WE PROMISE WE’RE not sadists here at TheScore.ie and as our loyal reader, we only have your best interests at heart.
So when you don’t see the word ‘coffee’ down below, take a deep breath, don’t panic and please, please don’t click the little ‘x’ in the top right corner.
There is no coffee in this diet, and while admittedly it’s the best damn thing in the world, it’s little more than a superficial boost. But you knew that, didn’t you?
We’re going for something a little more basic, a little less dressings, a lot less sugar, a whole lot more stuff that grows in the ground or on trees, and just a little help from the health food shop.
