Our Cleanse

My sister-in-law and I are halfway through the Clean Program, Dr. Alejandro Junger's 21-day cleanse. This is a huge accomplishment for us. Yesterday we were in a cousin's backyard on the next block for a barbecue, watching the Women's World Cup team choke and the topic of the cleanse came up. As the food was served, it was obvious to his cousins that we were eating like weirdos. One of my husband's aunts asked what diet we are on. After my best explanation she said without hesitation, "Don't eat for 2 days. That will clean you out."
