Confessions Of A Cleanser

Week 1 Of Cleanse (With Recipes)

I have made through the first week of my cleanse. I feel energized, the sugar cravings have subsided, and I’ve lost a few pounds.  It really has gone fast and hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be.  Well, except for the coffee.  Why is it so delicious and make me so happy?  I have only been having one cup a day.  I have been drinking it with unsweetened soy creamer and vanilla...
