At the moment I'm feeling the pinch of the economic slowdown, perhaps working a little too hard and for sure eating to many types of junk foods. A good friend of mine recommended that I try some form of detox plan. How I laughed and told him no way was this for me. My friend though is no mug and got me hook line and sinker by offering me a bet that I could not stay on a detox plan for 5 days. The bet was accepted and off I went online to do a little (or perhaps a lot) of research.
It soon became clear to me that this was not going to be easy! No tea, coffee or beer. No meats or processed foods! Oh my I was starting to doubt myself. After surfing the net for what seemed like an age I did find a site that offered several detox plans and the info was available without any charge which was great.
Now let me tell you detox plans vastly vary from some that only allow you to take fluids to others that do allow you to eat. The 5 Day Body Detox Plan I found did allow me to eat although only fruit. My doctor gave me the all clear so detox began! The great thing about this diet plan was that I could eat as much fruit I wanted so I was never hungry. I have to be honest and say I did miss my coffee and my daily pint of beer and the first 48 hours I did struggle but I did stick to it. After 48 hours I stopped feeling light headed and even started to enjoy my daily walks which were part of the plan.
After the 5 days I could really feel a difference in me and to some degree did feel a sense of being cleansed but I also felt energized. The plan has made me realize that I can cut down on my coffee and alcohol intake and I can get by without all the junk food I have been consuming for the last 20 or so years. Yes I won the bet but better still I'm hoping this experience will change my thinking towards my diet for many years to come.
My message to you is give a detox plan a go. There are many available so pick one that you think is right for you. It worked for me so it should work for anybody!
If I can complete a 5 day body detox plan then anybody can! Find a detox plan that is right for you and give it a go. It could be the start of a new you!
