Im just about to start it. Any info or pointers? It would be great to here your experiences!
Here's some advice: Don't do it.
The body naturally detoxes all the time. That's why we drink water and eat fiber. This whole new craze is going to be around another year and it will disappear once people stop buying the product. Remember how 'In the News' Adkins was? That's the same thing. It's simply a way to get your money away from you with promises of making you feel better.
Some problems with the Detox Diet
1. You're not eating food. You need to eat food to help your body continually function at it's highest level. If you stop eating food, you can't repair your muscles, your organs aren't as highly functional, and you feel like crap.
2. It HURTS. Being hungry is painful and irritating. If you fast for religion, that's okay, but doing it to 'cleanse' yourself is something else. When I was 5 years old, I learned to NOT touch the stove because it hurt. Pain means something is not working for your body. If you hurt because you haven't eaten in a day or two, you need to change things.
3. Do you really want to slow down your metabolism? Your body will go off-kilter if you stop eating. And what is this with lemons and cayanne? They picked two arbitrary items to eat and ran with it. It sounds like Scientologists flying in DC-10s or whatever.
People say they do feel good after a detox, but that's because they're finally drinking enough water. With all the sodas, juices, coffees, and beers out there, you're dehydrated. That's the only thing that's wrong with you.
If you simply add more water to your daily intake and you avoid fast food and fried food and too much candy, you'll feel 100 times better. Trust me.
