It's the New Year! Time to embrace disordered eating and repeatedly flush your colon with water. Or at least, that's what Gwyneth wants you to do:
As always, the rules are simple (but tough). Just say no to: alcohol, caffeine, added sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and nightshades (white, blue, red, and yellow potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant).
You want to keep your digestive system moving, so drink plenty of water (hot water in the morning is key), and think about kicking the week off with a colonic—they definitely get things going. We also try to get to the spa for a handful of treatments: Anything that gets the lymphatic system moving is clutch, and IR saunas are particularly great (and effective) as sweat is one of our body’s most effective means for flushing toxins.
Jesus christ.
Gwyneth provides helpful links to her quack buddy Dr. Junger's website, where you can buy a 21 supply of powdered shakes in chocolate and vanilla flavors for $425.
She also enlists the help of two guys who are not doctors and are largely considered quacks in the scientific community to scare you with a bunch of junk science.
NPR investigated the efficacy of detoxing diets, and the prevailing opinion in the medical opinion is that it's bullshit and snake oil, since your organs can detoxify your body without the aid of a specialized diet (provided you don't have some sort of blockage, and a diet isn't going to fix that -- you need to see a doctor, okay).
Also, the Mayo Clinic cautions that colon cleansing, as GOOP recommends, increases your risk of dehydration and infection, depletes your electrolytes, and could PERFORATE YOUR FUCKING BOWELS.
