Reflection of the cleanse!

Key lessons learned by Giggles:

1. You don't need as much food as you think you do

2. Its important to be surrounded by friends that are a good influence and support you in your crazy ideas:)

3. Cooking is magical

4. your body knows when its full.. its just your job to be a good listener and follow its cue

5. livers are awesome!!! (yes I had to do a presentation on live donor liver transplantation and regeneration so if you have any questions relating to the largest gland in the body then let me know:))

6. don't be so worried about finishing your plate...it will either be waste in the garbage or go to waste in your body... your choice... overindulging can cause a loss of homeostasis in the body because the liver can't handle all that. Not enough bile can be secreted to emulsify the fats and its harder for the liver to store all those carbs at once.

7. Ketchup can go with EVERYTHING:)

8. When you eat food the ATP generated from that has two options:
a. energy
b. biosynthesis of cellular components ..this is the one we worry about... darn you fat storages!!!

9. Fruit is the best night time snack!

10. You don't need sweets... the more you eat the more you need and its just a terrible addictive relationship...my mom has recently given me a tea called St. John's Wort Blues Away. This tea is said to promote emotional balance and because of its sweet flavor it has helping my mom and I with our sweet/junk food cravings!

Peace and Love,
