Skepticism Put To The Test

 I saw a pretty popular blog about a 7 day detox diet. I've seen them before, hell my parents have tried them before. I never really give them any thought and basing it on what i've heard or seen they don't really work for losing weight. Maybe for cleaning your system out and getting a fresh start maybe? I never heard any one really rave about it being the greatest way to feel refreshed and energized. I think every one who has ever tried it probably feels the same about it that I do. Why bother going through all that trouble if I don't see weight loss after?

 So here I am day 1 of this detox after being negative about it and wondering what exactly had I gotten my self into. I figured, "what the hell? Everything else I have tried up until my now hasn't worked". If my thyroid has my metabolism in a lazy state, maybe if I starve it of enough calories, carbs and protein it might get up and retaliate?

 Like I said, I am on day 1 of my diet and it's nothing but fruit today with the exception of cabbage soup. After a rough night with stomach cramps and less sleep than I would have liked, I woke up grumpy at the thought of not getting my sweet coffee this morning. Quite the contrary yesterday after I prepared about 4lbs of fruit salad and one giant pot of cabbage soup to last for 7 days, I kept thinking, "I can do this no problem, why do people complain about this when you can have as much fruit and soup that you want?" I'd like to kick my yesterday self in the ass just once as a wake up.

 I'm not sure to blame the lack of sleep or the stomach ache on my fatigue since it's only been 1 day, but I can can hear my stomach complaining of hunger and that's definitely not my fault. The soup was good and filling for the first two hours, now I just feel empty, regardless of the 2 liters of water I've drank in just half a day. I'm not excited about what day 2 will bring, but I am way too intrigued about how I'll feel after this is complete next week.  I expect my pants to be slightly loose, at the very least! If I can sleep better after the 7 days I'll be satisfied, will I do it again? Probably not. Who knows, It's only day one and let's see how my skepticism holds up.
