adding a detox to the mix
doing good with the new diet, although on tuesday i spied those super tasty chocolate covered hard toffees that i love over at the village market and what can i say? my foraging bear snagged three and shared them with me as we walked through the aisles. totally with the program since then. however.
starting yesterday i am working with ann louise gittleman’s fast track one day detox diet...which actually takes 11 days! there’s 7 days of “prequel”, which is basically including foods that support the liver and the colon and avoiding those that tax them, a one day fast on water and spiced cranberry juice, and then a 3 day “sequel” which is pretty much the same as the first 7 days with some additional foods high in probiotic flora. very interesting working at the restaurant surrounded by temptation after temptation, from the moment i walk in the door and make the whipped cream to the moment i leave without having my shift drink. i had forgotten the side benefit of developing a hardier sense of will power that goes along with any diet. or as mr. gurdjieff would say, “intentional suffering.”
