Detox Archives

You may have attempted to go cold turkey, so to speak, from food and dove feet first into a water fast. The first few hours, you may have thought to yourself that you felt fine, felt amazing, actually, and really thought that you would survive those measly few hours without eating. And maybe you did...but maybe you didn't. Maybe you started salivating like a wild beast as the smell of freshly baked éclairs or jalapeño cheddar bagels wafted through your open New York City window and knew that you would die if you didn't get one... or both.
