My roommates and I have talked about doing a detox for a few
weeks now, but there was always some reason not to. Truthfully, they were usually good reasons. First, Katherine was on a special diet for
her post-cancer therapy. And then it was
my birthday. Priorities, people.
Honestly, it can be really hard to be on the same schedule
as your roommates when you’re all busy college students. We hardly have time to sit down together for
dinner once a week. Recently, though,
Tony and I were discussing the cleanse anew and decided, what better time than
before spring break?
I had heard about “The Detox Prescription” for the first
time when I watched Dr. Oz (for the first and only time… Don’t judge.). It sounded really interesting to me, because
it detoxifies the body and packs all the essential nutrients into three short
days. This quick ‘diet’ consists only of
smoothies, juices, and milks – it’s all liquid.
Tony and I decided to start this Sunday and
finish on (ironically) Fat Tuesday. For
us, then, Saturday was our Mardi Gras – we snacked all day, went to a
late lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, and had a meal of only chocolate
brownie ice cream.
We spent the evening washing, peeling, chopping, and
de-seeding all of the ingredients for tomorrow’s first day of the cleanse. Tonight, though, we’re finishing off our "Samedi
Gras" right: down at the fraternity house.
Tomorrow, we’ll be ready to detoxify.
