It's been proven that chemicals in modern foods stay in your body and make you feel bloated, sluggish and "toxified". That's why it's not a good, but a GREAT idea to do a detox diet once a year. All it takes is one week and you'll feel energized, fresh and even less grumpy (and less eager to start fights on GFY).
So here's what you need to do for just 7 days in a row:

-drink 2+ litters of water a day. Add the juice of 2 whole lemons to each litter of water.
-stay away from caffeine (tea, coffee, chocolate, Red Bull, etc.)
-do not eat: meats of any sort, wheat in any form or fashion, sugars or premade, prepackaged, precooked foods, dairy (milk, cheese, butter or eggs) in any way.
-eat plenty of: fresh fruits and vegetables, potatoes, rice, oatmeal, beans, nuts, seeds, etc.
-season your foods with: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, chilis (fresh jalapenos and other types of fresh chilis you can buy at ethnic places), and lemon.

that's it! Let me know how you feel once you're done with your detox diet!
