Just so we're all clear, this cleanse is not one of those all-juice-all-the-time cleanses. Nor is it anything too extreme like totally fasting (I love food way too much for full-on fasting) or trying to sustain yourself on a lemon water detox. We'll be eating plenty of food on this cleanse. Well, probably not plenty in the sense that we probably eat way more food than our bodies need right now, but we'll eat enough food. But it will be healthy food. And the cleanse part comes in that we'll be cutting out some of the unnecessary stuff from our food intake. Just for one month. One month out of our ENTIRE life. Hopefully clearing our bodies of anything harmful and getting into a routine of eating healthily so that once March comes we won't go right back to our unhealthy habits*. So here's a real quick run down:
What's Off Limits During the Plan: processed food or beverages, added sugar, dairy, gluten, caffeine, and alcohol.
What You're Eating During Week 1: fruits, vegetables, and plant-based fats, including nuts, seeds, and oils
What You're Adding Back in Week 2:seafood, beans and lentils, and organic soy
What You’re Adding Back in Week 3:gluten-free grains and eggs
*Note that I'm speaking for myself here realizing that I have unhealthy eating habits. I think everyone will be participating in this cleanse for their own reasons and to whatever extent they are interested in doing so. I'd love to hear from folks (in the comments or in their own blog posting) as to why they are doing the cleanse!
