the apple cleanse

a co-worker of mine has been saying she wants to do a cleanse for a few weeks now. since we all know it's hard to cleanse solo, i volunteered to do it with her.

after doing some web research, we decided on the 3-day apple detox program. this program is simple, in that there are only 3 ingredients: apples, water, and herbal tea (which is optional). another benefit to it is that you don't need to starve while doing this cleanse, you can eat as many apples as you want. any "diet/detox/cleanse" that allows for eating a lot is a-ok in my book.

you can read about the actual scientific benefits of an apple cleanse here:

so i came to work today all determined with my tupperware container filled with cut-up apples and a 2-liter bottle of water... only to find out that my coworker actually forgot that today was our agreed upon start day for our cleanse, so i am flying solo on day 1. which is the hardest day when you start a cleanse. wish me luck!
