About Megan

                                        Megan's your
                                        typical girl
              next door. She's a freelance
journalist living, working and playing in London town. When she's not at work she can usually be found in a coffee shop, hanging out with friends and generally putting the world to rights.

Ideally she'd like to spend more time in the gym, and less time working - but then, who wouldn't?

If you don't count an addiction to lattes and pick n mix, she leads a pretty healthy lifestyle - although nothing close to what she's gonna experience on the detox diaries.

What’s it all about?

Ever wondered whether the ‘organic’ lifestyle is all it’s cracked up to be? Pondered over a glass of wine about doing a proper detox? Or stopped to consider what effect the long list of chemicals on your shampoo bottle is really having?

We have…and so the detox diaries were born.

The idea is simple - take one ordinary girl (well, woman really) strip away as many chemical elements from her life as we can, sit back…and watch. That means coffee, chocolate and alcohol are replaced with water, fruit and many, many vegetables. Oh, and a particularly foul tasting detox shake. Well, we didn’t say it would be easy. But that’s not all. Every part of her lifestyle must change - her products, cosmetics…and even deodorant. It’s a total make-over. The guinea pig: a fairly healthy journalist with an appetite for a challenge. She said ‘prove this stuff works’, we said ‘ok’, and this is what happened…

Nikki Daniels is Megan’s nutritionist. Or rather her lifeline throughout this whole experiment. She’s planned the detox, written the menus and is responsible for that foul tasting medicine!
