Flu or Detox?

[c'estlaviebelle]

I hate my newfound propensity to attribute everything to detox. Especially since everyone around me has been sick... but...

I felt like I was coming down with something yesterday. I was feeling very ill, sore throat, fatigue etc. Still not feeling great today, but yesterday I had ACV, and gargled with it, and only had a young coconut for dinner. On another note, I've been trying to continue to lose weight, and it seems my weight was stuck before. This am I woke up feeling better than expected, and weighed myself to notice i had lost 4 lbs! Wooohoo!!

I had been reading Jinjee's testimonial about how she got the flu (or similar symptoms) and came out on the other side like she had released some toxins. I'm feeling like that may be what is going on here. I'd like to think there was some toxic backup and this is the way my body is releasing it...

However, how can you tell if it *is* a flu or just a detox? The symptoms seem similar to me.

this is tricky for sure

the way i tell is by asking myself: how often did i get sick/get this or that symptom before i started the detox-inducing way of eating?

thanks. i just realized i confused carob and cacao when i talked about grinding nibs though.........i think it's only cacao that comes in nibs. i have some in my cupboard and paid good $$ for them but am hesitant to use them because i haven't had caffeine in over 3 months. maybe just a few here and there....:)
