Gwynnie's doctor, Alejandro Junger, recommends a detox once a year to rid organs of processed food and environmental toxins. This year Gwyneth went without processed foods and additives for 3 weeks. That means no packaged foods, including protein bars and store-bought salad dressings. Tough one, but I'm going to give it a try. To up my veggie intake, I just signed up for The Farm Box, a weekly delivery of farm-fresh produce from Sunizona Family Farms.
I couldn't agree more. When I'm hungry, all bets are off. So I vow to always carry almonds and apples around with me for on-the-go eating.
Gwyneth isn't a fan of the scale. As she puts it, "It can leave you vulnerable to shame and guilt, and it messes with you psychologically." I actually don't even own a scale and can't remember the last time I weighted myself. I go by how my clothes fit. If the pants start to get snug, time to cut back on treats and turn up my workouts. And the pants are getting a tad snug.
Believe it or not, but G kicks back with a glass of red wine in the evening and even smokes a cigarette on a Saturday. Shocking, I know. But it's true; you need the "right amount of naughty" to keep you sane and vibrant. Plus, planned cheats keep me from going hog wild. My guilty pleasures of choice: chocolate and diet coke.
Do all of the above and this is how you'll look!
