Hi! I just came across this forum when researching body builders (or people who just love the gym) and the lemonade cleanse. I am going to begin the cleanse next week and wanted to see if I should work out while on the cleanse...looks like I'll just stick to my running for the 10 days! I have several friends who have done it and they feel amazing! I am very excited to do it. My girlfriend will be doing it with me, as I've heard it is much easier to have someone do it with you! Then, I noticed you wanted to go Raw after the cleanse...DO IT!!!! It's amazing! I went 95% Raw for eight months with my boyfriend. I highly suggest this lifestyle. We are very fit individuals and going raw was the best thing we could have done for ourselves. Initially, we both lost a few pounds of unhealthy weight (especially Shane b/c he was taking some unnatural supplements like creatine and stuff) but we both increased in strength and ran on 3 to 4 hours a sleep at night. For eight months, we got up around 4, 4:30 a.m., got to the gym around 5:30/6, worked out hard for an hour and a half (including some cardio), went home and worked on our mortgage business until about 10/11 at night, read for a bit, meditated for 20 minutes and asleep between 12 & 1 a.m. Yes, we did this for eight months...95% Raw...truly high on life!...increased strength and FULL OF ENERGY on three to four hours of sleep a night!!!! Right now, I'm only about 75% raw. I finally found an organic market close to home, so picking up the items I need is much more convenient...with my schedule and financial issues, it's been difficult to keep certain items stocked at home, so I've let some things slip...but I found Nature's Harvest to be an awesome organic market with a large variety of healthy goodness! I'm very excited to get back to 95% raw.
