Detox

I think my body needs a good detox... anyone got any good tips?

My last detox

I don't detox that regularly, a girl simply doesn't have time... but I try to do this at least once every 4 months... It only takes 3 days...start on a friday, so you're you can chill over the weekend and you'll be back on form by monday.

N.B Absolutely no coffee, tea, alcohol during this time)

Day 1 - Concentrate on drinking loads of water and fruit juice to kick start the detox.
Have a light breakfast, a small bowl of pasta for lunch, and a light salady supper. Get outside and go for a walk for an hour at some point during the day.

Day 2 - No fruit juice today, but masses of water instead. Have fruit for breakfast and then light, healthy meals for lunch and supper. I don yoga, which helps shift the toxins out of your body... Try stretching, or have a massage if you don't have an exercise regime.

Day 3 - Make sure that this falls on the weekend, as you'll feel pretty shaky and weak. Drink loads of water, and eat nothing but fruit all day.

The day after... I always find that I am starving!! But I wake up feeling really alert and ready to go. I'll have a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and I feel really fantastic by the time I get to work.

Something a bit radical...

My flatmate did this detox, can't say that I'm tempted myself... You need to do it on a weekend, when you have nothing planned, as you'll spend most of it in loo, if you know what I mean:

Basically, you drink a pint glass filled 50/50 with orange juice and olive oil.
Nil by mouth after that, but I doubt you'll want anything.

You will be running back and forth to the toilette as the stuff does its work, but try not to go too often. Apparently it really does the trick... you even pass crystals!!

You are meant to repeat it a few weeks later, but this friend of mine could't face it twice!!!

Does this radical detox work???

I do know that it sounds yuck, but, I am desperate and would give something, anything a try and if this is going to help me shed then I will go for it!!!!

Whats Crystals????

Urgghhh!!!

That sounds disgusting... can you imagine trying to drink that mixture, I'd gag so badly!!!

My favourite juice

... is apple, orange and ginger. It may sound a bit odd, but it is totally delicious, and a top detox plan too!

Buy a juicer

I always think that detoxes are a rather painful business, all about denying your body certain things and then filling it with weird concoctions to give it a boost... No thaks!!

A good but simple way to detox your body, is just to make sure that you are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need. Making your own juices is a really great way of doing it, and delicious too. Once you have started makin gyour own concoctions, you'll never think that shop bought juices are what they should be.
