This is the old standard – the master cleanse detox.
Most people try this one as it is not too difficult. Don’t get me wrong it is tough to hit the 7 day mark. I found the recipe here:

“Detoxing” your body is the latest in a series of fads which actually do not help you body. Eating healthy, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain foods and limited amounts of red meat will keep your body right where it needs to be.

Please don’t get caught up in detox thing, it is not good for you.

Your body has had millions of years to learn how to keep itself healthy. You don’t have to mess with mother nature.

Jill answers:

I would personally suggest against doing a detox with only a week left, unless you only do that for a day or two. It sometimes takes the body 3-4 days at the most (usually 2 to calm down) to “recover from detoxing” (stop any loose stools that come from the high fiber blend you take). That being said, taking that for a couple days should work well to help you feel cleaner for your trip. Good luck!

Advantages of Detox Drinks:

Detox Drink RecipeStarting a diet program for your body is very beneficial for you. It gives the necessary rest to the systems of the body by giving it a break from worthless substances that are no more than junk for us. These junk foods only provide futile fats to the body that are later broken into other harmful substances. All of these features are included in the diet plan provided by detox drinks.

Detox Drinks, a Perfect Start:

If you want to start a detox diet program always start it with detox drinks which are able to remove the tonic materials from the body. To begin Detox drinks program, take fresh lemon juice made of one glass of warm water and half lemon without eating anything in the morning as soon as you get up. The detox drinks stimulates the juices in the stomach and activate out body systems which in turn begin to function efficiently. One should try to take as much fluid as one can. This is the essential condition of detox drink program. Try to take eight glasses of water at least everyday and you will feel the remarkable difference in your skin; how soft and smooth it becomes. These detox drinks will provide energy to the body and one can feel as if strength has been poured into him/her and detox drinks also rejuvenate the person simultaneously. Starting with a lemon drink you can follow up with any fruit juice such apple juice, carrot vegetable juice and peach juice.

Jill answers:

Are you allowed to use dill? If so then youcould mix some dill with the yogurt along with the spinach and garlic and black pepper and make a nice dip for carrots and celery (and rye bread.

You could boil the cardamom and cinnamon and ginger together, mix in the soy milk add lemon and honey to taste and have a nice chai latte.

You could boil up the brown rice with carrots, celery, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and carrot juice, spoon the mixture into boiled cabbage leaves, top with more lemon zest and carrot juice and pop it in the oven for stuffed cabbage rolls.

Jill answers:

I lost 22lbs on Isagenix.
It is a very easy and effective system to use.
A bit pricey, but you save on groceries and meals/drinks out so it is not so bad.

I have kept it off for the most part, but do a cleanse day once a month.
Good Luck!

Jill answers:

Detox diets are mainly for flushing toxins not weight loss as a whole. It is kind of a jumpstart and it does work very well in increasing your enery and making you feel great ! And it helps you get rid of a sweet tooth if it is done effectively

Jill answers:

Detoxification needs lots of water and fibers in your diet to flush out toxin from your body. Add natural Vita.c ( orange , guava, amla) in diet for rejuvenation. Avoid too much salt and sugars or any preservatives. Have lots of fruits salads.

Have a nice day

Jill answers:

When I detox I just fast. Two or three days of it and you won’t be bogged down.

== Heart Of Saturday Night ==

Jill answers:

Yep.
But dont expect to loose much.
In the long run you will loose more after the detox.. Since your body will become very responsive.
For example, exercixe will be much easier and results will come much faster.

Be careful tough, since people somtimes confuse detox wiht starvation and that can kill you fast.

Jill answers:

Yeah, a flush. No solid food. I’ve heard water, orange juice and coffee do the trick.

Jill answers:

1) Your Diet
You can’t tell yourself “not to eat as much”.
You must calculate your calorie intake per day. This is very important. 85% of successful weight loss goes to your diet.
Choose lighter meal, cut down on the portion you take.

To calculate your calorie intake, Try this website:

http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/

2) Exercise
You have to exercise.
Jogging, walking, or swimming are good choices.
I recommend you not to stress yourself out, just enjoy the sport you like.
Try exercising for minimum 4 days per week, each session at least 40 minutes.

If you follow the tips above, most likely you can lose 0.5kg~1kg per week.

Don’t lose more than 2kg per week.
It’s unhealthy, and the fats will “bounce back” quickly.

Let’s work hard towards our goal. Good luck!

Jill answers:

Stay away from all carbs, fats/sweets for a week. Detox shouldn’t be a main drink or meal, it should just be very healthy food for at LEAST a week. Smoothies (low fat yogurt, frozen fruit, and orange juice) is a quick “cleanser” if you will.

Jill answers:

There is no secret

The key is: Diet Diet Diet, then exercise:

You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! Also add more fiber. The fiber and protein will fill you up, helping you to cut down on your unhealthy eating. Also by eating more than 3 meals spread out through the day you will kick your metabolism in high gear. Here is a general meal for a day:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs
whole wheat toast
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Cottage Cheese with veggie

Lunch: Turkey, lettuce, tomato, whole wheat bread sandwich
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Turkey Burger ( no bun )
Side of brown rice
Side of Broc.

Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. Do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. Do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn. Cardio can be a sport: basketball, soccer, football, anything with losts of movement. Golf is a no no.

So Example :

Monday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Tuesday – 1 hour lifting
Wednesday – Rest
Thrusday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Friday – 1 hour lifting
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

Jill answers:

I heard about that and asked my father about it- you are not doing your body justice with that. You may think your cleansing- but your really killing.

Try laxatives instead- and when you finish you will need to eat a lot of yogurt to replace all of the organisms that will have died.

Jill answers:

You take the fruit diet for 2 weeks and then strat eating wheat bread , brown rice and tuna …cucumbers ..and jilt the soda . More water …and eat 3 meals in a day

Jill answers:

By simply drinking water and fresh fruit juices everyday, liquid detoxifies your body and eliminates toxins.

Jill answers:

You’re right that changing your diet will likely result in weight changes. What are you planning on eating during the “detox”? I’d recommend plenty of fruit (that you’re fairly sure you’re not allergic to) and vegetables, and eliminate the canned, processed and boxed/frozen foods. For your grains, oatmeal with some brown sugar ought to do the trick to stay as plain and natural as possible. So if you shop at the outer edges of your local supermarket, you’ll find the foods most healthy for you. The exceptions would be the oatmeal and brown sugar, and frozen veggies are an easy food to make and are quite filling and good for you.

Jill answers:

Actually, detoxing won’t specifically force weight loss and often the weight that’s lost just from the detox is either just a few ounces of toxins/wastes (not enough to notice a difference on the scale) or it’s just feces that you will replenish when you eat food anyway (so it’s only temporary weight loss).

Either way, it’s very negligible weight loss, so you won’t have to worry about that. Also, if you’re looking to gain weight, I would suggest consulting a nutritionist or dietitian to find the best and safest way to gain weight through diet and exercise (eg. Weight lifting). Good luck and I hope I helped!

Jill answers:

An active zeolite is what you are looking for, it is effective for detoxification as well as bringing your systems to be more strong at any harmful elements and help rid toxins.
