I’ve decided to start a diet detox today.  I’ve done this detox many times over the past several years and love the end result.  However, if my mood changes over the three to five days, you’ll know why.  

First, there’s no alcohol.  Sure, my liver loves this break but my “relaxation habit” will be missed.  Although I’m a donor…I’m certain my liver won’t EVER get reused. Second, there’s no salt or seasoning allowed.  But since I don’t cook I’m not convinced I appreciate or will miss this detail. There’s no sugar or processed carbs allowed either.

Rather than dwell on what isn’t allowed.  I’ll share my menu:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs

AM snack: 1 orange

Lunch: lean protein & raw veggies

PM snack: 1 orange

Dinner: lean protein & raw veggies

All day & night: WATER!

After the detox, sugar or carbs won’t appeal to me. With the exception of wine. That always appeals. I’m off to the grocery store where I’ll buy crab legs, deli meat, chicken breasts, salmon and tons of raw veggies.  I intend to splurge at the store since I won’t be depleting any of my wine stash for the next 3-5 days.
