Like me, you might lack sympathy for friends embarking on a cleansing diet because you have no idea what that means. Thus in an effort to generate greater compassion, I'd like to offer the full list of "not allowed" foods on my 21 day liver cleanse:
- red meat (including pork and veal), cold cuts, hot dogs, sausage, eggs, egg substitutes;
- milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, ice cream, goat & sheep cheeses, non-dairy creamers, any products made with casein;
- all corn and corn-containing products;
- all breads and cereals made from wheat, oat, spelt, kamut, rye, barley & other glutenous grains;
- citrus, strawberries, dried fruit preserved with sulfites;
- coffee, tea, cocoa, postum, alcoholic beverages, soda, sweetened beverages, citrus drinks;
- margarine, shortening, butter, refined oils, salad dressings, spreads;
- peanuts pistachios, peanut butter, macadamia nuts;
- brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, corn syrup, fructose, vinegar;
- salt, soy sauce, mayo, ketchup
And while I'm tapping your compassion, has it occurred to anyone else that THANKSGIVING falls within my 21 days of restriction?
I mean, what's the point of turkey without stuffing and pie?
