Three nights of thai take-out later, I am oh-so ready to get back on the uber healthy horse (although, it's debatable whether or not I actually fell off). According to all sorts of wise nutrition gurus, the body needs a "cleanse" at least twice a year - just when the trees start to bud, and when they begin to lose their leaves. The trees outside look gorgeously green and I think it's time for my own cleanse!
Because supposedly it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, I will be partaking in this new adventure for the next 21 days starting tomorrow (Wednesday, May 5). So here's the deal - until May 26, these are my rules:
- No dairy. No problem.
- No wheat. Yeah, yeah.
- No meat, except fish. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
- No alcohol. Yes, wine constitutes alcohol.
- No processed food. Easy peasy.
- No caffeine. Dear god, no S-bucks tall, soy, extra hot latte. :(
- No sugar. Honey, maple syrup, molasses, etc are allowed.
- No corn, tomatoes, mushrooms or canned veggies. No citrus, strawberries, or melons. No peanuts, pistachios, or cashews. These are the restrictions my naturopath tailor-made for me, based on my constitution. Do as you please with these. For me - no excuses.
Stayed tuned for all of the glorious things I can eat - picture here the "after" table on What Not to Eat, chalk-full of beautiful vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, seeds, nuts, etc.
