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

Well I can still have a goats cheese and honey salad so I will live

What have I let myself in for! Do you think it's safe to follow whilst breastfeeding?

Cappuccino · 25/05/2007 21:32

ooh mango I wouldn't

I still feed dd a bit but she is well over 2 it's more comfort than anything

ahh. Ds is almost 8months and doesn't have any formula at all. Just me and 3 meals. Perhaps I'll follow loosely ie cut out the crap. I find bf makes me really hungry and I just seem to dive on junk. Perhaps I will keep a pot of carrot sticks to hand?

paulaplumpbottom · 25/05/2007 21:39

I would ask my doctor 8 months might still be a bit young

Cappuccino · 25/05/2007 21:40

oh good idea

and I will need a strong helper in my hours of need

I am off now to have a huge dairy-filled drink

and a baileys chaser perhaps

Hi has anyone tried kefir plant/grain, it is a kind of milk/yogart drink you make and it helps lots of problems such as thrush, crohns, IBS and many more, just an idea

Cappuccino · 25/05/2007 21:46

no but what the hell

I already have a long list of stuff to get

www.thekefirshop.co.uk

my friend passed me on because after 3-4 weeks she felt much better.
I am waiting on my order arriving so cannot tell you more.

I've attempted the Joshi Detox,worked well for moi,lost weight ..felt fab and yeah, it got rid of my thrush too!.
First week is a complete mare.I really missed dairy 'specially cheese..but ate goats cheese and feta and oatcakes........salmon steaks with roasted veg was a staple for me,still don't have dairy but slipped and now I'm eating wheat/gluten..*sighs

Good luck!

Cappuccino · 26/05/2007 08:36

Twiglett · 26/05/2007 09:21

am i the only one who reads amazon reviews .. cos they aren't very good for this book

good luck though cap

Twiglett · 26/05/2007 09:23

its basically cut out wheat, dairy and alcohol isn't it?

anyone would feel better doing that for a short time

JoolsToo · 26/05/2007 09:28

yes just eat fresh foods and cut out the crap and get plenty of fresh air and exercise.

that'll be £4.99 please

paulaplumpbottom · 26/05/2007 16:24

I'll go grocery shopping tommorow afternoon, Hope the book shows up soon

Cappuccino · 26/05/2007 20:53

oh I don't know I am finding it quite useful

he is very friendly

and there are recipes

and anyhoo there are other things to avoid like nightshade veg (which I do know a bit about) and, well, I am finding it very useful indeed

OP posts:
Cappuccino · 26/05/2007 20:53

OP posts:
Cappuccino · 26/05/2007 20:59
