Without proper nutritional support, that was true, I agreed. But that’s the advantage of a healthy detox diet. You begin with a Seven-Day Prequel, fortifying your liver and stimulating your colon to eliminate waste properly by eating Liver-Loving and Colon-Caring Foods; drinking lots of pure water; and avoiding such Detox Detractors as alcohol, refined sugar, gluten, soya isolates, caffeine, the wrong kinds of fats and mould.

On healthy detox diets, you drink a delicious spiced juice made of cranberries and citrus, with ingredients carefully chosen to blunt your hunger, balance your blood sugar, rev up your metabolism and nourish your organs. Then a three day detox helps ease you back into eating and ensures you get the fiber and water you need to rid your system of any remaining toxins. You seal in the results of your fast by consuming natural food sources of probiotics, which help restore the friendly bacteria you need to keep your digestive and immune systems working at optimum levels.
