On the Wagon? Try a Cham-plain Mocktail
About once a quarter, Mike and I commit to a little ‘liver rest’ by going on the wagon for a week or so. As we wrote in The 6-Week Cure, alcohol is a delicious poison that must be detoxified by the liver, which adds to its work burden. In excess, of course, alcohol, can lead to the development of fatty liver, which can fuel insulin resistance, mid-body weight gain, and any of the host of maladies that make up the syndrome. Thus the prescribed two-weeks of abstinence from alcohol that begin The Cure.
