Ladies, if you've suffered through a juice cleanse you know how painful it is to deprive yourself of food, I have good news for you! I'd like to introduce the Taco Cleanse! It may sound a bit strange, but this cleanse allows you to eat tacos, lose weight, and you WON'T even have to starve.
I don't know about you, but this sounds like a godsend weight loss plan to me! So how does the Taco Cleanse work?

The cleanse was created by food blogger The Lazy Smurf who teamed up with taco scientists (those exist?) and put together a vegetarian cleanse to help her drop the weight without starving. The blogger, whose name remains anonymous, remembers falling in love with tacos after moving to Austin, Texas.
This inspired her to develop the vegan based Taco Cleanse which is broken down by a pyramid chart featuring the different levels. Each stage requires you to eat tacos for each of your meals. It's as simple as that! At the top of the chart the cleanse that lasts a day is called "Mild." Then it's followed by "Medium" which is three days worth of taco eating. A week's worth of cleansing is called "Hot," and the final tier which lasts a month is called "Fuego."
Admittedly, the blogger says that preparing and cooking for the Taco Cleanse takes some work, but offers a few base foods you should have on hand such as tortillas, beans, brown rice, peppers, and other vegan based items. There is no meat in this cleanse, but you can use some substitutes like tofu, tempeh, and more creative ones, like vegan chicharrones. She even provides some recipes for inspiration during your cleanse, whether you're looking for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner idea.
If you love tacos then this is the perfect cleanse for you and with so many variations, you can't get bored no matter how long you do it for!
