Why? Not for weightloss, but to see how it would affect the way my BODY and MIND functions; and I can say I felt a whole heap better for doing it.
I've been a little naughty lately, eating far too much rice & soy sauce, dates & almond butter and these super delicious honey soy rice cakes.. woopsies, but hey - I'm human! So I felt, maybe its time to press the restart button and get my body moving again.
So, the rules are pretty simple - just liquid food for 3 days! Soups, smoothies, sorbets, icecreams. You name it, get creative. Obviously, all foods are dairy and gluten free, plant based and majority of them are high carb raw vegan - with the exception of soups.
Drink at least 3L of water daily - I reccommend getting a big 1.5L waterbottle and drinking one before 12pm, that way you only have 1 more to drink through the afternoon! :)
So, without further adue - here are some recipes to play around with. I had a smoothie for breakfast, a soup and smoothie/juice for lunch and a soup/smoothie/juice/icecream for dinner... so pick and choose and see what works for you :)
