Reader Response: Did You Chow Down During the Super Bowl?

chipsAfter the Saints went home with Super Bowl rings last night, Michelle asked you guys on Facebook and Twitter – did you indulge in junk food during the game?

Some of you were like me and did:
@FFSCOLUMBIA — ugh!…my little nephew and I went thru a movie theatere style box of sour gummies in 15 minutes!
@PamperMeFab — I had this pumpkin bread (cake) from Trader Joe’s with cream cheese frosting. It was so delicious and worth every calorie!
@diahnee — hawt dawgs
@S_Tenuta — cake and panda express… YIKES! Thank god for tomorrows boxing class! Lol!
@rampea2 — Chips!! (lots of them)

And then a couple of you were unmoved by party treats:
Winona Patterson — Honestly, I behaved pretty well. My hubby made some awesome chili, and I didn’t gorge myself… but well, there was that cheese dip that I just couldn’t walk away from.
@thejenlevin — I was very good at the party today! Only ate some veggies and fruit! And no beer! Don’t need a slip up day right now!

Whether you overate or overdrank during the game, or you just need a little healthy detox, might I recommend the following Spa Deals

Cleanse Me Not

Cleanses are all the rage among young women (and men), especially in urban areas – a search for “cleanse” or “detox” can turn up hundreds of webpages extolling the virtues of these righteous purges, which usually consist of food regiments with little to no solid food. Proponents of cleanses say they flush out the fats, toxins, and chemicals that are part and parcel of a modern diet. Many companies offer pre-prepared cleanses, where customers can choose the length of time they’d like to “cleanse” and can purchase instructions and enough premade juices and liquids to last for that number of days.

Breakfas, lunch and dinner. Hmmm...

Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hmmm...

I’ve read about these cleanses, but I must admit I’ve been skeptical. I get irritable, moody, and nauseous when I’m hungry – I can’t imagine voluntarily subsisting on juice for more than a few hours, much less a few days, and I can’t imagine that depriving myself of solid food would really work to flush my system out. Jauntsetter recently posted a firsthand account of one of these cleanses that seems to agree with me – this blogger found that a cleanse made her feel worse, not better.

After reading that, I feel vindicated and quite sure I won’t be committing to a cleanse anytime soon. Have you tried any of these trendy cleanses or detox programs? What was your experience?
