Taking the plunge

I have decided to follow this detox program for the designated 4 week time period. I have to admit that I first bought this book back in July and had intended to start the program in August, however, the plan seemed quite involved. It just never seemed like the right time to start, until now. The program requires the elimination of certain things from your diet; meat, dairy, alcohol, white sugar and flour, etc. While I am already a vegetarian, the eating portion of the plan seems like it requires much planning and fore thought. I wasn't ready until now to commit that much discipline. The book is also very dense and I feel like there is so much to remember. I'm sure once I get started it won't be so overwhelming. Another aspect of the preliminary preparation, there are several supplements that must be purchased beforehand. I already bought the herbs to make the recommended purifying teas. I have to admit that I wasn't able to procure ALL of the herbs called for in the recipes, I am however, not that worried about it. I expect to see results in spite of the missing ingredients. This plan not only focuses on toxins in our food and body, but it also looks at the toxins in our environment, our homes and our personal care products, which ultimately do end up in our bodies. The goal is to limit exposure to these poisons. Day one will be Monday, September, 29 2008. I have the whole weekend to prepare.
