To be honest, the fourth & final week of mySpring Cleansingdidn’t start very well. By the end of this last week my face looked like a volcano and my hair not only looked really dull but was falling out in lumps. More importantly, I really wanted to have a delicious Sunday Roast with a nice glass of wine – despite not really feeling hungry at all. My only consolation was that I was ¾ of the way through the programme – just one more week should be easy enough to survive so here, in more detail, is howWeek 4 has gone:

Observations
- My tummy is almost totally flat! The bloating has gone. My waistline feels better.
- My appetite has shrunk. I can’t eat much and don’t feel hungry at all.
- I’m sleeping much more deeply. I feel rejuvenated and energised!
- My skin is now much smoother and less dry all over my body.
- The spots are disappearing from my face (I’m still treating them with cider vinegar and Witch Hazel).
- Next week I’ll gradually reintroduce eggs and meat into my diet
