Oh Master Cleanse, how do I hate thee? Please, allow me to count the ways!
For those of you who are not familiar with the Master Cleanse aka Lemonade Detox, please know that I will be irritable for the next two weeks. For ten days, I will be fasting/detoxing by drinking a lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water concoction. I will consume this "lemonade" at least six times a day for ten days. On the 11th day, I will drink orange juice; fresh squeezed, of course. And to follow that up, I will have vegetable broth for days 12 and 13.
I know that you are wondering why I'm doing this. Truthfully, it's a combination of things. I gotta do something about this belly before I develop diabetes, heart disease and/or high blood pressure. Plus, I just want to live healthier. I really enjoy the healthy eating and all of that, but lately, since I moved from Philly, I haven't been eating nearly as well as I used to. So, it's time to get back to the leafy greens and whole grains. However, I need to jump start things and rid my body of all the toxins that I've been mindlessly pumping into to it, and detoxing is a great way. I've done it before and it works. Honestly, I can't wait! I miss the way my body felt when I had tons of energy from eating right and exercising.
Of course, I say all of that now...I haven't even started the detox. Monday is day 1, so stay tuned to find out how I feel. I'm pretty sure that it won't be all butterflies and bunny rabbits when day 10 rolls around!

Now, I'm not going to bog you down with all the things terribly wrong, unnatural, and totally unhealthy about that de-tox. But, if you ask I'll be glad to give you some other things you can do that won't make you evil, because you're body is starving!!
