Red, red wine We should strictly have taken this one out on the first day, when we junked artificial additives, but for many of us, especially over here in the UK, alcohol is so much a part of the fabric of our lives that it merits a little more ceremony somehow! Alcohol has become such a social norm for so many people – that it's hard to imagine life without it Read More...
Day 7 – Detox diary countdown
February 29th, 2012 by Tonya
Moo-ve over, cow's milk! Have you ever considered how unusual it is for us to drink cow's milk, when so many of us are weaned on mother's milk? These two milks were 'designed' for two different species! One reason why so many of us have a lactose intolerance – many of us, that we don't even know about! Sometimes, a programme like this can highlight such an intolerance – and should you choose to make use of this kind of information and change your diet long-term as a result, all those mysterious (more Read More...
Day 10 – Detox diary countdown
February 26th, 2012 by Tonya
Are we ready to begin? Today, we're going to 'detox' our food cupboards by taking out everything that is not 'allowed' on the programme (I hesitate to call it a 'diet', with all the word's negative connotations.

Day 19 – Detox diet plan
May 3rd, 2011 by Tonya
The road to heaven... ... is paved with good intentions! With three more days of the detox diet to go, today might be a good time to reflect on what the diet has done for us - and to set some intentions for positive changes we'd like to make in our lives as a result. We've gone to the trouble of disciplining our diet for, let's see Read More...
Day 18 – Detox diet plan
May 2nd, 2011 by Tonya
Takin' it slow Weaning ourselves off the detox diet needs to be undertaken with as much sensitivity as we undertook the process of taking the foods out of our diets in the first place. Take it slow. Be gentle (more...)
