Some people have already started (and finished!) like Diana - who did Beyonce's maple syrup and lemon juice diet for a week. I have no idea how she lasted. I felt so so bad for her when we were scoffing yummy sandwiches last week at the launch of our French magazine and she - as dedicated as she was - sipped on her water.
Or Joey, who took on the apple only diet. I am sure she is sick of the sight (and taste) of apples by now.
I, however chose a less adventurous one and perhaps less extreme. The reason being, I know myself and I would NOT be able to last a full week on one food item. I would be setting myself up for failure - and that's not fun. So I am doing the raw food only diet. This will consist of fruit, vegetables, nuts, prawns (raw of course) and I might even try sushi etc etc...
I officially start tomorrow but since I didn't know how to use the juicer I did an experiment today - which my mam kindly helped me with. I made a smoothie, consisting of 3 kiwis, 1 banana, natural yogurt and crushed ice.
It only took 5 minutes to make. Firstly I peeled the three kiwis and cut them into small pieces. I then did the same for the banana. I threw them into a big bowl where I had emptied the small tub of natural yogurt. I then unleashed the hand held blender on it - which was lots of fun. Afterwards I crushed the ice and popped it in. And there you go! EASY!
It didn't taste amazing. It didn't taste rank. It was ok, quite bitter but I suppose that is the mixture of kiwi and natural yogurt.
Tomorrow I plan to go to the local Get Fresh where my friend conveniently works to stock up on some fresh produce. I may also call on my good friend Frankie to use her 20% discount in M&S for some nice prawn salad treats ;)
For now, I will eat my Sunday roast and devour some of the choco-delights my parents bought in the weekly shopping - forgetting that I was embarking on this adventure!!!
