Body Soul Cafe

This is a great place! I have done the meal service a few different weeks when I didn’t feel like cooking and have been amazed by how healthy and great tasting everything is. I would never in a million years be able to make meals that are this healthy and taste as good as these do. I only wish I lived closer. If you haven’t tried this place before, check out their menus online or just drop in. They keep a grab and go fridge stocked full of treats and meals that you can get to go.

Well, just like everyone else during the Holidays I ate lots of goodies and enjoyed my time with the family while staying in Florida. As soon as all the fun stuff ended I felt gross, weighed down, and tummy felt bloated. Ugh! Not a great way to start the new year, right? I knew this was a good way to get on the 5 day Cleanse and get my metabolism rolling again and to clear out all the toxins from everything I ate during the past months. Kellie, from the Café, was offering this super great deal that I couldn’t resist. The Cleanse was to start Jan 4^th for 5 whole days! I was pretty excited about it, and a slight bit nervous. Kellie told me that I would probably feel sluggish the first two days as I was not to have caffeine, alcohol, or sugar during the 5 days. Everyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE my coffee and it’s a MUST in the mornings. I was thinking…“Okay, it’s only 5 days, let’s do this!”
The day before I was to start the Cleanse, Kellie had my meals planned out for the first two days. When I got the food, I was super excited to see the different meals prepped and the juices that came along with everything. She had them labeled with a sticker «1», which let me know that these meals and juices were for Day 1, and then another sticker on the other meals that said «2», for Day 2. I thought this was a nice touch and made it easier for me to just take stuff out of the fridge.
After Day 5 of being on the cleanse I feel amazing! The whole time I was doing my cleanse, my husband would feel bad drinking coffee in front of me, but it didn’t bother me at all. I didn’t have cravings for anything. I have lost 5 pounds in the 5 days, but where I notice it the most is my stomach. The bloating I felt was gone and I feel so much lighter. I am ready to keep this journey going and try to stick to a plant based lifestyle. I am already learning new tricks and finding recipes that I can’t wait to try! Thank you Kellie for your amazing hard work. All the attention to detail was simply awesome, and I can’t wait to learn more from you in the near future.
