. I've added a photo below of my progress day by day. As you can see there isn't much difference. I had a breakout last night which I'm assuming is down to the berries in one of the juices. Today I had the same juice first thing and just now. (Juice 1 and 2 were both a green juice). I decided not to have the orange one today as planned because I know oranges would irritate. Anyway, a few minutes ago I had a big flare up. I'm so upset again now. I don't understand. I had a juice at 10am and this flare up came before the 1pm juice (which I had at 3pm instead). I just don't get whats caused it.
***UPDATE*** Todays recipe was Nature's Super Blend. 2 apples, handful of baby spinach leaves, 1/2 courgette, 1 lime, 2 carrots, 1/4 cucumber, 2 cm broccoli, 1/2 stalk celery, 1/4 green bell pepper, 1/2 avocado. Juice all but the avocado and then blend with the avocado.*****
I was going to go in the facebook group and post how I felt but I'd just said I would stay away for a few hours as I'm always in there. I love the group and helping people, supporting them etc but its taking over. There is nothing I can do about it because I want to read everything! It's not an administration problem if you get me. I can't share the load because the "load" is just me wanting to read every single word. lol
We reached over 300 members this morning. Wow! I never thought it would take off like this.
Anyway, so my eczema is rubbish. I can tell I've lost a couple of pound but as I say, the weightloss isn't important any more. (I shall still be pleased believe me. lol).
I've not done a video diary for today because well, it will just be a big moan. I SHOULD feel happy today. I SHOULD feel the juicy high. I SHOULD have clear skin.
Why? Why haven't I??

Aww Donna, you poor sausage - that looks so painful, and what a disappointment for you :(
ReplyDeleteIs there anything else you're doing differently this time round, other than the ingredients in the juices?
I'm finding all the washing up really irritates the psoriasis on the backs of my hands - could that be irritating your skin too?
Perhaps rubbing in some cold pressed organic coconut oil would help? Not sure if you've tried this before, but a lot of people swear by it for skin conditions like ours. I find it does give me some relief, not as much as I'd like, but some nevertheless.
Have a big hug (((hug))) xxx
There's nothing that I can think of thats different. Hubby has done all the washing up. I really think the ingredients this time could be the culprits? I don't know but I'm certainly not as happy as I was last time. I enjoyed the journey but this time, if it wasn't for the group, I don't think I'd be doing it.
DeleteI've not tried that with the coconut oil but I'll certainly look into it! Thanks. :-)
Roll on May 1st to start the Clear Skin Programme! x
I really feel for you Donna, I think the clear skin program will do amazing things for you, think of this as a clear out in preparation for that xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Clare. I just can't wait to start it. I do hope it works. If not, then I give up! x
DeleteThat was my first thought actually, the clear skin program....have you sent Jason a message and asked him if he has any answers? Good luck with it all! x
ReplyDeleteSorry Susan, I've only just seen your comment. I did email Jason and he replied personally which was lovely. I'm feeling more positive now and looking forward to starting the programme. x
