2009: DETOX

To start 2009 with a clean slate I am going to do my first DETOX! My friend and I are going to follow the 7 day menu outlined in the latest GOOP newsletter, see it here. This was just the motivation I needed and the menu makes it easier, though does not make the concept any less scary. I fear I won't be able to finish it but having a friend to commiserate with is going to help, I'm sure.

My fridge is empty (a good thing when doing a DETOX) because it has not been restocked since we got back from all our holiday traveling. Today we are going grocery shopping to avoid putting ourselves in a tempting situation during the week. I will be posting daily about the experience.

If you are motivated to join me, please do and leave comments too. I think this is going to be hard but worth it after all the holiday eating. Cheers to a great 2009 and the start of DETOX tomorrow!


Wish me luck,

HI. I am also just staring my first detox and have chosen Gwyneth's as well since it doesn't seem as strict as others. Unfortunately she took down the news letter and I didn't think to save the daily menus or recipes. By any chance do you have them? If so could you email them to me at mfmyers24@gmail.com? I would appreciate it so much. Its great to read about other people's experiences on hard diets and I will keep you updated on mine. Thanks!
