ok I'm going on a three-week detox during which I will become suffused with energy and glowing like Gwyneth Paltrow. Anyone coming?

[Cappuccino]

I've even got a book

I am currently bidding farewell to chocolate and lager

tomorrow I need to go out shopping for green vegetables and gluten free muesli

I really ought to join you. Have just got dh to stick a pizza in the oven after we decided a dominos was too greedy seeing as we only had tea 3 hours ago. Not sure I am a good candidate! What's the book called...

which book?

what are the rules?
its desperate times requiring desperate measures round here

I'll join whats the regime?

it is this one

see it is only four quid

ooh look quick only five left

in the first week for breakfast I can have this muesli with rice or soya milk and then a banana and also some live yogurt with honey

or eggs on wheat free bread

and then for a snakc I can have some carrots and raw green things

and soup for lunch (recipes provided)

and some wheatfree biscuits or hummus if starving

and then for tea and I can have some grilled something or other

I can't have beer

I can't have dairy

I am hoping that I can't have thrush either I am pigging sick of thrush which is the whole reason for the experiment

Are you on commission Cappuccino?

ordered

She doesn't glow, she is just shiny.

Alledgedly.

I'm not there was another woman on mn going on about it the other day

I think she is actually sleeping with him

Well that's one way to stay slim i suppose, or so my dh would have me believe

lol mango

my dh did suggest a similar thing to me when I asked if he was thinking of taking up any exercise

So when do we officialy start?

Have ordered the book so I suppose I'd better savour this pizza, looks like it could be the last for a while

Maybe I should order one later

I am starting on Sun or Mon I think

depending on whether I get to the shops tomorrow

but you start whenever you like as long as you are here for me when I start screaming for coffee

So warn us ahead of time what can't we have?
