Guys,
Can each person pick one number and bring those items?
1) Celery, carrots and blueberries
2) Yogurt, honey and nuts
3) Organic apples (6)
4) Oranges
I can bring in yogurt, honey and nuts if that's OK with everybody. This is for lunch and snacks. For breakfast, we can boiled oats and bananas. I was thinking we could either make this at home for ourselves or these two items are also available downstairs.
Let me know how you feel about this.

Week 1
I feel like we should take a sensible approach and not try to go from 0 to 60 in 2 secs. Cutting down on some things is a good idea. Let's take a break from:
1) Alcohol. Shouldn't be a big deal unless you are in AA.
2) Coffee. This can be tough. Switch to Herbal Tea instead. If Herbal Tea doesn't work at all, Green Tea is OK for Week 1. Please use organic sugar in small quantities instead of artificial sweeteners.
3) Dairy. No milk, ice cream, cheese or butter.
That means it's OK to have Bread in Week 1 in moderate quantities. It's also OK to have meat but, eating white meat is better than eating red meat. Salmon, chicken and sea food should be great. We need to make sure we consume high amounts of fiber on a daily basis. We will also be eating multiple times (5-6) a day in small quantities and drinking a LOT of water.

The Why
Folks,
What are we going to get out of the detox program?
This is a compact of list of benefits I compiled from the web.
1) Increased Energy, Mental Clarity and better overall health.
2) Improved Immune Functions and as a result, disease and infection prevention.
3) A Lean trim body
What is this going to involve?
Reorienting our diet to foods that are more natural. This means reforming our lifestyle to undo addictions to sugar, caffeine, salt, high glycemic carbs, alcohol, drugs and tobacco.
Do I have to stop having fun?
No. What gave you that idea! It's about finding a way to have fun without abusing your body.
How long is this going to take?
We are doing a complete detox here. This program is about 4-6 weeks long. After the program is done, alcohol consumption can be resumed but it has to carefully planned.
Peace :)

Preamble
Hey folks
Welcome to our Detox Blog!
We have gotten around to taking the first step to that cleansing routine. It's the perfect time to do the detox. What a great note to start this summer!
At this stage we are going to put together all the information that we need in this blog. We are going to consolidate a bunch of different detox programs (liver, kidney and colon). And we'll also add some diets and exercises for other things like great skin, vision etc. We can also include meditation and yoga for a mind/body roundup.
Please share your opinions freely, that's what this blog is for. People on the team now:
1) Dom
2) Jib
3) Tina
4) Kyle
5) Kaushik
Our goal right now is to start on the on 5/11. This is the perfect time to stop binging on those beers, burritos and pizzas (you Kaushik!). Eat a lot of fiber, if you must drink this week, try to keep it to red wine. We'll layout a specific diet soon.
Peace :)
