Im looking for detox recipes to cleanse my system out after xmas! Possibly one thats done over a 7-day period. And one that doesn't include loadsa of fancy ingredients I cant either afford nor find! Any ideas?

i am on one at the moment. its a very light detox but i think this time of year it is better than a hardcore one.

start the day with the ginger drink: boil fresh ginger, then add honey and squeeze half a lemon in.

mid morning: eat some fruit

lunch: either fresh vegetable soup or salad

more snacks: fresh fruit, veg and nuts (radishes and cherry tomatoes are good)

dinner: vegetable casserole (today it will be 10 bean and mushroom) or cous cous/quinoa and roast veg

if i am dying for carbs i eat a couple of multi-seed rivita.

i drink only water and herbal teas.

i do not allow myself any dairly apart from a bit of bio yoghurt, or meat, or alcohol for the first 3-4 days.

that's about it, good luck!

People have been talking about detox on the tv for days and they all said detox diets were tosh and all you should do is drink plentyof water and get plenty of sleep. Cheap as well.

Pint of water every 2 hours. Your body will do the rest.

yes detoxes are unfashionable nowadays. but i always feel fantastic after ive done one.

all a detox is essentially is avoiding smoking, alcohol, cafeine and processed foods for a couple of weeks. how can that be a bad thing?? dont understand
