Anyone know of any responsible detox programmes to follow? I don't want to spend a fortune on silly tablets or anything like that, but i feel as though i need a few days of eating nothing but natural ingredients and getting all the toxins and rubbish out of my system. was thinking of drinking some green tea and then just eating fruit,jacket potatoes, salad etc. is there anything in particular i should include? x
Carol Vorderman one is the best without a doubt. You avoid wheat, dairy, meat,caffeine, alcohol, salt, sugar and processed foods. There is still lots you can eat. Get the book. You need to do it for several weeks really, and you WILL feel grotty after two days as the toxins come out and you get withdrawal symptoms, but stick with it and you'll soon feel amazing!
Avoid the nightshade family potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc
Apparently the best foods are lamb rice and pears and lentils
least likely to cause sensitivity reactions according to a dietitian friend
I don't think anyone has really proved the benefit of 'de toxing' though... i do fruit and juice days though now and again but include carrot and beetroot juiices in the mix
There are four things you need for detox (IMO) Liver, lungs, skin and kidneys. If you just want to eat healthily though, I`d just stick to fruit, veg, lean meat and cut down on salt, alcohol and processed food.
