Everyday Detox for the Every Man
Everyday Detox by Megan Gilmore is not your average detox program. It is less a full-scale program, and more a way of living which sounds interesting but is not very sustainable long term....at least for me.
The general concept behind Everyday Detox is that our bodies process food more easily if it only has one food group to focus on at a time. If you want a baked potato, have a baked potato, but leave off the butter and sour cream and steak. If you want that steak more, have it, but don't load your plate with carbs or dairy. You are instead supposed to load it up with the "freebies" (green vegetables basically).
I enjoyed the individual recipes that I tried, however, I wasn't able to eat more than a few meals without combining the food groups. If I had more willpower or ,let's be honest, desire to eat that way, perhaps I could have toughed it out. But I would rather eat a baked potato with butter and sour cream more sporadically than have a boring and sad potato whenever the mood hits me.
