How To Detox For Weight Loss

Eating on a detoxification diet can be tricky. Many people start a detox diet only to drop the whole program due to feelings of overwhelm and confusion. No more.

 If you want to detoxify your body from the daily junk, then here are the 2 eating guidelines that can help you stay sharp and energized, while cleansing your body from all the junk.

Feed Your Body “Alkaline” Foods

The main goal of a detox diet is to reduce acidity levels in the body. Waste products from exposure to toxins leads to the acidification of your body. Therefore, feeding your body with alkaline foods can help you fight the acidity and keep it at bay.

Make sure that you’re taking in enough alkaline foods and beverages such as fruits, veggies and nuts. Substitute the high acid beverages such coffee and soda with water, lemon juices and herbal tea.

By eating this way, you’ll provide your body with plenty of protein fiber, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to sustain your daily tasks, while paving the road to better weight loss results and superior health.

How Long to Detox

The duration of your detox regime depends on your goals and will-power. nearly all experts propose a  48-hour period for the novice. As you get familiar with the whole cleansing process, you can detox for more days, or weeks.

 Nevertheless, make sure that you’re taking everything in moderation. Though detoxing your body is healthy and very beneficial, doing too much or depriving your body from the nutrients and much needed calories  can take its toll on your efforts toward a healthier life.
