Celebrity Detox with Salli Richardson Whitfield

Today just happens to be my last day, and boy am I glad to be done. I am not going to bore you with all the reasons you should detox, you know them all. I am just gonna straight tell you that I feel great! My husband says I look great and I haven’t thought about coffee in about 10 days. So there  you have it!!!  It’s was worth every craving, every extra trip to the restroom, and every kale salad I ate. DETOX! DETOX! DETOX! DETOX! It’s the way to stay thin and healthy…

Today is day 19 for me, I’m very excited about completing my cleanse. It’s always towards the end when I stop to think, 20 days is a long time with little or no cooked foods.  Today, I have to finish up all the food for my son’s party. I’m not trying pretend I don’t want to sample some of the chocolate chip cookies I just baked from scratch. Hey, a girl’s only human!!! (LOL) All jokes aside this has been a wonderful experience for my mind, body, and spirit.  I am starting the year 2010, a…

Today is day 18 and basically the detox is done. Yippee! It’s just a matter of time now. After you’ve made it through 17 days, the finish line is a mere formality. I cannot wait until Sunday when I can have cooked foods. I am preparing my vegetable soup this evening, I always try and eat veggie soup the day after a detox. It’s a great way to implement foods back into your diet. Today will be my first official day back at the gym with the trainer. I took it easy during the detox, just giving my body time to detox. I feel like…

It’s day 17 for me, and I can smell victory coming my way. This was an extremely active detoxing time for me. My son has started walking, and he is all over the place. Running after him for a couple hours could make anybody tired. My oldest is 5 now, so she is into taking classes for everything. Even though it  has been full of activity and changes, I feel great and grounded. I am excited about going back to work with a renewed mind, body and spirit. Breakfast:  as always my smoothie…

Today is day 16 and the countdown has begun, only 4 days to go.  I am getting those remarks from people, “girl u too skinny!!”  Too Skinny!!! I will take it. I still wish I could have some real food though. I made some homemade baby food for my son today so my squash was a little steamed.  We took a long walk in the park this afternoon. Staying active is vital for working women. We give so much to our families we often forget to take care of ourselves. Going for a walk keeps me active and gives me special…

It’s day 15 and I am in the grocery store buying all the food one can imagine for this birthday party. Remind me why I decided to prepare all the food at the end of my detox? Everything looks and smells so good. Your senses are elevated on a detox because your body is free of toxins. Man I hope I can make it through the party without cheating. My husband was smart and decided to start his detox after the party. I wonder how he is gonna feel when I am eating cooked food and he limited to eating just raw…

It’s all about being a mom this week, my son is turning 1. I have plenty to do before the party, enough to keep me busy all week. No caterers for this party. I will be preparing all the food myself. I just hope one of my famous chocolate chip cookies doesn’t accidentally fall into my mouth. (LOL) The last days of this detox are crucial, I really want regular food, but I don’t want to d-rail all my hard work. KEEP FOCUSED SALLI! I keep repeating to myself. Don’t get me wrong, I feel great…

It’s day number 13 for me and I feel good but I want some regular food now! A weekend of passing up food can be taxing on a girl! It’s always around the last week where you get really tired of raw foods, and start to crave cooked meals. Steaming some veggies at this point, could make or break the detox. My family has been super supportive, and that’s a key factor in completing a detox.  Breakfast – Smoothie with strawberries, bananas, pineapples, blueberries, and apple juice.  Lunch – Fruit salad with papaya, avocado, banana, kiwi, raisins, dates,…

Today is day 12 and I am moving right along. I ran into a couple of old friends last night at a party. It’s always nice to chat with old friends. Detoxing puts a natural smile, down in your gut, and it shows everywhere you go! The party I went to was great, good music, plenty of laughter, and no raw food. I am telling everyone about the cleanse. (My husband begins to chuckle at me.) (LOL) Breakfast – Bowl of fruit Lunch – Steamed veggies (a little cheat) …

Today is day 11 for me and so far so good. My day was filled with family activities. It started with breakfast, I made Banana Pancakes for the kids, and I had a smoothie and a bowl of fruit. I am up and out early, considering I stayed up pretty late. My event was great! I had my lasagna before I left so I wasn’t worried about eating at the party. Already the afternoon, and I am off to the park with my kids and the dog for a walk. After our walk…

