Sometimes when feeling so lethargic, I figure it would be really good to go into one of those detox diets. I remember one of my ex-coworkers in Canada, that went through this craziness for 8 days, only drinking a mix of lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper diluted in water. I would never be able to do such thing, and to be honest any other kind of detox diet makes me think. Why? Because I have Diabetes, I have to take medication, and I can’t afford to just tell my body “Hey, not going to eat, you’re on your own.”

I’ve looked everywhere for a detox diet suitable for diabetics and there really isn’t one that I can’t do without being under medical supervision. We have to eat, healthy I may say, we must eat to help our pancreas and cells to process whatever they need to process. There are tons of ads out there for diabetes detox diets showing little bottles with God knows what kind of liquid in them. I’m always a little wary, especially after my nutritionist insists so much about a normal diet where I make my metabolism speed up and that includes not skipping meals.

However, it is not so difficult. I found a few tips that may help me, and I’m going to put them in practice starting tomorrow and see how it goes. The idea of not eating junk food isn’t so horrible. Eat more fruits and veggies? Easy. Drink more water? I love water. Try to go to a sauna at least once a month… I guess I will have to check into that.

Wish me luck. I feel like I need to get rid of a lot of crap. Physically and mentally.
