First of all, I love your blog. Steadily trying things out :)

Secondly, your detox is one of the few that I’ve heard of that is actually healthy. I mean, I see so many people doing ‘lemon-juice’ or cutting out everything but one food, and there is no way the lack of nutrients in those kinds of things is good for you in any way…
I’d struggle with going vegetarian, let alone vegan! Kudos for (almost) lasting a week.

I must try the “fresh dates stuffed with brazil nuts & rooibos tea”. I love Rooibos tea anyway so this might by my new revelation.

Your topic Westgate Reservations | About Human Resources | AboutHR.com was interesting when I found it on Tuesday searching for south beach detox…

We did a detox for a whole month! No flour, sugar dairy or fermented products … no WINE! We each lost about 7 lbs and I have to say, I felt more energized by doing this. But, for an all the time basis … I love my pastas and breads too much … and wine with a meal is awfully nice. Sigh. But sugar wise … we have really cut back on a whole since doing these detox programs.

There is a historical tradition of eating bitter herbs every spring to cleanse the body of toxins that build up over winter. And, actually there is tons of new research for those who prefer science to confirm time-honored traditions.

I use milk-thistle also. And I once met a recovered alcoholic who had researched his condition and found that nearly all people who relied regularly upon alcohol (regardless of the degree) are deficient in the B complex and calcium/magnesium vitamins, specifically.

Great, inspiring post, thank you!

How interesting! Don’t think I could ever go vegan – there’re too many little things in life I love that I’d find hard to give up, like fish sauce, shrimp paste, good old fashioned butter and pork anything. I love bircher muesli and love vegetables, but I think balance is probably the best answer. There’s only so many beans or dates I could eat!

I gave away the wine for a couple of weeks on the South Beach diet about 3 years ago. You’re right about the end-of-the-week unwinding tipple being a hard one to give up. These days I just take milk thistle to give the liver a hand :)

yeah..you have an excellent point there…the nazis…excellent example of why I should stick to food writing and not social commentary

lovely to hear from someone with a connection to good old baxter

thanks eva,
the food part of detox was definitely more fun than the alcohol free side of things…

good luck with the mojo em

Hey Jules,
Congrats! You’re definately my food hero, but I’m really glad I didn’t have to share your bed with all those beans and other veg on board.
PS. Sourced the smoked paprika, so mojo is on menu for weekend!
