Detox Diaries: My Three Weeks on "Clean"
Think you've got what it takes to detox for 21 days? Here's how one woman did it, why (perfect skin, anyone?), and the info you need to decide if this plan is for you
Are we done yet?
Today's meals: Green juice for breakfast; vegan energy bar for a snack; millet risotto with chicken for lunch; carrot ginger soup for dinnerMy weight is it's lowest yet and I'm pretty low on energy today. I was starving this morning so I had a vegan energy bar with my green juice for a little pick-me-up. It seemed to help, but I was still starving again by lunchtime. I can't really say I feel a whole lot better than normal -- but I also don't feel any worse than I usually do. And I am learning that I can survive on a lot less food than I thought I needed; I'm just not sure I want to.
For dinner, I tried a different recipe from the book -- carrot ginger soup -- and wow, is it awful. It has apple cider vinegar in it and the whole soup just tastes like that; so gross. I manage to salvage it by cooking it for a lot longer than what's suggested (to cook out the vinegar taste) and adding a ton of salt, pepper, and garlic. The end result is pretty good, but nowhere near the book's recipe.
