Save me Dr. Joshi, you're my only hope!


After a few weeks of extreme over-indulgence on my holidays, I have decided to embark on Dr. Joshi's 21 day detox program. I got up late this morning, went out for breakfast and had a large cappucino and egg and cheese panini. I bought the book, and read it lying out on the porch sipping coffee and eating chocolate. As you can imagine, this detox thing may prove to be a challenge for me! Still, I think I am up for the challenge. Dr. Joshi will still allow me to eat many foods that I love - veggies, yoghurt, bannanas, goat's cheese, tofu - so I am hoping that I can get by. Eliminating coffee and alcohol will be difficult, but I have been so sluggish and having so many headaches lately, that I'm ready to try anything that might help. So, wish.me.luck.

Oh, and I just want to say that I didn't buy the book because of the Gwyneth Paltrow thing on the cover. If anything, that freaked me out a little.

I'd love to hear how this goes!

Is it good? I'm curious - and might order it myself, after all this wine and macarons :-)

Mishka, don't worry, I am sure that I will be boring everyone with my progress, or lack thereof!

And, Marieke, I am not sure yet whether it's good. The book is definitely interesting, a lot of his ideas are based on ayervedic (sic?) principles.

I've been taking detox pills for the past two weeks - and I'm not impressed. I'd like to try the Dr. Joshi diet instead. Any suggestions are appreciated until I can get a copy of the book.
