The 2008 Detox

I did it last summer and it totally turbo charged my summer of good health and skinny thighs, so I am going to do it again.

The Wild Rose Detox is well known by many. If you have ever researched a cleanse or shopped at a health food store you have probably bumped into it. It is an all natural, but not too severe cleanse that is comprised of many naturopathic supplements and a strict diet that excludes what seems like everything. But I am sick of feeling crummy as I have been lately and can feel that I am in need of a diet overhaul. For many reasons I am having a hard time getting myself out of a bad eating rut...so I am hoping this will help.

I have even purchased whole buckwheat and rice milk which I have told myself I will use as a substitute for cereal. Lord help me.

Luckily, organic butter is allowed and like Sarah was telling us a few posts ago, veggies with lots of butter and some raw salt can taste awesome. And they allow almonds to snack on, thank god. Another weird surprise on this cleanse is popcorn with butter. Too bad they recommend that you eat as much fish as you possibly can. Boo! I think I will try to stick to the almonds.

Oh, and corn. I can BBQ up some corn on the cob and eat it with butter. Can't think of a more wonderful summertime treat. Drinks-wise there isn't much I can drink other than water...but to make that a little more exciting, I am planning to buy myself a new stainless steel water bottle and get rid of my old, smelly Nalgene. Tonight I went out and got a crop of wonderful looking fruit and veggies and a big bag of brown rice which I can make in my rice maker and eat with Bragg (which I think tastes totally like soy sauce!). I can do this. Maybe not the wisest timing, with five very important shows coming up this weekend, but I feel really ready to rid my body of it's toxic feelings.

I will let you know how I do and if you have any questions, let me know. I am happy to share any info I might have on being a a cooking-phobic, undisciplined cleanser.

And heck, if It also accomplishes me looking better in my bikini, then so be it!
