Day Three: WHY are you doing this?

I am sure there is someone in your life who is asking you this question.  "What are you thinking?  I could NEVER do that.  You're crazy." 

Everyone has their own reasons for wanting a change in their lives.  Food is medicine, and as Alejandro Junger says, "Nothing tastes as good as feeling good feels."  Probably your reasons for doing the cleanse will evolve as the process goes on.   It slowly becomes less physical and more mental... maybe even spiritual?  Wellness effects our whole selves, so even though it begins with food, it changes our lives in so many different ways.

Below is a link to the article that made my husband and I do the cleanse for the first time.  It's an article in the December 2010 Outside Magazine's New Years issue.  It's a fun read, especially for those of us in the midst of the journey!  I hope you enjoy:
