A cleanse for BEAUTY!

As many of you know, I am all about eating for beauty. It helps me stay on track! Here is a free cleanse from nutritionist Keri Glassman (from the 02 diet). This diet focuses on antioxidant rich foods and counts something called an ORAC, which helps to reduce the free-radicals in your system, which cause distress to your body and aging. I am all for this, as focusing too much on calories makes me so so anxious--and not to mention obsessed! This cleanse looks delicious. Its simple and I love that you can ACTUALLY eat. Keri promises that you will lose weight, feel radiant, and help to in a sense "re-set" your body, something I think we could all use after the holidays! Enjoy!!
