The Lemon Detox
Detox Programmes
Detox or diet? ‘Detox’ and ‘diet’ are often confused as the same thing. But there is a real difference. While significant weight loss is a natural bi-product of any real detox, the primary reason for doing ‘The Lemon Detox’ should be to cleanse the body of toxins. A more relaxed version of the programme does however exist for people wishing to use ‘The Lemon Detox’ to support themselves whilst dieting.
The ‘Total Detox’ Programme
Depending on how accustomed your body is to fasting, The Lemon Detox can be done for 5-7 days. For people embarking on a fast for the first time, this can be done for 3-5 days. For those more experienced this can be extended up to 10 days, but should only be done so under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
During the detox, drink only the recommended liquids and do not eat solid foods. Each day drink 7-10 glasses of the detox drink, along with at least two litres of water.
The ‘Relaxed Diet’ Programme
For those wishing to try a more relaxed version, over a longer period of time, you can substitute breakfast and dinner with 2-3 glasses of the detox drink. Eat a healthy meal at lunchtime, abstaining from sweets, processed foods, red meat, fried foods, white bread, refined flour, dairy products, coffee cigarettes and alcohol. This lengthens the time each night that the body can cleanse. This should be done over a period of two weeks. The effects are not as dramatic as the full detox but it is nevertheless an effective programme.
