Kitchari Fast
I decided to start the year by doing a Kitchari fast in order to cleanse my system. I did overindulge like everyone else during the Christmas new year break and though this was a good reset. A patient mentioned she does it regularly and I had a look into it.
I am not one for a juice fast because my digestion does not react well to it but it reacts very well to lentils.
I found this great recipe online
