3 Day Detox Diet

Is a 3 day detox diet for you? If you are like me and perhaps over do it with junk food. Drink too much caffeine and perhaps over indulge with alcohol, why  not try a 3 day detox diet. Yes this will be a great challenge to your system but it is something you can do and it may change your life.

You are not going to have to starve yourself and if you follow the plan properly you will not even be hungry. You will though crave for things such as coffee and your favourite junk food but remember this is only for 3 days.

Let’s first look at what you can drink. Well forget tea, coffee and alcohol and also any type of soda as you are going to be restricted to water and fruit juices. If you have a juicer you will be amazed of some of the great tasting juice drinks you can make. When most newbie’s try their first detox they are amazed at the different types of good tasting drinks they can quickly make with a decent juicer.

Now for food you can eat for this 3 day detox diet you are not going to be restricted to fruit. You are also allowed to eat potatoes and fresh fish. Remember though you have to keep any from any other foods.

To make things easier for you I will list 3 detox diet recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
