Yes I’m “detoxing.” I do this every once in a while when I over indulge for too long and my body starts to not feel as well as it usually does because of all the sugars and oils.

I don’t do anything special, I just eat extra healthy for a few weeks (2 or more!) I try to eat a lot of extra raw foods too during this time. So for example yesterday…

breakfast – apple
snack – 100kcal pack pretzels
lunch – salad, apple
snack – banana
snack – 2 slices of whole wheat bread w/sugar free jelly
dinner – fish, steamed vegetables, brown rice, large salad
snack – mini bell peppers, grapes

I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day during this time, avoid caffeine, drink lots of green tea (or barely tea,) stay on top of taking my vitamins (C, A, E, D, Calcium, collagen) I also drink herbal teas (which I hate but feel they work) like this cranberry one to help combat bloating from all the salts & sugars I had eaten previously. I try to take a hot 30min bath every night often with detoxing bath salts during this period. I work out 5 times a week for 10 minutes doing crunches, push ups and leg lifts.

If I need to kill a sweet tooth craving I drink Swiss Miss Diet cocoa.

It’s not extremely off from my usual lifestyle. I eat apples everyday regardless. I try to take my vitamins everyday and drink water not including teas. I don’t eat a lot of sugar or drink a lot of caffeinated drinks either. I do indulge but only occasionally like once or twice a month. But holidays tend to sucker me in with sugary treats and breads and heavy meats. The “detox” helps get me back to my normal routine. Because usually I don’t feel fatigued or tired until I over indulge.
