Detox day 1

Today was the start of the detox. Todays meals have been - a bowl of fruit, water with lemon, spicy pumpkin and cauliflower soup, a banana, dried apricots and sultanas and for dinner, salad with a seared nile perch fillet. I decided on fish for dinner as a slow transition into the detox. I'm on the edge of getting a headache but so far it's not too bad.
I've been going to the toilet every 30 minutes from the amount of water I'm drinking, it's crazy! Oh and also tried green tea today, to be honest it's pretty gross but I'll keep going with it.
I still haven't gotten a pro-biotic, I'll see how I go without it for now.
Didn't last long at the gym today due to the child having an accident and having to come home early. Will try to get in a bit of extra exercise tomorrow.

Here's the recipe for my soup:

Spicy pumpkin and cauliflower soup

1/4 cauliflower cut into florets
1/4 pumpkin cut in chunks
1/2 med sweet potato cut in chunks
Chilli
1/4 cup Soy milk
Parsley chopped

Put veg in a saucepan with a tablespoon of oil. Fry veg off for a couple of minutes. 
Cover veg with water (2-3 cups) and bring to the boil. Once boiling drop to a simmer and cook until veg are tender. 
Take saucepan off the heat. 
Add soy milk, parsley and chilli to taste.   Purée with a barmix or blender.
Serve
