Detox Diet

I started a detox diet today. Some of you may already know, but I've lost a good 25 pounds in the last six months or so. I'm skinnier than I've been since, well, before the freshman fifty (I know it's supposed to be fifteen, but for me it was more like fifty). Even though I lost a lot of weight, I have still been putting a lot of horrible things into my body. Coca-Cola being the worst. I love Coke! I've definitely cut down the amount of it I drink, but I still drink way too much.

Anyway, the detox diet doesn't allow any fizzy drinks. It also doesn't allow meat (besides fish), dairy, wheat, chocolate, or chips. Basically, I'll be starving for the next week! Ha ha! I'm sure fish will end up being a main part of each dinner. Oh, and the diet allows potatoes (but no butter). I love potatoes and can get so full from them, so I'm happy their allowed. What else? Fruits and veggies are allowed, of course, as well as unsalted nuts and popcorn. And, I nearly forgot, you have to drink 2 liters of water each day! Right now I NEVER drink water. (I know, I know--I'm horrible.) Hopefully this will get me used to drinking it though. I've included the link to the diet. It's less restrictive than some other detox diets, and it's only for a week, which is good since these diets can often leave you low in certain vitamins and minerals. Anyway, I'm off to have some rice cakes! Wish me luck!
