D is For....


Detox Diets. While these diets have been around forever, they seem to be all the rage now and have fully made a revival. Ridding your body of toxins, weight loss and mental challenges are a few of the benefits of performing a cleanse. If you have the willpower to complete one, there are several different types of Detox Diets to choose from. Some include liquid-only, vegan and raw food cleanses. Probably the most popular and well known is the Master Cleanse Diet in which you subsist on water, lemonade, Grade B maple syrup and Cayenne Pepper for a minimum of ten days (aka Beyonce losing 20 lbs for Dreamgirls). I've tried this one and couldn't make it past day 4....incredibly hard. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new month, and would be the perfect time to make a new, clean start. Pig out tonight, cleanse tomorrow.


*The LA Times wrote a great piece about the Master Cleanse and it can be used for motivation. Observe.
