Don't you dare! I need you around.

When I was in my 20s I used to detox one day a week.
Water and fruit only.
It made me so irritable even by lunchtime. And by the evening I would have been genocidal if I hadn't had such a crashing headache. Found it hard to sleep too, despite being exhausted from mid-afternoon onwards.

My poor husband called them Black Wednesdays.

My work colleague/ partner in crime said it was the toxins coming out, although about a year after I gave them up she admitted she'd only managed two weeks without cheating in the six months we did it together.

Knowing what I know now, I think the heachaches and mood swings came from overdosing on fruit sugar and the energy troughs from carbs.

The moral of the story?
Don't trust a bulimic friend with no evidence to back up her claims.
