Alright, so I am not the most consistent blogger... but I'm on week 2 of Kindergarten and although there is less planning and correcting, I'm still getting used to being on my feet all day. So here it is, as promised, my detox story, for those of you who are curious as to the truths surrounding my Zija tea detoxification (from my own personal experience).
I expressed my fears surrounding using the Zija tea (because it is a detox product) in my previous entry. I was (pardon the pun), scared sh!tle$$ and under the belief that I would need to attempt this on a quiet weekend where I would be able to run back and forth throughout the day to 'release' the toxins... yuck! I had heard from others to devote about 3 days to the bathroom because I would have extreme diarrhea caused by the detoxification process... like I have time for that with a very busy 18 month old! I managed to work up the courage to begin drinking the tea last Friday evening (the Friday before labor day... a nice long weekend). I was careful to only leave the tea to brew for 5 minutes, as instructed (making sure it wasn't too strong). The tea tasted great - which was a relief because I figured it would taste awful... I mean it's a tea to make you detox, I assumed it would taste terrible - but I was wrong!
Day 1 after drinking the tea... so I'm waiting for this tea to take effect... I mean, I really thought that I would be running to the bathroom in the middle of the night and into the morning, but NOTHING! I mean, not 'nothing', I had my regular BM in the morning (sorry for TMI, but it's a blog about detox tea - what did you expect!?!), but no diarrhea! I went about my day very surprised, maybe even secretly a little disappointed... I had put off using the tea for fears that were now being 'flushed down the drain' (sorry, couldn't resist another pun!). Again that night I drank the second tea in my 3 day detox. This time, I let the tea brew 6 minutes and squeezed the tea bag a little before pulling the bag - might as well make sure it's effective (since I had devoted my weekend to this detox process)...
Day 2 after drinking the tea... hummm, I really don't understand what has happened, no negative side effects. I'm starting to worry now that I am not taking the tea properly, or that this detox process is only going to happen on day 3, and in that case, I'm in trouble because my long weekend will be over and I'll be back to school (not exactly like I can run back and forth to the bathroom there!). Ready to brew my 3rd cup of tea and see how this one affects me...
Day 3 after drinking the tea... another uneventful day after detox. I mean I don't know if it's fair to say 'uneventful', but I feel like this whole process was blown out of proportion (by my own misconceptions and fears). From what I understand of the detoxification process is that it is very important to detox while losing weight so that the body can release the toxins that a broken down by breaking down fat. I have now lost a little over 10 lbs (in 3 weeks - through nothing other than my Zija Smart mix, my XM3 and a few days of detox tea). I am taking a (non-medical, very naive) assumption that my body has been progressively getting healthy over my last 2.5 weeks on Zija, therefore my body had less toxins to get rid of. I have also been living life healthier and more actively so my body is working better. I wouldn't say that I have changed my eating habits, I still eat the same meals (although my appetite and portion size has decreased), but my views of food have changed. I don't crave the same foods, I don't feel like I need certain foods to satisfy my cravings (because they are not there anymore).
So I am on day 5 (my last day for this week) of drinking my Zija Premium tea (just because I like the taste, and like the idea of making sure that my body is being encouraged to release toxins) and last night I accidentally left the bag in to brew for 20 minutes (I was cutting out an activity for school and forgot about the tea), but I figured I would test out the tea (for the sake of my blog and my own Zija journey), and was again pleasantly surprised to have no negative bathroom effects.
My life on Zija is definitely changing... so stay tuned to my next weight loss, health gain update! And feel free to send my a message with any questions or comments that you might have about the product.
Zija weight loss is not like other diet plans, it does not require you to change your life style and plant and Zija drink is a naturally developed product using the juice of most nutrient rich plant moringa oleifera.

ReplyDeletewish I could read the story but the fonts are to light/small
ReplyDeleteHit Ctrl and the + key a few times to make the screen enlarged. That's what I did and then it was readable. Ctrl and the - key will take it back down.
DeleteThis is day 4 for me. Started experiencing a light headache yesterday. I noticed it lasting the entire day. I was instructed to drink the supermix in three intervals and not the whole thing at once. Are headaches part of the detox side effects? I thought I had detoxed the very first day when it pretty much cleaned my entire bowels. I wonder how long will it take before the headache /detox process is done.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely drink the supermix (or any mix) in 3 intervals - or it will go through your system too quickly (you'll pee it out). I never experienced headaches, but make sure you are drinking water along with the supermix - if you have diarrhea, then chances are the headache might be caused by slight dehydration! Good luck on your Zija journey - I'm sure it will be a successful one!
DeleteThank you so much for your input., Dana. I may need to drink more water. All I have is a light headache, that's all. Not ready to quit any time soon.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that I found your post while searching for informative posts. It is really informative.

ReplyDeleteSo this girl didn't really read the instructions for the premium tea and like I always do when I drink tea, I left the bag in the cup while I drank it. BIG MISTAKE, HUGE!!! And on top of that, I drank it two nights in a row. Needless to say I am now drinking it every other night and only steeping for 5 minutes.
