Detox Day 2 - Headache anyone?

So today is Day 2 - you may have had an excellent day yesterday and are wondering why today you're experiencing a headache! This is normal, most detox reactions happen between day 2-4, headache being the most common. This is your body withdrawing from your addictions (caffeine, sugar, white flour etc).
My tip #2 - increase your water intake. Get 50% more than you usually do. I also recommend having 1-2 cups of green tea to offset the coffee withdrawl headache!

Last night for dinner I made a fabulous recipe from Delicious Detox (Carol Morely's book - available at our clinic) - the spring green tuna pasta dish. I used the fennel, tuna, pesto and brown rice pasta but didn't have asparagus - it was still DELICIOUS (see pics of my boys loving it). I served it with a spinach salad. This meal is so good you don't feel like you're on detox.

Today before work i threw together a simple soap with onion, carrots, celery, sweet potato, red kidney beans, organic chicken broth, oregano, basil and about 4 cups of kale and beet tops. Super tasty! Make leftovers so you don't have to cook constantly!
