I'm doing this cleansing diet thingo at the moment. I have to avoid dairy, bread, pasta, red meat, alcohol, salt, sugar, fat - basically anything nice.
First week was HELL, especially no alcohol!!
I have been on it for 5 weeks now and lost 7 kilos - (i wasnt a lard arse before either) I am feeling (and lookin) GOOD!
So if you are on one - onya, or thinking of doing one, do it - I was VERY skeptical of doing it and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. After the first 1.5 weeks it was fairly easy. (Although i was naughty and got smashed this weekend haha)
Oh the reason i wrote this is cos I am drinking a peppermint tea atm and it reminded me of it. Usually i drink SHITE loads of coffee and tea during the day and alcohol by night - but i replace all that with green tea or herbal tea. Its not so bad - or just keep telling yourself that lol.
I go back to semi - normal soon. But I think it has changed my out look on what i eat etc for good.
