DETOXING

Mum made me fish and potateos.

Lately I have been feeling very heavy in mind and body, and I have been tired and overworked for a while. It was when I met a woman at Gothla.uk
 who told me about a 7- day detox plan that she usually does that I finally found something that I felt I could do. I have tried other detoxing liquids and stuff like that, but it is very hard to keep drinking that stuff every day.
I looked on the internet and I found this 7 day detox plan and it looked just like the woman at Gothla had told me about, so I decided to try. And I did. It was wonderful. Already the first day I felt better, and after the week I felt so much better. Like my body was new again. I didn´t have a heavy head anymore cause my nose was running more. And I am sure I got my bowels cleansed.
The reason why this diet is for 7 days is because it takes food 7 days to get through the system. So after 7 days the bowels should be cleansed.



Day 1: feeling happy and light. I don´t feel tired after eating.
Day 2: Feeling moody and irritabel. Very tempted to have chocolate and salted meat. But feel at ease after sticking to the diet.
Day 3: Runny nose.
Day 4: Runny nose. Feeling happy to find new meals I can eat. Made bread with no wheat. 
Day 5:Low on energy. Need to eat more vegetables!
Day 6: Hungry.
Day 7: Getting used to the diet, but can´t wait to eat cheese and chocolate.


Her is the plan I followed. As you can see I can eat all the vegetables and fruit and fish I want. Only things I cant eat is meat, milk, sugar, salt, coffeine/tea, alchohol and wheat.

Juliette's 7-Day Detox Plan

By Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RD

Rather than following an extreme detox plan that limits just about every food except fruit and veg while at the same time getting you to down a nasty ‘detox’ drink every day, this plan is safer and more sensible and shouldn’t leave you short on nutrients if you follow it for just one week.

Foods to include in the plan

Your plan can include:

• Fruit – your plan can include any fruit including fresh, frozen, dried or canned in natural fruit juice. This includes apples, bananas, pears, oranges, grapefruit, satsumas, sultanas, raisins, pineapple, mango, kiwi fruit, strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, nectarines, peaches, melons, star fruit etc
   
• Fruit juice – either make homemade fruit juices or smoothies from fresh fruit, or drink ready-made juices. Make sure ready-made juices are labelled as being ‘pure’ or ‘unsweetened’.
   
• Vegetables – eat any vegetables including fresh, frozen or canned in water (without salt added). This includes carrots, onions, turnip, swede, sprouts, cabbage, peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn, peppers, leeks, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, salad, tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions etc
