Just popped in to say a belated wow! to your pics. You are looking so good! Radiant, toned and more than anything you look happy. Shining from the inside out babe. 

Had a very active morning....

* 6.3km jog, felt strong and was able to maintain a consistent pace the whole way, really need to push it a little more to take my speed to the next level.
* 45mins of weight-training, pretty intense session today, had a 1/2 melon straight after my run and rested for an hour then went straight to the weight.  I really love building muscle, its so empowering :-)

Anyways off to zzzzz....Goodnighty lovefreexo

p.s-Neety i have to return your email tomoz, need to get some beauty sleep :-) xx

Thanks Neety, you are so kind xx

Went for a 20min jog this morning followed by 15mins of yoga.  My aim is 30mins and I will get there.  Jumped on the bike and rode 20kms to the local town and back.

Food:

10am
1/2 melon

1pm:
9banana smoothie with celery, rocket and baby spinach

4pm:
5 sapodillas

6pm:
7mango, celery, rocket soup

Really enjoying only eating when the sun is up, my digestion is fantastic, my energy first thing in the morning is great I jump out of bed! I  really feel it is ideal for us not to eat at night so I will continue this indefinitely.

Tomorrow is another running race already! This time it is on the flat so I will be interested to see what time I get, going to get out of my comfort zone as much as possible tomorrow and push it .

Lovefreexo

I have some more questions, if it's OK, for you Freelea, re: the amounts of fruit that you advocate we eat.

I would like to work up to eating as much fruit as you and RGG, but I struggle. I do smoothies, but can't handle too much of those either. Anyhow, I recently bought a copy of Alissa Cohen's book, and I was quite surprised to see how little she eats daily! eg: on one day she will have  a green drink, then a "collard roll", then an apple, finishing with a "piece of torte". Another day: green drink, coconut, and 2 pears. Yet another: Half a pineapple, a small salad, sweet potato chips with guac, and a piece of torte.

How is this so? She works out, too, twice a day. I'm feeling confused, of course, but I guess the answer is to see how I go and what suits me personally. Hmmm...

Thanks again in advance. I have no doubt that high fruit works for you, but if Alissa isn't doing it, perhaps other people can also do with less too?

I’ve been confused about this too, good point No-Frontiers.

Thanks for answering my Qs Free just one more......for now 

you said to wait until food has left the stomach before you drink how can you tell when food has left the stomach?

Hey guys and girls I have to go to a running race so will answer all your questions tomorrow or later tonight xx

Most of those 10 Dangers of Coffee Enemas are Dangers of any kind of Enema, and Dangers of Consuming Caffeine, through the mouth or whatever.

About the only point that seems to put coffee and enema in the same 'danger' is the first one where all it says is 'not proven to do anything superior to the effects of plain saline', Does that sound like a big danger to be concerned about 'not proven ... to be superior...'?  There is actually quite a lot of research that medicated enemas ARE proven to being superior to saline enemas, when you look into the effects an enema can have beyond loosening up faecal matter, eg coffee enemas stimulate the release of bile from the liver, that's the main thing they are recommended for, liver cleansing from flushing the liver out. 

Consuming caffeine through the lower portion of the large intestine may allow some consumption of caffeine that can become addictive, but the problem with drinking coffee is that it is socially acceptable, people crave their double latte and can get their fix at a drive through service provider if need be, I really can't imagine going and having 12 coffee enemas a day will be socially acceptable in the near future (one of the deaths attributed to coffee enemas was someone having 12 in one day - I think 12 plain saline enemas would've had the same result), nor will fellow coffee enema addicts be able to gather together over an enema bag in social situations.  Once enemas are socially acceptable, it might be more of a concern about the addictive possibilities of a coffee enema vs a saline one.  Lots of drugs can be applied as suppositories, but you don't see people saying 'I'll just shove this down my pants and up there because it works better that way', they stay with the snorting/smoking/injecting/normal digestive tract ingestions options because they are the socially acceptable ingestion options, they've usually got to be pretty hardened users to go the suppository path.


I'm not really sure of the point you're making that documented use of coffee enemas only goes back to less than a century ago, while non-coffee enemas are documented for thousands of years.  In Ayurvedic texts that go back 5000yr, enemas are usually medicated with various herbs, including Ayurvedic caffeine type stimulants that give the same liver cleansing results.  There is a LOT of research into this type of thing in India where they are getting all of the western proof to back up the traditional system beyond ' this has been done this way for thousands of yours'.  They're not studying the effects of coffee enemas because that is outside their scope of Ayurvedic herbs, but enemas with medicated solutions are well studied and proven to have an impact on the person using them.


Coffee is often included as an externally applied scrub and caffeine is included in many cellulite products these days, yes it would be better if people didn't have cellulite in the first place, but external application of caffeine does stimulate the cells to release sodium, the dreaded part of salt NaCl that causes fluid retention. Note that caffeine taken by mouth has the opposite effect. A coffee scrub will have more of an effect on someone than just the obvious skin exfoliation than scrubbing with a handful of sand will do, and it is less likely to block drains.  Applied externally it usually does not get into the blood stream in effective amounts to cause caffeine addiction problems, it is metabolised in the area it is appied to, not a systemic effect.

I doubt people with incredibly clean systems would require something that stimulates a liver purge, people working on their way to an incredibly clean system can weigh up the benefits against the concerns for a liver cleanse using a coffee enema once a week or once a month, it's the decision of the individual, and blanket WARNING 10 Dangers of coffee enemas when most of the dangers have nothing in particular to do with a coffee enema is scaremongering and hoping people don't bother understanding beyond the headlines.
