I know that they are good for you (just like giving blood), but I would prefer just eating as clean as I can. There is a lot of junk in our healty foods as well though, so I am a advit gardener.

With that said, I hate the feeling of not liking the body you're in.<br /><br />Next, isn't it amazing how easily you can get into the habit of prepared foods and snacks?<br /><br />While I admire you for this, and I know I'd benefit from the same, I'd never be able to give up wine & cheese & bread. Never. So I'll just run more :-)<br /><br />Keep up the good work - and let us know how that first glass (oh, fuck it, bottle) of wine tasted.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805939293906938812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-840252119775838832011-10-19T00:32:46.087-04:002011-10-19T00:32:46.087-04:00Over the years I've done probably three to fou...Over the years I've done probably three to four detoxes...the worst one "for me" was The Wild Rose and as much as I hated to, by the end of Day 2 I had to give it up...and I hate quitting!

Then it was right back to The Abs Diet where I'm allowed a cheat meal once a week and no restrictions as far as bread, dairy, etc. <br /><br />Sounds like you did really well and got a lot out of the cleanse!

Sounds like it is helping you make some great changes. I just read the book "Food Rules" by Michael Pollen and it makes a lot of sense and good arguments for why we shouldn't be eating all of the processed foods, etc. So, go you! Hope that you are able to maintain the healthy eating after the cleanse is over! And good luck with the menu planning. I actually like doing that, it makes me less stressed during the week.Jenny https://www.blogger.com/profile/10076043522662731834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-41348697894895682812011-10-18T07:26:43.719-04:002011-10-18T07:26:43.719-04:00You're making me want to try one!
