Thanks so much for your post. I was just looking yesterday for detoxing diet. This is just what I needed to see!
Thanks!

Sabina,
Just what I need ... a new me! I am definitely going to look at this more carefully and see what I can learn. Thanks so much. The only thing in my closet that isn't too snug these days is pajamas! I am going to eat some celery right now. ~ Rosemary
I like this - I've got to remember the lemon and warm water - I used to do this years ago and it really helped a lot - I would follow with cranberry juice - the real stuff - not sugared down. I like the ideas you shared
Great post Sabina and I tell you that lemon juice really works. I did a cranberry juice detox last year and lost 4 kgs in 10 days...all gained back unfortunately :( but this is definitely motivation for me and I have started my walking 3 - 4 times a week around our botanical garden, the post will be up this Saturday. Time to have a healthy 2009 and make good of my resolution..which was the same for the past many years when it came to losing weight haha :D
