Goin' Detox - Updated daily for 10 Days

As you may know, I'm doing a body detox that is inspired by Chris Brewer doing the same "concept" coupled with some interesting timing.

Disclaimer - Don't try this at home. I'm not a doctor, I only play one on TV, and objects in mirror are closer than they actually appear..etc, etc. ....so please see a nutrionist if you find this interesting and want more info. If you're near a Whole Foods SuperOrganiMercado many offer the opportunity to speak with a staff nutrionist. Check it out. It's a good deal! This is an individual plan, so it varies from person to person.

The goal of the detox is to try and get your body back to as neutral a state as possible and then add things back to the diet and watch for potential negative reactions. I've never done anything like this before but the idea of it seems really interesting to me.

The detox lasts 10 days, but this is not a temporary 10 day fix-it...it's a foundation for a new, more balanced plan of eating. It's pretty simple...no dairy, grains, sugar, soy, alcohol, no starchy veg (potatoes, tubers, etc), artificial sweeteners, caffeine, no red meat or pork....and everything organic. No sense of potentially putting toxic chemicals back in your system.

So, think caveman diet. Veggies, fruit, nuts, meat. Goal is 5 meals a day...3 regular and 2 snacks and LOTS of H20. My goal is 6 litres of water a day.
