as for detoxs.....

your body does that for you...just steer clear of alcohol, salty foods, and fats for a few days and your liver will right your body for you!

what she said!

Beyonce did it for 14 days and lost 22lbs for her role in dream girls (i googled that, it wasnt off the top of my head!) Im sure i read an article with her at the time saying she did not reccomend it but all the sites i find seem to be using her as a good exaple of it working! I did a Juice detox once, your suppsoed to be able to do it for 7 days and all you drink is homemade juice, you actually get through a hell of a lot of fruit and veg and some were smoothies made with avocado but after three days i quit. My body may have been getting more nutrients than it has ever had before but i need carbs and i need food i can chew or else i just go to sleep!! If you do decide to go for it, perhaps just do it for a few days as a diet kick start rather than a diet in itself? xx

I bought the syrup from planet organic it was about seventeen pounds. it tasted vile so i gave up after a day and had a mars bar. Its just syrup. i am not convinced at how only drinking sugary syrup with lemons can detox.It's just based on clever marketing to sell expensive syrup that is the same as the stuff you can find in Tescos for a lot cheaper. I had it on my pancakes on tuesday. bah.
I do belive in the benifits of Detox though.
My fave one is the Jason Vale Juice Diet. I felt amazing the whole time i was on it and had loads of energy and my skin glowed I also lost two stone. If I have early morning rehearsals I always have a carrat and ginger juice just to give me a bit of energy to start the day with.
