From nutritionist and behavioral therapist, Dana James
This cleanse is designed to be used between your holiday parties to help keep you sparkly, vitalized and fitting easily into your party dresses.
Find three days when you’re not drinking alcohol. These will be your cleanse days. They do not need to be consecutive. Just three days per festive week. This is a gluten-free and dairy-free meal plan. Choose organic as much as you can. Your meal sizes are equivalent to the size of your two hands. Drink eight glasses of filtered water per day. Keep caffeine to one cup per day of either coffee or tea. Aim to eat every three hours. Most importantly have fun! Bond with some girlfriends and do it together.
