We have been very happily indulging in summer BBQs, amazing local summer fruit pies, pitchers of sangrias, mini kegs of beer (how can you resist that mini keg of Heineken at LCBO?!?!) and endless wine and cheese summer parties. We've also been slacking on going to the gym as we somehow convinced ourselves that walking and sweating back and forth to work in the sweltering heat counts as a workout. So we decided that it's time for a much needed week long mini detox.
Detox doesn't have to be complicated. Just think of it as a rest for your digestive tract and resetting your system. Makoto opted for his favorite Thorne MediClear Detox using a whole foods and brown rice diet. I decided to go on a detox heavy on fruits and vegetables with juicing as it's backbone. Both of us are going vegan this week and also keeping away from common allergens (dairy, wheat, corn and eggs), caffeine and alcohol (whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!).
Here are some of our must-haves and tips to get us through our mini-detox:
