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
