okay - So I've not really considered myself on a diet.... I've more or less fixed my eating habbits to make much healthier choices. When I was in College one of my friends did the apple diet and raved about it.
it goes as follows:
The Apple Diet
Many health minded people in Europe follow an apple diet once a month to help keep the intestinal tract in a healthy condition. Recipes generally follow this regimen: For breakfast drink a glass of pure (no preservatives) apple juice mixed with juice of 1/2 lemon. Juices should not be chilled. Before lunch eat 1 or 2 apples with peel. At lunch drink the warm infusion of dried apple peel made like ordinary tea, sweetened with honey. Later eat 3 more apples with peels. At 4 or 5 o'clock drink more apple juice and in the evening eat a dish of applesauce sweetened with honey.
The diet is also taken for liver and kidney conditions, hardening of arteries and early symptoms of old age. The pectin and pulp-cellulose constitutents of apples have been described as acting somewhat like a sponge in the intestinal tract, absorbing decomposed wastes of metabolism and harmful micro-organisms and flushing them out from the body.
Basicly people - it's a natural enima. But it's good for you.
You can do the apple diet for up to one week and while you are on it you can not smoke and you can not drink beer. So this will be a test of strength for me.
So I'm going to try this out starting tomorrow morning. Anyone willing/and brave enough to join me?
