Detox
I am feeling SOOOOOO gross lately. This past month has been crazy with having Billy and Arty here, we've been going out to eat and to movies all the time and then I eat the crap we cook up at work everyday for lunch. Needless to say, my innards are protesting.
My solution? A detox diet! I researched (and by "researched" I mean perused google) and found several things, one of them being the master cleanse. The master cleanse is where you only drink a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water for at least 10 days. I had come across this cleanse in Fall 2010 and was tempted to try it over that Christmas break but had eventually decided against it. And this time I seriously considered it but ultimately decided against it again because I work at 14,114 ft elevation, probably not the best idea to deprive myself of sustenance up there. Plus, I didn't want to be going to the bathroom every five minutes while up there.
After drawing this conclusion, I remembered the leek detox I read about in the "French Women Don't Get Fat" and decided to do that. However, since I don't know where that book is, I decided to do my own thing.
Day 1: Drink nothing but my special recipe (which I hope tastes good, I'm making it right now!) of leeks, rhubarb, lemongrass, and crystallized ginger broth and water
Day 2: Same
Day 3: Same
Day 4: Incorporate whole fruits and veggies (ick)
Day 5: Same
Day 6: Incorporate unprocessed breads and protein
Continue on this path of happiness!
I'm so excited to rejuvenate myself and hopefully crave healthy foods after doing this detox! Wish me luck!
