After indulging rather extravagantly over the holiday season (i've only just worked off the last bit of fondue!)...
It's detox time!
I have previously tried The Wild Rose Herbal D-tox program as well as the Master Cleanse, in an attempt to be healthy and lose weight while doing it. I must admit that I 'attempted' the Master Cleanse more to lose weight quickly rather than detoxify. I say 'attempt' because I found the water, lemon, paprika and maple syrup concoction utterly disgusting, and thus didn't drink enough of it. Even if I had managed it, and even though some swear by the master cleanse and do it 3-4 times a year (for up to two weeks each time!), I found it to be the most unhealthy way to be 'healthy'. Needless to say, I managed 3 days and promptly ended it one morning with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. I tell you, it was like mana from the gods, orange juice has never tasted so good!
I did the Wild Rose Herbal D-tox in January 2010 with great results, this time my priorities were in the right place - I'd eaten far too much during the Christmas season and was feeling lethargic, lazy, bloated and uncomfortable. After finishing 10 days I had to stop, (simply and surprisingly because I felt I was losing too much weight), but my skin was glowing, my hair was shinier than ever, and I just felt GOOD. DW very kindly brought a kit back for me from Vancouver this winter, and I have been looking forward to it since she returned!
