When we Fast, does it always need to be food?

that's a loaded question, but, to me, the answer is simple...what has God asked you to fast?

In this recorded episode you'll hear me dive deeper into the principles of fasting & share how you can stair-step your way into a fast, use non-food  fasting, & hear powerful stories behind food fasts.

I’m always so blown away when I do these 3 day cleanses.

I’ve shared a few blogs in the past about them - my favorite being A Clean-ish Mom’s Take onthe 3 Day Refresh of my honest and raw testimony of the first time I did the cleanse.

I’ve done it about 7 times since, and each time I cuss less and less  ;)  I know just what you were expecting me to say - ha!

But for real, I LOVE to eat. I love leafy greens, sauté veggies, chicken, fish….and cookies, margaritas, and pizza

SO I gotta balance myself out from time to time, especially if I’ve been under stress, which I have been.

Here’s my results from this round of the cleanse and DAMN mind blown:

Most people find this cleanse super easy and helpful, as do I, but I may just complain a little more ;) bc I’m honest AF!

There’s a lot of my community who wants to do it again after November. There’s some that want to do the 21 Day Ultimate Reset cleanse with me in...

Let's talk about cleanses. I actually had to have a hard discussion with my spouse, Neal, about cleansing. He finds cleansing, like our 3 Day Refresh quite easy and very helpful, whereas I find it OMG YOU'RE TELLING ME I CANNOT EAT THIS CHOCOLATE RIGHT NOW!?!  BUT bc I know they are good for me after doing research, I have learned to LOOOOVE cleansing my body quarterly.  And these are my results when I do the 3 day cleanse:

Some of the research I did that helped me lead me to these conclusions:  

1. These cleanse diets don’t just eliminate junk from your diet — they also focus on fueling your body with nutrient-rich foods that support your natural detoxification processes.
2. “There’s a ton out there in the media about what cleanses and detoxes are and what they’re supposed to do, but with the cleanses from my company (we have 2) a cleanse is really about putting clean burning fuel into your body to allow it to do the work...

MY STORY BEGINS HERE: 

I like to think of myself as a pretty clean eater.

Sure, I love pizza, cookies and the occasional Taco Bell, but for the most part, I make my meals and I eat foods from the outer sections of the grocery store aka fruits, veggies, and meats.

I like to spiralize noodles instead of have pasta. I seriously do love vegetables and could eat them almost all day (especially steamed or sauté), and I make 'nice' cream instead of binge on ice cream because I truly know I feel a lot better without artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and extra processed foods.

But again...I like pizza, cookies and the occasional Taco Bell. I'm human.

Well after a little too much of those extra...
