What do you do to detox?
I left P-town last Thursday morning for a long weekend away at my best friend's wedding. Highlights included the wedding (of course) but also about a million glasses of wine, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, vanilla velvet wedding cake, roasted pig, a fat cheeseburger, fried cheese, french fries, onion rings, and fiesta curly fries. I came home feeling happy but tired, and more than just a little rounder and puffier than normal.
I responded by sleeping (a lot), exercising, and eating lots and lots of veggies. It didn't seem to help. I still felt lethargic and tired. And then I remembered Kombucha -- the weird fermented tea that isn't that great but is oddly addictive. And though I don't know if the placebo effect is at work or not, it does make me feel like there is a little extra spring in my step.
M. eats cabbage soup to detox -- a spartan, Russian like stab at recovery. He claims that if you dose it with enough lime juice and hot sauce its good and nearly calorie negative. That is, it takes more calories to prepare and eat it than it does to digest it. I'm not so sure of this, but I guess what ever trick you can employ to get over the hangover hump is a good one.
