i think the success would lie in not going absolutely mental on an up day. it will take some kind of will power but i think i'm willing to give it a shot. i'm on day 10 of an 11 day detox which has been incredibly strict. certain things you have to eat each day, there was a wide range but the ones i had were brocolli, an orange, an apple, a pair, two eggs, two sticks of celery, kale and two portions of meat. and then i couldn't have caffeine, sugar, sweeteners, gluten, refined white carbs, hardly any carbs other than those in fruit actually, and then you could eat anything else that wasn't in these catagories. i have lived mainly on stirfries without sauce or noodles and salads. and then one day where you drink a juice you make up. i have lost 5.5lbs so far. not bad in 10 days. but i need to be sure that i don't go insane when i finish or i'll pile it all back on. it's very easy to do a very low calorie day on this detox, so i think i'll do tomorrow as my first low day and start with an up day on tuesday which also handily ties in with going to see my mum for her birthday at the weekend. but like i say. i don't want to go insane. i just want to be able to dunk a biscuit in my tea if the need takes me. i've lost a stone so far, four to go...
