…and what we learned from it.
December was a month of many parties, and numerous pumpkin-spice lattes for me. Come January I promised myself to clean up my diet.
Most of us tend to eat mindlessly unless we consciously decide not to. Dairy and gluten insidiously creep into my plate and down my throat before I can squeak in protest. I try to go gluten & dairy free every once in a while. This time I decided to make all 31 days of January about elimination. I eliminated all food items known to cause inflammation in the body such as gluten and dairy. The body needs 21 days to completely reset, and I decided to test my willpower and continue the diet for the entire month.
The great thing about being active on social media is that you are always connected to like-minded people. I didn’t want to go on a cleanse alone, and within a couple of days I had 14 people who wanted to join me in my cleanse, thanks to the joy that is Instagram.
