My girlfriend and I are on day 3 of a “cleansing diet” (read “starvation diet”).  I am not much of an activist about anything but I think I may have found my cause – to stamp out these “cleanses” in all shapes and forms.

These diets are supposed to “cleanse” your liver, or your kidneys, or your colon, or what have you.  Right now I feel like my body has been cleansed of my soul.  I’m starving.  I live in a first world country, and am choosing to deprive myself of things that are readily available, legal, and not really that bad for me.  I’m not talking about cutting out booze and McDonalds and the stuff that everyone knows is bad. I’m talking about good old salt, sugar, milk, and bread.  I’m not even supposed to have free range, hormone free, non-genetically enhanced chicken.  People are starving for real, not on purpose, all over the world and I’m doing it on purpose!?  

People say, “It’s better after the first few days”.  I hope so.  I have work do to and a life to live and I can barely function.  I’m going to try my best to survive this “cleanse” and I will keep you posted as we work our way through the ten days.  At this point, I say give me a colonic and get it over with.