Today is day 10 and I am half way through my detox. I feel great. My stylist came over early so I could try on some choices for my events this weekend. Man oh man this detox is wonderful, it’s not just the weight it’s my skin texture, my attitude, my swagger. I feel better than ever! Stay tuned, and I will tell you how my red carpet events turned out! I plan on eating before I leave, it’s unlikely they will have a huge selection of raw snacks after the red carpet. (LOL) …

Today is my day # 9, I woke up early, and took a brisk walk around my neighborhood. I estimate the distance was just under a mile and a half for the complete walk.  Physically I feel great, my groin feels just fine. I am pleasantly surprised about  my energy level, (especially in the morning) where it’s needed the most. I am a working mom and wife, so having extra energy in the morning without my coffee, well, lets just say I am a very happy camper now. I have a couple of events this weekend so my stylist will be stopping by with a…

My day started earlier than usual, son decided he wanted to wake up at 5:30 and my daughter decided she wanted to wake up as well, so we had a cartoon festival in my room until 830. I have a full day ahead of me, meetings all day. I feel great with no coffee this long. I thought I would have lost it by now, but I am surprisingly not missing it. I am almost ready to begin walking, my groin is healing just fine, a lot faster than I expected. I usually work out 4 to 5…

Today was great my energy level has increased so much!! As I breeze through running ALL my errands, I feel really great inside, emotionally I feel balanced. When you detox your organs and body, it makes you feel like you have balance in you life. As for the diet I was completely bored after 6 days of just about the same thing. So, I decided to swing over to my favorite health food grocery store for a change in the food selection. Check out my new snack (Yummy!!) Breakfast – Smoothie with strawberries, banana, raspberry,…

Monday. It’s Monday and I am moving forward. I will admit I am really bored with the diet. My favorite restaurant has become my least favorite. I have a groin injury and that means no work out for now. No auditions or readings today. I am looking for an alternative to this diet, stay tuned because I got some time on my hands. I plan on making up some yummy raw alternatives to cheating!!!!!! Oh yeah, still not missing coffee!!!!!! Breakfast – Smoothie blueberries, mangoes, and strawberry (hemp seed). Lunch – Broccoli,…

Sunday. Peaceful day at home with family, playing barbies with my daughter was totally fun. OK, remember we talked about the stomach pouch going away after only two days. Not only did it disappear but my stomach seem to be losing some inches. A pair of jeans that normally fit tight around the waist are now loose! 5 days detoxing + 5 days raw foods =  me back in my (Skinny Jeans). Girls you know how hard it is to get rid of that last little inch around the waist!!! (NO tummy tuck for me) (LOL) (That’s a Hollywood joke). Breakfast…

Today is Saturday, and once again I am up and about with no coffee. I feel really energized, and ready for my day of fun. I took my daughter to a birthday party, and of course, they did not have any raw food (I wonder why???). Against all odds, I did really good,  no cravings, as I watch the sugar parade pass me by. I feel great and comfortable no cheating for me. (LOL) Saturday evening I treated my self out to a movie, with my detox buddy (it’s always good to have a buddy). OK, we are sitting in…

Today is day number 3, and I feel really great. I thought I would miss my coffee in the morning. Surprisingly not a problem for me. It’s Friday,  and I am in complete MOMMY mode. Plenty of energy for two kids, with no coffee is a miracle. I would say. We will see how I feel on Sunday after a weekend alone without my husband (out of town) LOL!!!! *Breakfast – Started with my smoothie, made with blueberry, bananas, apple juice, and my new avorite ingredient hemp seed. *Lunch –  Hummus with a raw dip, (umm good). (snacks…

Today is day two for me. I’m not really sure, because I generally eat healthy. But, for me it only takes a minute for the herbs to get to work. The first days of the detox are always great!!! No work today! Yippee!! But, I had to run some errands, so I was ducking in and out of the restroom all day!!   (LOL) I am telling you all if you have some sort of fear of using restroom, the detoxing will clear it all up!!!  Oh!! I almost forgot. I had a small pouch in my stomach, from all…

Hey Guy’s it’s me Salli, and for the first time in my  life I will be allowing the viewers to follow me on my journey to detox my body from toxins and waste. First let me give you a little history on how I live my life, and my purpose for detoxing. Generally speaking I maintain a healthy diet ( all natural food ), my youngest child is not even a year yet , and I have already gotten down to my pre baby weight. My main purpose for detoxing to to start my new year off with…
