Liver Cleansing Diet

[Aliantha]

As some of you already know, I've recently found out there's a bit of a problem with my liver. Yes I know I drink too much, but that's all over now. I haven't touched a drop since the 15th of Feb and I don't intend to for the next 8 weeks or so, and after that I'll be a fair bit more moderate about things.

Anyway, so I've decided to do the liver cleansing diet which is described in the book of the same name by Dr Sandra Cabot.

I wasn't going to start it till today, but I actually was very excited about it and started at the end of last week. It's not as tough as I thought it would be. I expected to be feeling a bit like shit by now, but I think the fact that I'd knocked off drinking and I already don't smoke, coupled with the fact that I've been gradually cutting out fats and dairy from my diet.

So this diet is supposed to cleanse my liver and provide me with a more healthy eating plan for the rest of my life. A great side effect is that I'm losing weight too. So far I've lost almost 5kg in the two weeks leading up to and having been on this diet.

I've got a long way to go, but I hope to have lost about 20kg at least by the
end of it. I'd then like to keep it up and lose another 10 - 15kg by mid year.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
