Download the full cleanse schedule without dates
We would like to be the first to say (though unfortunately we aren't) that starting a cleanse the day after the new year is ambitious. Especially when that cleanse requires a huge trip to the grocery store and a few hours of preparatory cooking to assemble our Make-Ahead Pantry. Sara Dickerman, who has been cooking her way through our Food Lover's Cleanse since Monday, is hardcore. A hero!
But, dear readers, this does not mean that you had to start Monday or that you've missed your chance. You can cook your way to healthier eating habits any time using our two-week schedule. Our exploration of the cleanse through Sara's cooking journal is there for you to consider, to learn from, and to take on whenever it's convenient for you. --Emily Fleischaker, Online Editor
