Day One: The Detox

Nope, it's not another crazy apartment plan, this time it's a health plan. A detox diet, for one week, and today is day one.
The detox diet I'm following is the one that Goop wrote about.

Here's the basic breakdown of it:
Length: 7 Days
Focus: Mostly liquid meals (smoothies, juices, & soups), mostly vegetables & fruits
Not Allowed: dairy, gluten, meat (except skinless chicken breast), shellfish, anything processed (including all soy products), fatty nuts, nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant), condiments, sugar, alcohol, caffeine or soda.
Additional: Do deep breathing/yoga exercises, take a couple spoonfuls of olive oil at night to stimulate your liver, exercise (or sauna) to allow your body to release toxins through sweat.

I'm normally not one for strict, rigid diets, especially ones with the title "detox" attached, but this is something that I can wrap my head around and understand how it works and how I can benefit from it. I'm not denying myself food (though I am eating some pretty unconventional meals) and I don't expect to ever let myself be hungry. I'm simply taking a week to focus on 100% healthy eating. And I hope to be able to take all of the healthy eating choices I make this week and start using them regularly... like I used to, I sort of fell off the wagon a bit, and I'm hoping this week will be the push to get me back on.
