Here's something I haven't tried...

...and I'm not talking about french-kissing an otter. I mean, I've never done that either, but I'm probably not gonna. Unless the otter is REALLY hot. I mean, like, a BABE. But the thing is, I don't know what makes an otter hot. Fur quality?

Wait. I'm off on a tangent, and I haven't even started writing.

I'm doing a 5-7 day fast. Starting Friday. It's a detox/cleansing thing, planned for by my semi-hippie-boxing-yoga-nutritionist person. For that time, all I get to drink is "lemonade" made with lemon juice, cayenne pepper and honey. Also, I'm supposed to take this oxidizing powder that makes you poop all the time.

My friend (who is quite outspoken about things) did this about six months ago. She told me that LONG after she shouldn't have been pooping anymore, she kept on doing so.

She would think "Now where were YOU hiding?"

Well, that sounds, um, terrifying. Now I REALLY wish I had time on my brief sojourn to NYC to catch up with you...not that we could have lunch anyway...

One question: Please tell me that there's lots of nice, unadorned water in your diet as well. Please, PLEASE tell me that. Because it's hot out there, dude, and I'd hate to see your fast end with an IV attached to a glucose bag, kwim?

mmmmmmmmm...

Otter sex.

good luck with the fast! You should check out bentonite for your next detox event. It's a strange tasting clay that draws the toxins out of your system.

mmmm..... strange tasting clay.

wow. I did that. My version was made with real maple syrup instead of honey and lasted a month though. Yeah, an entire month. That took some freaking willpower, let me tell you. I couldn't eat meat afterwards... I slipped and had a hamburger a week after I was done, and let me tell you, ouch. I mean ouch.

If you can last a month, I suggest that. Why? Because that's how long it takes for you body chemistry to change. See, the little critters that you're cleansing send food cravings to your brain. So when you crave sweets (or most other things that aren't good for you), it's not you craving these things. Scary, huh?

Regardless of what you decide, I can't wait to hear the updates. I've never been able to convince anyone else to try this. Well, at least not anyone who didn't cheat like crazy.

Detox? You mean no chocolate???? Very cruel.

Interesting. I'm not sure I would survive on one day of that, let alone 5-7. Good luck!

pooping that much is just not natural

That sounds like quite a commitment. Best of luck on that!
