The "Goop" Detox



www.goop.com is Gwyneth Paltrow's website. On this site you'll find a very intriguing detox program. After a week of tropical island gluttony (too much coconut ice cream, coconut pie & bread pudding), my corporate sisters and I decided to take the plunge into goop and do this detox for a week. The food isn't actually as bad as you would imagine. I actually started to enjoy my blueberry almond smoothie by the end of the week, and could tolerate coconut water. The salmon and miso soup was a treat, and the supergreens juice was surprisingly tasty. The beet juice however... watch out. That stuff packs a gingery-punch! Make sure to plug your nose. Although the lack of calories leaves you feeling like the walking dead, the super-skinny feeling definitely makes up for it!
