Happy New Year! Time To Cleanse!
Posted by Missy W. @ 8:31 PM
Happy New Year, everyone. May 2010 be full of adventure for us all.
I was feeling incredibly run-down during the holidays and realized I had been putting a LOT of bad choices down the hatch. Some friends were going to do the Clean program,* so I decided to jump on board. This detox is no Master Cleanse, rather, a pretty sensible way to detox - liquid meal/solid meal/liquid meal. But it is three weeks long. Three weeks! I’m only on day three, but I have hope that I’ll keep on track. The first two days were punctuated by not much more than a growling stomach and a severe headache (I opted out of the Elmination Diet phase where you cut back on caffeine and sugar, etc). Ahem. Apparently I was incredibly addicted to coffee! And sugar. And coffee. And more coffee.
The good news: I feel GREAT today. The bad news: I am supposed to have a beet/celery/apple juice for dinner.
I’ll keep you posted. If anyone is doing this cleanse, jump in the comments section and share your fave recipes!
*I did not purchase the $350 supplement kit sold on the site. I bought the book, bought some supplements at Whole Foods and a LOT of kale, beets, celery, apples and a brand-new Breville juicer. By the way, that Breville Juice Fountain Plus is OFF THE HOOK. We made the most amazing apple juice out of one pink lady apple. Sy went bananas for it. It’s enormous and expensive (I got mine on major sale at Macy’s last week). You don’t even have to peel most of the fruits or vegies, just toss em in and whir it up. It takes about a minute to make juice for four people, and about eight minutes to clean the entire contraption. Most of it is dishwasher-safe, but I hand wash it since I’m using it so much right now.
