If you've been loading up with snuggly winter comfort foods and cosying up in front of the telly for the past few months, you might want to consider refreshing your body with a cleansing detox.
But what's it really like? We get the lowdown from one brave nzgirl who took up the challenge of a two week liquid detox. Here are some of her key insights and tips on the detox experience...
1: A two week cleanse is a difficult but unexpectedly spiritual experience.
2: A concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water tastes surprisingly good.
3: Don’t be surprised if all you want is sushi, sushi and more sushi.... and chocolate.
4: Watching Johnny Depp movies over and over helps to ease chocolate cravings.
5: When you don’t eat, you have a lot of extra time on your hands.
6: Not eating really kills your social life.
7: As appealing as losing a couple kilos is, there may actually be a point when you feel little too skinny. If you lose your boobs and your body begins to resemble that of a 10 year old boy, you’ll know you’re at that point.
8: When your insides are so clean, you never pass gas.
9: Doing a cleanse with someone you’ve just started to date is a very strange but interesting way to begin a relationship.
10: When observing others enjoying a good meal, you may experience dark fantasies of slapping food from their hands and overturning tables. Try not to.
11: Finally, be prepared for an awareness and control over your automatic instincts and habits with food, a new interest in how you nourish your body, an intensely satisfying feeling of empowerment, and yes, a lighter ass to go with your enlightened soul.
