The term "elimination" refers not to bowel movements but rather to the fact that the diet requires you to eliminate potential food allergens (shellfish, sugar, gluten products, soy, etc.) for a specific period of time (anywhere from 2 weeks to several months), and then slowly reintroducing each food a few days at a time. That will allow the patient to determine what, if any, food they are reacting to.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame that Ms. Paltrow chooses to dispense medical advice in such an irresponsible manner. The diet isn't meant for people to "cleanse" but to serve as a diagnostic tool as well as to relieve them of possible symptoms related to chronic disease.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-36068086255928712822009-01-13T17:44:00.000-08:002009-01-13T17:44:00.000-08:00Since I think she's a good actress, I tend to defe...Since I think she's a good actress, I tend to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but from now on I'll stop using the phrase "I've got her back".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-82694966000500252252009-01-13T05:54:00.000-08:002009-01-13T05:54:00.000-08:00For God's sake, Gwyneth, why torture yourself for ...For God's sake, Gwyneth, why torture yourself for a week?

She always struck me as down-to-earth. <BR/><BR/>That said, I ran across her post on this 'diet' a few days ago and was disheartened. Super Greens Juice. Miso Soup with Watercress. Cucumber and Avocado Soup. Detox Teriyaki Chicken. Sure, it all looked yummy--well, except for maybe the Beet, Carrot, Apple and Ginger Juice--but what 'real' working woman has the time/energy to create those multiple recipes for multiple days? <BR/><BR/>Maybe that explains(partially) why real women (like moi) aren't skinny-minnies like Gwyneth Paltrow.Beth Ciottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251212401535078560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-59981353272175822172009-01-10T16:09:00.000-08:002009-01-10T16:09:00.000-08:00Doris Day was singing the praises of coffee enemas...Doris Day was singing the praises of coffee enemas long before Paltrow was born.

I misread your excerpt from the cleanse ...Oh jeez! I misread your excerpt from the cleanse diet menu and nearly choked on a chicken smoothie. Et mais évidemment, that shot of shellfish can really clean you out, especially if you’re allergic. <BR/><BR/>Here’s a true example of tunnel <I>hearing</I>. Last night we're at the counter of a “Big Shucks” oyster restaurant, and a woman is inquiring tentatively, “Do you fry the catfish in the same oil you use for the shrimp?” And I’m automatically thinking, this has got to be one of the worst cases of gastronomic OCD I’ve ever witnessed. “Whatever you do, don’t let that catfish oil touch my shrimp.” Until the party of four huddled for a consultation and it turns out it was the shellfish allergy issue.<BR/><BR/>Look, nobody loves to hark the snark more than moi, but I can’t help it, I just loves me that Gwyneth Paltrow. A fair to middlin’ actress, cute as a button, and over all, just one primo piece of fruit. In fact, if you look closely at the background of the photo you’ve posted, you’ll see what the folks at Gucci are apparently saying about her, <B>“U nice.”</B><BR/><BR/>We have Master Cleanse out twice a year to do our carpets, but they won’t go under the furniture. (One of the reasons I still miss Boston is, when we lived there, some of the dry cleaners were still called “dry <I>cleansers</I>. OK, right, that’s not one of the reasons, but I couldn’t think of any other way to share this factoid smoothly. You opened the door.<BR/> <BR/>Don’t know about you, but after watching that PBS series, even I would feel the need for an industrial strength enema after consuming half of Catalonia with Tweedledee and Tweedledum. (New tourism slogan, “Come to Spain, we’re really mouth-watering.”) Little known fact, even earlier, Massachusetts dry cleansers were known as dry <I>clysters</I>, but you could never get one-hour martinizing.<BR/><BR/>Now personally, I find the concept of imbibing one thing to evacuate some other things, to be counterintuitive and, well just plain wasteful in both the literal and figurative sense. Although that $3.95 liebfraumilch we picked up at Costco the other day did have some of the same properties as that gallon of crap they force feed you foie gras-style the night before the colonoscopy – albeit with a nicer <I>finish</I>.<BR/><BR/>To my mind the real problem with this dietary cleansing is the concept, the close juxtaposition of the consumption with the elimination. While you’re engaged in one, you can pretty much not completely disengage yourself from either the memory or the prospect of the other. And the nomenclature is no less critical. It’s important to make the process sound less medicinal and more alternative-medicinal, yet still tried and true. That’s where I’ve come up with the next new trend in getting your insides out.
