Post-Festive Detox

I first did this detox when I worked for the Doctors Penny in South Africa.

It is a great detox as you don't need to starve yourself :-)

It just takes a little self-control to get through the 2 weeks - but it is well worth it!

They have just launched a fantastic new wellness website called

The Wellness Brothers

http://www.thewellnessbrothers.com/

and have written their first book:

I highly recommend anything from these guys!

(And no, no royalties are coming my way - :0))

Here's the detox:

Eat:

Plenty of fresh, raw fruit and veg.

Big salads are great.

~

Drink:

Loads of pure water.

Real fruit smoothies.

~

Stay away from:

Sugar

Refined carbohydrates

(white bread, white pasta, white rice, cake, cookies etc)

Dairy

Alcohol

Tea & Coffee

~

Don't combine protein and carbohydrates in one meal.

ie: Meat and veg = ok

Wholegrain carbs and veg = ok

Meat and potatoes = not ok

~

Mild excercise.

~

You might experience headaches for the first few days,

this is how you know the detox is working.

Drink more water to flush out the toxins and take a nap!

Keep this up for two weeks,

not only will you feel great,

all your cravings will have ceased as well

setting you up for a healthy 2011.
