After the holidays State-style, I decided I would salvage what was left of my figure, my skin, and my brain by doing a one month detox. That means no drinking, smoking, or coffee-drinking. No meat, no chocolate, and lots of fiber. Ok, well, at least less. At home I am being pretty successful. I found a natural food store up the street that has some yummy fiber-y snacks. Of course, last night at Stephane's mom's I was pretty much force-fed "fresh" foie gras and a galette de roi (king cake...Stephane was the king and I was the queen!). The cake was delish, but I am pissed that my good intentions were ruined by something as foul (both to the palette and to the conscious) as foie gras.

In any case, I invested in some Yogi Detox Tea, 20 euros worth of fruits and vegetables (if you're buying from an Arab at the outdoor market, this amount = A LOT), and some 6-grain bread. It seems to be cleaning the system well. Does anybody else have any suggestions for a successful, purifying detox? Nothing too crazy. I am not going to ask around the neighborhood for a home enema kit.
